The Cautín S.A. Carbon Project represents an opportunity to expand the traditional scope of the forestry sector in Chile and Latin America through forest rotation extension. This approach makes it possible to prolong the growth cycle of plantations, significantly increasing the period of carbon capture and storage.
Extending rotation helps maintain forest structure for a longer time, reduces pressure on soils, and supports more stable conditions for biodiversity. In this way, the project not only contributes to climate change mitigation but also promotes a more responsible and resilient forest management model, aligned with today’s environmental challenges.
The project implements a set of actions aimed at strengthening sustainable land management and environmental protection across 5,989 hectares owned by Bosques Cautín. These initiatives seek to improve forest care, promote responsible practices, and foster environmental education and capacity building within local communities. Together, these actions contribute to a positive and lasting impact on the climate, biodiversity, and quality of life in the territories where we operate.
Investing in wind energy is one of the most strategic and sustainable decisions to enhance the transition to renewable energy sources. In this project, 36 wind turbines equipped with the latest technology will be installed, generating a total capacity of 210 MW of power. This development will not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions but also promote long-term energy independence.
Each wind turbine has been designed to take full advantage of the region’s wind conditions, ensuring optimal and efficient operation. These wind turbines will generate clean energy and offer a cost-effective solution compared to traditional energy sources for many years to come.
The project is part of a long-term investment strategy focused on promoting renewable energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, it will have a significant impact on the local economy due to job creation during the construction and maintenance phases, as well as strengthening the regional economy through sustainable energy production.
