As part of its climate plan, Arkema has signed long term
renewable energy agreements for its sites in Calvert City
(Kentucky), Beaumont (Texas), Chatham (Virginia) and West Chester
(Pennsylvania), as well as for all Bostik sites in the United
States.
Regulatory News:
By the end of 2024, Arkema (Paris:AKE) is expected to obtain
approximately 40% of the power needed to run its operations in the
United States from renewable sources after signing deals with
energy providers Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Entergy and
3Degrees. This is a major milestone in the Group’s decarbonization
goal to reduce its Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 48.5%
by 2030 versus 2019.
TVA and Entergy are expected to supply, respectively, an
estimated 35 GWh/year and 60 GWh/year of electricity from solar
energy to Calvert City and Beaumont. 3Degrees is expected to supply
green e-certified renewable electricity certificates for the
decarbonization of approximately 57 GWh/year of electricity for the
Chatham and West Chester sites, as well as for all Bostik
facilities in the United States.
Arkema had previously signed other deals to provide renewable
energy at its sites in Clear Lake and Bayport, Texas.
"These achievements are major steps on Arkema's path towards Net
Zero," said Tony O’Donovan, President of Arkema Inc. "We will
continue to develop similar partnerships to help the Group reach
its climate plan targets.”
