                                            Arauco generates renewable energy from forestry biomass and uses it in
                                            the production processes.

                                            In Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, we are self-sufficient in net electricity
                                            consumption and we sell the surplus to the local grid.

                  Revenues                  5 cogeneration plants in Chile and 1 plant in Uruguay are registered under
                                            the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
                                            We expect MAPA will generate an additional surplus of 142MW available
                      MUS                   for the national grid.

DISSOLVING PULP PROJECT

                          • Dissolving Pulp Project is a brownfield project, located in the Valdivia mill and approved by
                            ARAUCO’s Board of Directors on September 2017.

                          • This US$ 200 million investment consisted in the mill’s adaptation to produce dissolving
                            pulp, with the option to switch back to paper pulp production. This project allows Arauco
                            to continue diversifying its product portfolio and reaching new costumers

                          • Dissolving pulp is used to produce viscose, an alternative material for cotton. It is used to
                            soften, shine, and purify fibers.

                          • At the beginning of June, the first dissolving pulp bales started coming out of our
                            Valdivia mill, thus marking the completion of the Dissolving Pulp Project. Our dissolving
                            pulp will be marketed under the brand name ARAUCO Create.

                          • This constitutes a highlight in the history of our Company, having brought together
                            innovation in sustainable fibers and diversification of our product portfolio.

                                                                                                                       26
