2 2 Emissions Executive Summary Greenhouse gas inventories are important tools, both to quantify emissions and to develop awareness of the climate change issue. Fibria works with the Carbon Footprint concept, with broadened boundaries. The inventory includes most of the direct and indirect activities related to pulp production. Due to the absence of an all-purpose consolidated methodology, different programs require data and boundaries to be changed. Consequently, in an effort to simplify the practical application of the findings, this report will present the results of this assessment in different templates. Fibria has developed a methodology employing flow layouts to gather and disclose data incorporating basic ISO principles (completeness, transparency, relevance, consistency, precision), clarifying the considered organizational and operational boundaries. Additionally, towards the end of 2010, a tool to improve management capabilities was implemented. This tool generates a report on fossil fuels under scope 1 on a monthly basis. From 2012, emissions have decreased by 5%, 1% proportionally to the lower production level, but still overpassing the 2% target set to 2013, despite the 47% increase in the GRID emission factor. In 2013, Jacareí s gas turbine was inoperative for six months, affecting results. As in previous years, the contribution of conservation areas in CO2 sequestration is presented. In 2013, an assessment on the state of conservation of such areas was reviewed. With this new information, the level of uncertainty regarding the sequestration provided by this area reduced to 30% on the 20% updated data from Jacareí forestry base. The other area remained 50%. Base Year for this report is 2011 (according to ISO definitions), reference year for the long-term target to double net sequestration. Regarding the Base Year, reduction was of 3,27%, after harmonization of The table below summarizes the findings of this assessment.

5 5 Protocols for Estimating and Reporting GHG Emissions Various international protocols have been developed to calculate GHG emissions, including the one from the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development - WBCSD. The WRI (World Resources Institute) is a non-governmental organization that operates in conjunction with corporations, enterprises and investors in order to spearhead changes in business practices and find solutions that creatively address socio-environmental challenges. The WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) is a coalition of almost 200 multinational companies that share a commitment to the environment, economic growth principles and sustainable development. Their members represent 34 countries and over 20 industrial sectors and share knowledge over their network on their experiences using the eco-efficiency concept, as well as exchanging ideas with the global business community. This inventory was based on the following documents prepared by the World Resources Institute in conjunction with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol a Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised Edition. Calculation Tools for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Pulp and Paper Mills, from the Climate Change Working Group of the International Council of Forest and Paper Associations (ICFPA), version 1.3; Calculation Tools for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Mobile Combustion, version 1.2. CO2 Emissions from Business Travel, version 2.0. Programa Brasileiro GHGProtocol The following documents prepared by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) were also used: 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry. Although there is no standardized definition for Carbon Footprint, it is generally understood to be the result of a calculation showing the net greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product, within a broad boundary. Downstream in our Value Chain, the application of the abovementioned standards in the development of the Carbon Footprint for paper and board products is often unclear, due to the unique attributes of the sector. In order to address this issue, CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries) has developed a framework for the development of the Carbon Footprint for paper and board products. In order to reinforce the long lasting partnership with our stakeholders, results from this Carbon Footprint inventory are also presented according to the CEPI framework for paper and board products.

6 6 GHG Emission Categories The WRI/WBCSD protocols establish emission categories, to define operational boundaries for accounting purposes. Below, we explain these categories in detail, since the report was based on them. Stationary combustion (generation of steam and electricity using fossil fuels) Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions Scope 2: Indirect Emissions Scope 3: Other indirect emissions Emission sources that are owned or controlled by the company. Emissions generated from the production of electricity consumed by the company (industrial and forestry) Emission sources that are not owned or controlled by the company. Table 1 GHG Emission Scopes Emissions generated in specific processes such as waste management, fertilizing and soil correction Mobile combustion (waste transportation, harvesting and freight activities.) Outsourced transportation Outsourced forestry operations (Silviculture, road construction) Air travel and Employee commuting Use of the sold products (Electricity and Steam) Fibria has classified the following items as direct emissions: Emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in stationary equipment (lime kiln, recovery boilers, power boiler); CO2 emissions from combustion in transport equipment; CO2 emissions from combustion in off-road forestry equipment (Harvest and Freight); CH4 from wastewater treatment; CH4 emissions at landfills; CO2 and N2O emissions from fertilizing and soil correction; CH4 and N2O emissions from combustion of biomass; Fibria has classified the following items as indirect emissions: Emissions from purchased electricity; Emissions from forestry outsourced operations (silviculture, rail wood freight) CO2 emissions from employee transportation, including travel. Emissions from truck, rail, barge and marine transportation of pulp. Fibria also considered the sequestration provided by eucalyptus plantations and native forest areas. Regarding NF3 sources, they were not inventoried in time for this report, and will be included on next year s report.

7 7 Equivalent Carbon Dioxide (CO2eq) The CH4 and N2O emissions are expressed as CO2eq throughout the entire inventory. Description of Fibria s Operations Fibria is one of the largest pulp and paper manufacturing companies in the world, and the leading producer of Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp (BEKP), from 100% planted forest. The process of continuously calculating the pulp carbon footprint emphasizes its commitment towards more environmental friendly products. Fibria has forestry operations in six states (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo), and three mills, namely Aracruz, Jacareí and Três Lagoas, as well as a 50% equity stake in the Veracel project, a joint venture with StoraEnso in Bahia state. The facilities supply the global market with high quality pulp, for all paper grades (printing & writing, tissue, board, specialties, etc). The information herein highlights Fibria s controlled operational GHG emissions in the abovementioned states. This report details the results of this assessment, fulfilling multiple purpose requirements for Greenhouse Gas Emissions disclosure. Additionally, sequestration by native forest areas is accounted for, based on rough estimates, from a comparison between Fibria s eco-floristic classification and the one by the IPCC. After the comparison, IPCC tier 1 biomass factors were applied to estimate growth and, consequently, carbon sequestration. The production chain was organized into the following three major flow layouts: forestry, industrial and logistics, wherein the main emission sources were mapped. All emission sources are listed and accounted for in accordance with the GHG Protocol methodology, applying the control-based approach in the pulp mills (facilities under operational control). The sources considered were determined by cut-off criteria 2. Through this methodology, we assure full coverage of the inventory boundaries and its assumptions. 2 The cut-off criteria are outlined in Addendum I

8 8 Forestry Flow Layout These diagrams represent a summary of the forestry activities related to Aracruz, Jacareí and Três Lagoas mill operations. The process comprises four major activities: nurseries, silviculture, harvesting and transportation. With regard to waste from the nurseries, effluent is directed to decantation or septic tanks. Regular monitoring is conducted, before the treated effluent is returned to its original environment. Solid waste is donated or reused for landscaping, while other organic matter is disposed in landfills. The quantity of emissions in both cases is insignificant in comparison with the total emissions. Jacareí Jacareí s forestry operations are concentrated in the Paraíba valley and Capão Bonito. The process begins in the nurseries, where the seedlings are cultivated. The mapped sources (Synthetic Fertilizer, Electrical Energy, LPG and Diesel) are related to the activity of preparing the seedlings for planting. In the next stage of the process, the seedling planting begins. This involves transportation from the nursery to the forest and also includes soil preparation and forestry operations using machinery and fertilizers. Once the forest is planted, it becomes the main carbon dioxide sequestration destination. The amounts sequestered are proportional to the age of the forest. After approximately seven years, the wood is harvested using specialized equipment and prepared for transport to the industrial facility. In this stage, the principal emission source is diesel. During harvesting, all bark, leaves and other surplus biomass remains on the ground, to preserve soil fertility. This flow ends with the transportation of the prepared wood to the plants in trucks.

9 9 Aracruz Aracruz Forestry operations are distributed among the states of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia, and involve a production nursery, where the seedlings are produced, and two distributing warehouses for the seedlings. Around 80% of the bark, leaves and other surplus biomass remains on the ground, to preserve soil fertility. The rest goes to the mill to be burned as fuel in the power boilers. The process is very similar to the Jacareí operation, and the logs are transported by a diversified set of logistical activities, including not only trucks but also barges and rail. Três Lagoas The forestry operation in Três Lagoas comprises a nursery, where seedlings are produced, and silviculture operations. After seven years, harvesting operations produce logs with and without bark, in a forecast proportion of 60%/40%, with the bark intended for use as biomass fuel. Finally, wood is transported to the mill by trucks. The Três Lagoas mill is a greenfield operation, located very close to the forests.

10 1 0 Industrial Flow Layout The Industrial diagram represents the stage when the pulp is extracted from the wood, using a method known as the Kraft Process. Among the numerous advantages, from an environmental standpoint, the Kraft Process is self-sufficient in electrical energy, since biomass is the main input used. (For further information on the Kraft Process click on the link: The main flow consists of a wood cooking process, a bleaching stage, and a final drying stage, in which the direct atmospheric emissions are mainly from the exhaust valves that emit steam. Due to the nature of the reactions occurring during these processes, there is no evidence that these emitted gases have a significant greenhouse effect. Wherever we have a significant emission of greenhouse gases or consumption of fuel, the source is mapped and its emissions accounted for in the inventory. In terms of monitoring, Fibria fulfills the requirements of each state s environmental requirements, by monitoring the wood cooking process, bleaching stage and final drying process. The table 3 below summarizes the principal gases present in pulp production. Emission Sources Reduced Sulfur Compounds Sulfur Dioxide Nitrogen Oxide Particles Cooking S NS NS NS Washing S NS NS NS Evaporation S NS NS NS Recovery Boiler S S S S Causticizing S NS NS S Lime Kiln S S S S S = significant; NS = not significant Table 2 Sources of emissions in pulp production During the recovery cycle that occurs in parallel to the main production, several auxiliary processes give off significant emissions from combustion. These processes, which provide sustainability for the main flow, recover 90% of the chemicals consumed by the pulp process. Furthermore, they produce all the steam and electricity used throughout the process, mainly from biomass. These processes may have different configurations, but their emissions are mainly from recovery boilers, power boilers and lime kilns. At the lime kilns, we also have emissions of biogenic CO2, due to the nature of the process. The amount of biogenic CO2 released is estimated based on the production of calcium oxide. The emissions from outsourced chemicals were not included in this inventory, because Fibria is gathering the data from suppliers operations. 3 Available at:

11 1 1 With regard to waste, both organic waste and effluent treatments were accounted for. The potential production of methane from industrial effluents was based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD), volume and technology involved. In aerobic conditions, CH4 emissions are insignificant; the main emissions are from sludge decomposition, which is already taken into consideration in the landfill data. Jacareí At the Jacareí mill, the process has one wood yard, one digester, two bleaching stages and two pulp drying machines. However, the utilities site is diversified, with different types of auxiliary boilers, using: fuel oil 3A, fuel oil 7A, biomass and natural gas. At the causticizing plant, methanol produced internally is used as fuel. Part of the CO2 produced in the lime kiln is diverted to a PCC plant, owned by another company. Effluent is treated by means of an activated sludge system, which is aerobic and, consequently, the greater part of the emissions occur during biomass decay. With regard to landfill disposal, only the biological sludge was calculated as an emission. Other waste, like dregs and grits, are inorganic, generating insignificant quantities of methane emissions. At the Jacareí mill, no CO2 welding is used.

12 1 2 Aracruz At the Aracruz site, the main process comprises nine wood processing lines, five bleaching lines and five pulp drying machines, organized internally as three factories: A, B and C. The recovery and utilities processes are condensed. For example, the four evaporation processes are in one box. Moreover, the data employed in the report shows consolidated values. With regard to the waste from Aracruz, the treatment is conducted through six lagoons, four of which are aerated and two have anoxic zones, with the potential to produce methane. This potential was accounted in the model, and was calculated based on the treated COD and annual flow. Unlike previous years, when the COD reduction was proportionally divided between the six lagoons, through lab analysis it was verified that most of the COD (80%) is reduced in the four previous stages. Therefore, this change is considered in these inventory calculations. Aracruz waste is disposed in a landfill. However, since there is no activated sludge treatment, the greater part of its waste is inorganic. After the correct treatment, this inorganic waste is returned to the forest, as fertilizer and ph corrector.

14 1 4 Três Lagoas Três Lagoas mill is a state-of-the-art mill, including the best technology available in the kraft process. This is reflected in lower chemical consumption and more energy efficient equipment. It was also designed to consume low carbon intensive fuels and prioritize the use of biomass to generate energy. The Três Lagoas mill is integrated with the local paper mill owned by International Paper. Nevertheless, the utilities are produced and supplied by the pulp process. Três Lagoas is a single line mill, with one power boiler and one recovery boiler, both running on biomass (bark and black liquor). The lime kiln, for the conversion of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide, runs on natural gas. Heavy fuel oils are employed only for start-up processes. Only water is employed, even for maintenance, since all the pipes are made of stainless steel. Effluents are treated by means of activated sludge, and the waste from this process, as well as from other parts of the mill, goes into a landfill.

15 1 5 Logistics Flow Layouts The final step is the shipping process, after drying. Different methods are employed to transfer pulp to the warehouses at the seaports, where it is exported worldwide. Main pulp destinations and respective distance to ports operated by Fibria in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe are shown in the Logistics Flow Layout. Emissions related to employee commuting are estimated based on itinerary, whenever diesel consumption information is not available. Fibria provides transportation for its employees at all three mills. We have also included air travel, with data supplied by the two air travelling companies on working for Fibria. Fibria has also implemented a system to manage fuel consumption by its rented fleet, making possible to assess consumption by fuel. Jacareí In Jacareí, forklifts transport the pulp bales to diesel powered trains and trucks. These trains and trucks transport the pulp to domestic clients and to the Santos seaport, where the pulp is stored. In average, each train composition has 35 carriages. The process of loading onto vessels is done by means of trucks, which transport the pulp close to the vessel, from whence cranes load the pulp bales onto diesel powered vessels. The main destinations are Europe, Asia, North America and Latin America.

16 1 6 Aracruz Aracruz is strategically located, about two kilometers from the port of PORTOCEL. The loading of pulp is done by LPG fueled forklifts. Diesel fueled trucks transport the pulp from the mill to the warehouse. From there, the pulp is shipped worldwide on diesel fueled vessels. Três Lagoas Três Lagoas production is shipped through the Santos seaport. The transportation of pulp is done mainly by rail, where a composition has in average 41 carriages. The process finishes with LPG fueled forklifts and diesel trucks, and the loading of the pulp onto the vessels, for shipment worldwide. The contributions from all emission sources and the forestry areas that sequester emissions, with their respective data gathering process, referred to in the flow layouts, are included in the Addendum tables and represent the data base for this inventory.

The account balance [sequestered (planted forest + 51% of conservation areas) minus total CO2 emissions] is 16,049,953 tones of CO2eq. Considering biomass emissions, the net reduction was 4,475,829 tones of CO2eq.

18 1 8 Direct Emissions All data used in this inventory were supplied by Fibria in the files Data Fibria.xlsm, which is presented in Addenda 2 through 5.

19 1 9 Industrial Activities Emissions from Stationary Fuel Combustion Emission calculations for combustion in stationary industrial equipment are presented in the worksheet Planilha de Cálculo Industrial Fibria 2013.xlsm on the page Direct Stationary Combustion (Refer to Addendum 4b, 10). The CH4 and N2O emissions from stationary combustion, included in the figures, were calculated on the auxiliary page Direct Aux. (Biomass) (Refer to Addendum 10). The amount of direct emissions from fuel combustion is presented on the page Summary Table (Also refer to Addendum 16). This overall total includes the outgoing CO2 to the PCC plant. (See Addendum 14).

The amount of direct emissions due to the release of methane from landfills and anaerobic wastewater treatment, totaling 50,693 tco2eq, is presented on the page Summary Table. (Also refer to Addendum 16). As mentioned before, wastewater treatment at the Aracruz mill is done by means of aerated lagoons. Nevertheless, an anoxic zone may be created in the two last stages of this treatment. Due to this fact, the anoxic zone is treated as an anaerobic process and the equation in the IPCC default methodology described in the May 2000 Good Practices document is used in this calculation. Through lab analysis, it was concluded that only about 20% of the organic matter is reduced in the last two stages. Therefore, only 20% of the total COD was considered in the calculation. CH 4 ( kg / y) OC EF B Equation 1 Where: OC = BOD or COD of the feed to the anaerobic system, in kg/year EF = emission factor, default values = 0.25 kg CH4 / kg reduced COD B = methane captured and burned, in kg CH4 /year

Calculations were made employing fuel consumption and distances. Under scope 1, covering industrial transportation systems, we have included: waste transportation, forklifts and our rented fleet. Since there is no information regarding forklifts in Santos seaport, the informed consumption for Três lagoas and Jacareí were doubled as a proxy. For air travel, total traveled distance was provided by the two travelling companies at Fibria service, Alatur and Citur. Regarding employee commuting, fuel consumption or distances was provided by two companies which supplies transportation for our employees. At Aracruz mill, fuel for this transportation is supplied by Fibria, and is already included in total fuel emissions. The end result, 6,852 tco2, is presented on the page Summary Table (Please refer to Addendum 16.) Summary Emissions from Electricity Consumption CO2 emissions from the consumption of grid electricity can be estimated by multiplying the electricity consumption by the averaged emission factor for the Interconnected Grid System, in a monthly basis. Table below sums up monthly values presented on the calculation sheets. The emission factor for 2013 was published by the Ministry of Science and Technology at It is important to note that the GRID emission factor was 47% higher than in 2012, which goes a long way to explaining the increase in the Scope 2 figures. Also, the problem with one of Jacareí s turbines, decreasing the mill s capacity to generate electricity, explains the increase on the imported electricity. Refer to Addendum 13.

21 2 1 Most of the electricity consumed by Fibria is produced on-site by using biomass and fossil fuels (to a lesser degree). At some mills, part of the electricity produced is sold to the grid and supplied to over the fence suppliers. Nevertheless, on a conservative basis, no deduction has been made.

The inventory of emissions and removals by sinks was based on the following documents: The Greenhouse Gas Protocol a Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised Edition, from the World Resources Institute, and Calculation Tools for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Mobile Combustion, Calculation Tools for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Stationary Combustion ; 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land- Use Change and Forestry, from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

22 Emissions from mobile sources In the forestry area, emissions from fossil fuels are mainly from mobile sources. The greater part of the fuel used is supplied by Fibria, and is reported in Addendum 4b. The table below summarizes the emissions from suppliers that buy their own fuel. The CO2 emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels are estimated by multiplying the reported consumption by the emission factor for the type of fuel used, as described in the table below. Fibria employs diesel with 5% Biodiesel. Since for wood rail transportation the calculation is made indirectly by the total ton.km, no biogenic calculation was made. Activities BU Type of fuel t CO2eq/yr t CO2eq/yr used (biogenic) JACAREÍ Diesel 1, SILVICULTURE TRÊS LAGOAS Diesel 3, Subtotal 5, FREIGHT ARACRUZ Diesel - Rail 2,237 ROAD CONSTRUCTION ARACRUZ Diesel 4, JACAREÍ Diesel 4, TRÊS LAGOAS Diesel 3, Subtotal 12, Total tco2eq 20, Table 5 Emissions from Scope 3 - Fossil Fuels used in the Forestry Area 2 2 Emissions from soil correction The IPCC Guidelines include the application of carbonates containing lime [such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2] on forested land as a source of CO2 emissions. The CO2 emissions are accounted for based on the total amount of lime applied throughout the year, using the equation below. C CC Lime M Limestone * EF M Limestone Dolomite * EF Dolomite Equation 2 Where: C CC Lime = annual emissions of C from the application of lime in silviculture, in tc/year. To convert tc to tco 2eq: multiply the result by 44/12. M = annual amount of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2), in tc/year EF = emission factor, tc (t of lime or dolomite) -1. The emission factor is equivalent to the carbon content of these materials (12% CaCO 3 and 13% CaMg(CO 3) 2). Fibria s reported consumption of lime in 2013 was 18,164 tons for its forestry activities (Refer to Addendum 7). Therefore, using the formula above, this consumption resulted in emissions of 8,658 tco2eq.

23 Emissions from the Application of Chemical and Organic Fertilizers 2 3 Applying nitrogen fertilizers to forestry land results in emissions of N2O, a major greenhouse gas with an estimated global warming potential 298 times higher than CO2. N2O emissions are estimated in equivalent tons of CO2 (tco2eq) using the equation below. F F F * * 44 / 28 * 298 N 2 O EF DIRECT N fert SN ON CR Equation 3 Where: N 2O DIRECT N fert nitrogen, in tco 2eq/year. F SN F ON = direct emissions of N 2O resulting from the application of fertilizers containing = amount of synthetic fertilizer used, in tn/year = amount of organic fertilizer used, in tn/year EF = emission factor for emissions resulting from the addition of N, which is dimensionless. 44/28 = conversion of N 2O-N to N 2O 298 = Global Warming Potential of N 2O, converted into tco 2eq Chemical fertilizers, including their N content, that are used in the Fibria forests are detailed in Data Fibria.xlsx. (Refer to Addendum 4a.) Organic fertilizer consumption was not provided and is not included in this inventory. It should be noted that even though the efficiency of using N is known to be lower than other fertilizers, since N tends to transform quickly into nitrate in the soil, if it is not absorbed by the plants or used by the microorganisms it could be lost through leaching or denitrification. This process can be minimized by controlling soil ph levels (loss is greater in soils with ph levels higher than 5.5) and by using techniques such as direct planting (SPD) 4. According to FINCK, as quoted by ISHERWOOD 5, the average percentage of fertilizer nutrients absorbed by the crop during the growing season is between 50 and 70% for nitrogen. According to PEOPLES et al, quoted by the same author, the relative importance of NH3 volatilization and denitrification varies considerably, depending on the agroecosystem, type of nitrogen fertilizer used, crop management and prevailing environmental conditions. Considering the practices adopted by Fibria, including planting in soil that is well aerated - not compacted - and localized fertilizing, the estimated loss of N due to denitrification would be estimated at 30%, resulting in 2,597 tco2eq of emissions from the use of nitrogen fertilizers. However, a conservative estimate of all emissions based on the amount of N used will be included in this inventory for accounting purposes. Therefore, emissions resulting from applying the abovementioned fertilizers correspond to 42,835 tco2eq. 4 GUILHERME, L.R.G. Depoimento sobre o uso de fertilizantes nitrogenados.

24 2 4 In addition to CO2 emissions associated with the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen, emissions related to the application of urea during the fertilization has to be considered. From IPCC 2006 Guidelines adding urea to soils during fertilisation leads to a loss of CO2 that was fixed in the industrial production process. Urea (CO(NH2)2) is converted into ammonium (NH4+), hydroxyl ion (OH-), and bicarbonate (HCO3-), in the presence of water and urease enzymes. This process is similar to the one occurring when lime is used for soil correction. This emission source is calculated using the following formula: CO 2 C Emission M * EF * 44 /12 Equation 4 Where: CO 2-C Emission = annual C emissions from urea application, in tonnes of C/yr -1 ; M = annual amount of urea fertilization, in tonnes urea/yr -1 ; EF = emission factor, in tonnes of C (tonnes of urea) -1. A default value of 0.20 was used, which is equivalent to the carbon content of urea on an atomic weight basis; 44/12 = factor used to convert CO 2 C emissions into CO 2 As reported by Fibria, during 2013, 14,385 tonnes of urea was used, representing 10,549 tco2eq. Emissions from electricity consumption The calculation of CO2 emissions due to electricity consumption applies the same emission factor used to calculate this emission source in industrial activities. Nevertheless, since consumption is much lower, the annual averaged emission factor is employed. Also, as in the forestry are there is no contract for energy, information is only available on monetary form. To find consumption in MWh, total expenses are divided by the average price of MWh by region, provided by aneel, the Brazilian energy agency ( The electricity consumption registered in 2013, as well as the associated CO2 emissions, is presented in the table below (Refer to Addendum 8).

25 2 5 Removal by Sinks (CO2 Sequestration) Removal of CO2 by sequestration was accounted for using the formula below. This formula accounts for the CO2 sequestration in one year by converting volume growth. For eucalyptus areas, site measuring and modeling estimations were employed to estimate volume. For conservation areas, IPCC Tier 1 biomass factors were employed (IPCC V4_04_Ch4_Forest_Land) to estimate the sequestration of these areas. This was possible due to a reclassification work, crossing referencing the IPCC and Fibria ecofloristic classifications, employing satellite imagery. In 2013, the classification in Jacareí conservation areas was reviewed, reducing uncertainty to 30% in 20% of the conservations areas. For the remain areas, we have maintained conservatively in 50%. Ongoing projects intend to improve the quality of conservation area classification, reducing uncertainty in the near future. Where: C G i, j A G i, j TOTALi, j CF C G = annual increment in the biomass stock, in tc/year = area, in ha A i, j G TOTALi, j GTOTAL GW 1 R i, j = average annual increment, in t ms/ha/year Equation 5 (IPCC V4_CH4_Annex II_eq.2.9) Equation 6(IPCC V4_CH4_Annex II_eq.2.10) CF i, j = carbon fraction of dry material, tc/t ms (0.47) G W = average annual increment of aboveground biomass, in t ms/ha/year R = root/shoot ratio, t ms of underground biomass / t ms of aboveground biomass. Based on the data provided, CO2 sequestration was estimated at 17,004,427 tco2eq for the eucalyptus plantations and 1,225,372 tco2eq for conservation areas. In order to account for areas with plantations less than half years old, one quarter of these areas were considered on the first year data, since they present around 25% of the first year s biomass (Addenda 3a, 3b, 3c, 6, 9a, 9b, 9c).

26 2 6 Graphical Analysis of the Figures Sources of Direct Emissions Chart 1 shows that direct emissions from industrial sources represent 70% of the total, followed by forestry activities, waste management and internal transportation. Chart 1 - Direct Emissions of CO 2eq Emissions by Type of Fuel at Fibria Chart 2 shows emissions by type of fuel. Compared to the total energy demand, this chart highlights the greater use of renewable fuel. Regarding Fossil fuels, natural gas is the most common one, followed by diesel, due to its use in mobile sources. Chart 2 - Emissions by Type of Fuel

27 2 7 Emissions from Industrial Area Chart 3 - Emissions from Industrial Area As expected, lime kilns are the sources of the highest emissions, since there is no substitute for fossil fuel in this area. The use of natural gas in place of fuel oil has been the option to reduce emissions. Emissions by Transportation System Marine transportation accounts for 86% of all emissions. Chart 4 - Emissions by Transportation System

28 2 8 Sources of Emissions from Forestry Activities Emissions from fuel consumption account for 67% of total emissions from Forestry activities. Chart 5 - Emissions from the Forestry Activities

29 2 9 Performance Analysis Compared to 2013, there was considerable reduction in emissions (5%), despite the reduction in the production levels (-1%). Data from 2011 and 2012 were updated to meet new GWP, from the forth IPCC assessment. For 2013, unexpected events have affected Jacareí mill. The maintenance of the gas turbine for six months have increased the consumption of electricity from the GRID, and reduced the consumption of natural gas, beyond the expected with the planned projects. Nevertheless, consumption of natural gas have increased by 7% as well as the consumption of fuel oil (6%). Most remarkable was the reduction on the consumption of diesel by the forestry area, 13%. New implementation of harvesting equipment have led to such reduction. Lower production have affected the production of black liquor; on the other hand, biomass consumption has increased by 6%. Such variations are natural to an industrial process, as operation parameters may change year on year. For instance, when the medium radium from forestry area reduces, due to closer plantations, diesel consumption reduces. Nevertheless, is not possible, despite our efforts, to continuously reduce medium radium. Other important impact is the steadily variation on the GRID s emission factor, which have increased by 47% compared to 2012 and 328% compared to 2011, the Base Year. The major contribution to our emissions is Aracruz mill, an expected result, since it has the largest nominal capacity. Regarding intensity indicators, there was a 4% decrease compared to 2012 and 2011for total emissions, and a reduction in the net sequestration, due to the review on native areas classification.

31 31 Addenda Addendum 1 Cut-Off Criterion In order to establish the boundaries of this work, a cut-off criterion was defined for the inclusion of emission sources, based on minimum consumption, as well as a reliable register. According to the IPCC, one can use 10% of the total amount as a cut-off criterion. Fibria has conservatively adopted a minimum value of 1,000 tco2eq; converted into common inputs, one can establish minimum values. Nevertheless, small emission sources with good registry control are accounted for in the inventory. Source Diesel/Gasoline Diesel stationary sources Diesel mobile sources Electricity Minimum Limit 180,000 Km/yr 180,000 liters/yr 180,000 liters/yr 2,000 MWh/yr LPG 18,000 Kg/yr Table 7 - Minimum Requirements for Inclusion Below are listed some sources which were excluded: Source LPG / Restaurant ARA Rented Fleet (unknown fuel type) Diesel / Nursery TLS Value 7,200 Kg 791,899 Km 2,776 Liters Biomass / Nursery JAC 275 tons Table 8 - Examples of Sources that do not meet the Criterion

60 60 Addendum 17 Uncertainties regarding Emissions and Removals According to the GHG Protocol Short Guidance for Calculating Measurement and Estimation Uncertainty for GHG Emissions, one element of GHG emissions data quality management involves quantitative and qualitative uncertainty analysis. Estimation uncertainty arises any time greenhouse gas emissions are quantified. Therefore all emission or removal estimates are associated with estimation uncertainty. Almost all comprehensive quantitative estimates of uncertainty for greenhouse gas inventories, due to the lack of sufficient data for a complex statistical analysis, are limited and imperfect. In other words, despite the most thorough efforts, estimates of uncertainty for greenhouse gas inventories must themselves be considered uncertain. Qualitative analysis, however, can depict the concern taken with data gathering, and also opportunities for data quality improvement. According to the IPCC, the likely causes of uncertainty in direct measurement are generally related to the measurement techniques used. In the case of indirect measurement the uncertainties are related to the activity data and the emission factor. In relation to emissions of CO2 from fossil fuel burning in industrial processes and electricity production, uncertainty of the emission factor is around 9%. Activity data accuracy from Fibria is reported as 5%, since most of it is acquired in the ERP system. Therefore, the global uncertainty is around 10% [root-sum-square technique, GHG Protocol Short Guidance for Calculating Measurement and Estimation Uncertainty for GHG Emissions]. For biomass CH4 and N2O emissions there is a higher degree of uncertainty, mostly because inherent emissions depend on process conditions, temperature and technology employed. For conservative reasons, this inventory is based on IPCC default data. Assumptions were made by comparison of lower heating value between real process and default IPCC data. Nevertheless, these emissions represent less than 5% of the total. In the forestry sector, uncertainties estimation is even harder to do, due to the lack of detailed studies. Still, in a conservative approach, IPCC default recommendations and emission factors have been used. For liming and urea application, default values consider that all carbon added to the soil is emitted as CO2. For N2O emissions from managed soils, default IPCC values were also used. Nevertheless, these emissions represent less than 7% of the total direct emissions. For CO2 sequestration, uncertainty is estimated at around 15% and is related to three factors: (i) volume estimation on forests less than two years old; (ii) shoot-to-root ratio, which was based on the literature; and (iii) volume estimation, since it is based on the average basic density calculation and forestry inventory sample data, measured on circular plots of 400 square-meters in every 10 ha.
