Replace fuel oil with a 100 % clean and renewable energy source : biomass gasification . This is the recent sustainability measure adopted by Klabin with the Puma II Project , to expand the industrial unit in Ortigueira ( PR ). The company will stop consuming 21,500 tons of BPF oil per year , a fuel that is derived from petroleum to supply one of its lime kilns . The energy matrix will have an increase in the share of renewable fuels , exceeding 90 % and a reduction of 67 thousand tons of CO2 equivalent per year in greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions in the company ' s operations .
The company is increasingly aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda through the Klabin Goals for Sustainable Development . Among the commitments made is the reduction of the share of fossil fuels to ensure an energy matrix of at least 92 % renewable by 2030 . In addition , there is a goal approved by science that provides for the reduction of specific emissions of Greenhouse Gases ( scope 1 and 2 ) by 25 % per ton of pulp , paperboard and packaging by 2025 , and by 49 % by 2035 , as of base year 2019 .
