🇨🇱 📢 CMPC's Chillán Plant Achieves Solar Self-Sufficiency.
🙌 Exciting news from Chile! CMPC has just activated a significant solar energy project at its Chillán plant in the Biopackaging division, marking a crucial step toward sustainability. This initiative is part of CMPC's broader effort to power its operations sustainably, with Chillán being the second of four planned projects.
🔋 By generating approximately 235 KWh annually, the Chillán solar plant will cut CO2 emissions by 95 tons each year—equivalent to the annual carbon footprint of over 30 individuals. Once all projects are online, they are expected to offset about 900 tons of CO2 annually, akin to removing 3,500 cars from the roads or planting 36,000 trees.
🌎 This project was developed and constructed by Colbún, with support from local contractors like Tesla Energía, managed by CMPC's Bioenergías Forestales, and advised by Anabática consulting.
🔆 Rocío Hizmeri, Presidential Delegate for Punilla Province, highlighted the project's alignment with public and private sustainability goals, praising its role in making production processes more autonomous, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
👍 Juan Salinas, Commercial Manager at Colbún, emphasized the project's contribution to CMPC's sustainability goals and its broader impact on Chile's carbon neutrality targets and economic growth through job creation and investment attraction.
🇨🇱 🙌 This milestone not only advances CMPC’s commitment to renewable energy but also supports Chile’s transition to a more sustainable energy future.
