92% participation of renewable sources in the energy matrix
Percentage of renewable energy in the fuel energy matrix

|---|---|---|---|
| 89.50% | 90.90% | 92.30% | 92% |
In 2023, the company's renewable energy matrix indicator increased. We reduced the consumption of non-renewable fuels, such as fuel oil in our pulp and paper units, as well as the consumption of natural gas in our recycled paper production operations.
In 2023, the PUMA unit operated a biomass gasification plant as a fuel for one of its lime kilns, contributing to a reduction in fuel oil consumption at the unit. These actions contributed to the significant growth of the company's energy matrix this year, reaching results of over 92%.
This year we started the tests for the bio-oil use in the lime kilns at the Monte Alegre unit. Over the course of 2023, three tests were conducted on an industrial scale, achieving 100% replacement of the use of fuel oil during the operation of the equipment.
The reaching over 100% of the long-term target indicates improvements in operational controls, which have influenced the decrease in shutdowns and equipment downtime and, consequently, reducing the demand for fuel consumption, alongside the implementation of new expansion projects. The company is currently evaluating its own maturity to increase the ambition of the target, compared to the scenario of temporary exhaustion of available technologies, despite other more cost-effective initiatives that support the company's decarbonization path.
KODS 2030
100% purchase of certified energy from renewable sources
Percentage of energy purchased certified (renewable source)
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 (Preview) | 2030 Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96.60% | 99.91% | 99.88% | 100% |
In 2023, 100% of the electricity consumed at the units located in Brazil came from renewable sources, and this was certified by purchasing IRECs and self-declarations. The Pilar unit is in the process, with the Argentinian regulatory institute, of certifying its electricity consumption. Therefore, in case the result of the performance indicator is the same for the next year, the target will no longer be considered a general goal and will become an internal process.

In 2022, there was lower consumption of fuel oil, mainly at the Correia Pinto and Angatuba units, resulting in a reduction in energy consumption for the business. In Correia Pinto, there was a decrease in the consumption of the main fuels, with gains in energy efficiency being observed. For Packaging, the main contribution is related to lower energy consumption at the Rio Negro Unit. For Bags, there was a decrease in LPG consumption, which contributed to the reduction of energy consumption in the business.

A portion of the forest biomass used by the Company (33%) comes from the forest operation itself, shells and residual biomass from the process, which reduces the risk of input shortage.
In addition, planning is made considering (i) demand and supply of the input and (ii) price volatility, in order to control and mitigate possible risks of lack of supply.
Another important point to be considered is that the Company has been investing in technology, such as biomass gasification, to optimize and make better use of this input.
Environmental and climate change management, as well as energy efficiency promotion and encouragement are expressed in our Guidelines for Climate Change Management – Adaptation and Mitigation. The Puma Unit relies on the involvement of employees, through the Internal Energy Conservation Committee (CICE), which fosters opportunities to reduce energy, steam and compressed air consumption, as well as the elimination of waste among workers.
Klabin is also committed to energy production and to the progressive increase of the renewable energy matrix, produced from biomass and black liquor, with 62% of the total electricity consumed coming from thermal and hydraulic energy self-generated by the Company. The rest of the electricity is purchased from the system, being 100% from renewable sources.
As for the amount of electricity generated and purchased, 82% of Klabin's energy is self-sufficient, that is, it produces almost all of the energy it consumes.
The pursuit of energy efficiency is a constant in Klabin’s environmental management, which is continuously concerned with the optimization of energy consumption in industrial plants.
In 2022, the Puma Unit sold 729,784 MWh to the National Electric System, representing 25% of the total electricity produced by Klabin.
The energy generated by Klabin has an energy matrix predominantly formed by renewable sources, corresponding to 90.9% of the total generated.
In 2022, 33 managers (from consultants to managers, representing 5% of the total) responsible for addressing the topic at the Company linked their compensation to energy goals.
In 2022, the Company incorporated into its management system the formation of an Energy Committee, comprised of a multidisciplinary team with the goal of strategically developing actions and opportunities for innovation to advance the topic year-over-year and, consequently, its results and indicators.
The Puma Unit is ISO 50001:2018 certified for its Energy Management System and maintains an internal and external audit system. In addition to the public targets included in the 2030 Agenda, Klabin also considers targets for power generation, which are one of the criteria for the profit sharing program of the unit's employees. In 2020, the tall oil* plant of the Puma Unit came online, increasing the share of renewable fuels in the energy matrix. In 2021, the Puma II operation began and with it biomass gasification with start-up in March 2022. With the start of this process and the increased consumption of bio-oil at the Correia Pinto Unit, which replaced the consumption of fuel oil, the share of renewable fuels rose to 90.9% of the energy matrix from these sources.
The other industrial units follow the control and monitoring of the energy indicator in accordance with ISO 14001 certification.
*Tall oil is a byproduct of pulp, obtained from the separation of tall oil soap from burnt black liquor to generate steam and electricity.
