Brazilian
pulp producer Eldorado Brasil has applied to the Brazilian middle west
dvelopment fund (FDCO) to raise Real 1.4 billion for the expansion of its 1.3
million tonnes/yr bleached eucalyptus kraft (BEK) pulp mill in Três Lagoas,
Mato Grosso do Sul. The funds would be used for the construction of a new 2
million tonnes/yr BEK pulp line, estimated at Real 7 billion and scheduled to
start operating in 2017.
Grubisich first announced the company's intentions of building a 2 million tonnes/yr line - instead of the previously planned 1.7 million tonnes/yr line - last August, in the CEO/Executive Panel Discussion at RISI's Latin American Pulp and Paper Outlook Conference, in São Paulo, Brazil.
