Certifications were awarded by utility company Enel Generacion Chile to the Cardonal process plants in the southern city of Puerto Montt, after the deployment of renewable energy at the sites cut the company's greenhouse gas emissions by around 6,000 tonnes of CO2, which corresponds to 8 percent of the company's total.

Mainly used to serve export markets, between them plants processed 71,500 metric tons of salmon products in 2018.
