![]() Compare with chronic toxicity.Īerobic: Refers to an environment in which oxygen (O 2) is readily available. See also buffering capacity.Īcidification: An increasing concentration of hydrogen ions (H +) in soil or water.Īcidifying deposition: Both the wet and dry deposition of acidifying substances from the atmosphere.Īcute toxicity: Toxicity associated with short-term exposures to chemicals in concentrations high enough to cause biochemical or anatomical damages, even death. See also acidifying deposition.Īcid shock: An event of relatively acidic surface water that can occur in the springtime when the snowpack melts quickly but the ground is still frozen.Īcid sulphate soil: Acidic soil conditions caused when certain wetlands are drained and sulphide compounds become oxidized.Īcid-mine drainage: Acidic water and soil conditions that develop when sulphide minerals become exposed to the atmosphere, allowing them to be oxidized by Thiobacillus bacteria.Īcid-neutralizing capacity: The quantitative ability of water to neutralize inputs of acid without becoming acidified. Compare with precision.Īcid rain: The wet deposition only of acidifying substances from the atmosphere. Making a sustainable future the growth story of our time.Įncouraging innovative financial instruments in order to scale and accelerate transition efforts across business, industries and countries.Accuracy: The degree to which a measurement or observation reflects the actual value. In line with the articles of the Terra Carta, this project aims to: Create Sustainable Industries With the new regulation framework, the project team has developed a contract that benefits new entrants, respecting all government goals and legislations. For this reason, Nova Ferroeste will be the first project to go auction with the environmental license. This “simultaneous engineering” guaranteed that the project is robust and respects all the Federal environmental guidelines. Substantial reduction in road accidents and road deathsįeasibility studies were designed at the same time as the environmental studies were. The NOVA FERROESTE project is expected, but not restricted, to:ĭiminish fuel consumption (around 24 billions of diesel liters over 65 years) In 2022, the port expects to move 60 million tons of products in 2030 the port is expected to move near 100 million tons. The corridor is supported by the most efficient port in South America, the port of Paranaguá (Paraná). Located in the States of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul, the new track will become the 2nd largest exporter and importer corridor in Brazil. The current transport solution for all this is diesel trucks.Ĭonsidering the World Bank’s definition the current infrastructure situation the State of Paraná’s sustainable goals and the new regulatory framework, the NOVA FERROESTE project comes as a sustainable solution for the southwest of Brazil. ![]() Rivers are not compatible for transportation as they flow inland and south, rather than towards the east coast. It’s important to emphasize that the southwest region also faces limitation on water transportation. The very same region has a rail mesh that is either abandoned or limited due to its century design. ![]() The southwest region of Brazil, including the State of Paraná (Project Owner of Nova Ferroeste), Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, is responsible for almost 1/3 of the country’s agriculture production. Brazil, the 5th largest country and one of the biggest commodities producers in the world, lacks of an efficient infrastructure. ![]() ![]() Railways are described by the World Bank as “the climate-smart and efficient way to move people and freight". ![]()
