The lumber industry is also a significant part of the raw material sector, though much less developed than mining. Around 21% of Casilló y Réal has forests, with 14% of that area again being zoned for lumber. Agroforestry and arboriculture contribute about 0.87% to GDP and produce between 450 thousand and 900 thousand planks and logs per year, depending on harvestable product. Cedar is the most popular hardwood for harvest followed by teak and elm. It is practice for farms growing olive trees to sell the rights to their dead trees to lumber firms.

Casilló y Réal produces the majority of its energy (31.5%, or around 58,000 GWh,) from power sources that are generally renewable or else non-damaging to the environment. These include massive Kuthern-built solar farms, wind turbines on land and offshore, noninvasive hydroelectric power, and some amounts of geothermal. While not the largest producer of electricity in Novaris, the nation regularly exceeds its grid demand and can sell the excess to other nations. A further 28% of energy produced is from biomass energy plants, while 20% is generated by coal plants and 14% by natural gas. The final 7% is made up of various other methods including nuclear and petroleum.
The renewable energy industry in Casilló y Réal is marked high for its scale and advancement. While importing material and labor, the infrastructure itself is mostly of Corric design. A number of patents on advanced wind and solar energy generation methods originate from Corric inventors. Many cities and towns use miniaturized wind and water turbines and solar panels to power local infrastructure. Government grants and programs have enabled the green energy capabilities of Casilló y Réal to grow 700% since 2000. The industry itself employs over 94,000 people and contributes 6.3% to GDP.
