All of the wood required for pulp production in Brazil comes from plantations, mainly eucalyptus and pinus. About 62% of Brazilian wood consumption is for energy purposes, mostly firewood or charcoal used by individuals and small rural communities. The pulp and paper industry consumes only 13% of the total.
