Brazil's Mato Grosso state committed on Monday to eliminate native forest firewood in industrial boilers by 2034. The move targets the state's corn ethanol sector, where 10 plants operate and 10 more are planned. Stricter fuel sourcing rules will force industrial operators to invest in 700,000 hectares of planted forests by 2040.
