Precious Woods has closed two firm Emission Reduction Purchase
Agreements (ERPAs) to sell 770,000 tons of CO2 equivalent between
2006 and 2012. The contracted volume amounts to over 50% of the
current and expected future production of Certified Emission Rights
(CERs) until 2012 from its fuel switch and methane reduction project
in Itacoatiara, Brazil. Based on these two firm agreements, the
Precious Woods Group expects the revenue of its Carbon and Energy
business segment to be in the region of USD 10 million and net
profits from this segment to be in excess of USD 5 million in 2006.
The net proceeds from the sale of CERs will be employed to finance
the further expansion of the Group's sustainable forest operations in
Latin America and Africa. The Precious Woods Group strives to conduct
all of its forestry operations in accordance with the strict
ecological and social criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC).
Precious Woods (SWX: PRWN) is active in the reforestation and
sustainable management of tropical forests, downstream wood
