Klabin made significant progress in its renewable energy matrix indicator. There was a reduction in the consumption of non-renewable fuels such as fuel oil in the pulp and paper units and natural gas in recycling operations.
One of the highlights is the Ortigueira Unit, which operated the biomass gasification plant, generating fuel for supplying one of the lime kilns and contributing to the reduction in fuel oil consumption at the unit. The result was significant growth in the Company's renewable energy matrix, reaching over 92% of the total.
Klabin remains committed, investing in research, development, and innovation to replace non-renewable fuels. In addition to the progress already achieved, it highlights the conduct of three industrial-scale tests for using bio-oil in the lime kilns at the Monte Alegre Unit, replacing 100% fuel oil.
KODS 2030
100% purchase of certified energy from renewable sources
Percentage of energy purchased certified (renewable source)
| 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 (Preview) | 2030 Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62.00% | 96.60% | 99.91% | 99.88% | 100% |
In 2023, 100% of all electricity consumed at the units located in Brazil came from renewable sources, and this was certified by purchasing IRECs and self-declarations. As a result, if this indicator result repeats in the next year, the target will no longer be considered a general goal but will be internalized as a standard process.

In 2024, the reduction in consumption in the operations of the recycled materials business unit was directly related to decreased use of natural gas. In addition, it is worth highlighting monthly critical analyses, which allow the Company to identify opportunities and implement actions aimed at optimizing resource consumption.

Risks and opportunities associated with the use of biomass as an energy source
Most of the forest biomass used at Klabin, such as bark and residual biomass from production processes, comes from forestry operations, which reduces the risk of input shortages. Planning takes into account input demand and supply, as well as price volatility, allowing for control and mitigation of potential supply risks. The Company also invests in technology, such as biomass gasification, in operation since 2022, to optimize the use of this material.
Klabin has an internal goal to reduce electricity consumption in its industrial operations by at least 1% per year, focusing on energy efficiency in its production processes. In 2024, the Company also continued to progress in terms of renewable sources’ share of its energy supplies, which reached 93%.
In 2023, Klabin exceeded the goal set for 2030 by 0.6 percentage points, with 92.6% of its energy supplies coming from renewable sources. This achievement was built over the last few years through a series of initiatives. The Company is committed to producing and progressively increasing its energy supplies from renewable sources, mainly biomass and black liquor. With regard to electricity, 100% of the power purchased from the national grid is certified as coming from renewable sources.
Klabin’s energy generation goals, which are part of its public 2030 Agenda goals, are among the criteria for calculating the performance-based pay of its employees.
Timeline of initiatives and investments to increase the share of renewable sources in Klabin’s energy supplies
| 2020 | Startup of tall oil* plant at Ortigueira Plant. |
| 2022 | Startup of biomass gasification plant at Ortigueira Plant; Increased consumption of bio-oil at Correia Pinto Plant. |
| 2023 | Klabin 2030 Sustainable Development Goal surpassed by 0.6%, with 92.6% of the Company’s energy supplies coming from renewable sources. |
| 2024 | The Ortigueira plant sells 388,100 MWh to the national grid – 14% of all the electricity produced by Klabin. |
*Tall oil is a byproduct of pulp production, obtained from separating tall oil soap from black liquor burned to generate steam and electricity.
