    Environmental aspects

    The scope of EIB financing operation is to support the promoter's Carbon Neutrality Strategy by building a new biomass boiler, which will replace existing obsolete equipment of the vertically integrated pulp and paper mill in Figueira do Foz. The new biomass boiler will be compliant with the new emission limits established by the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and in the Decision EU 2017/1442, setting the environmental standards for large combustion plants.

    Procurement

    Although the Promoter is a private company not operating in the utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU directives on procurement, the promoter has to ensure that any procurement procedures are done in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement rules.
