This factory will run on 100% renewable energy! [Copy link]

The cleanest factory!

Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has signed a major agreement to transform its polycarbonate plant in Cartagena, Spain, into the world’s first large-scale chemical production base to run entirely on renewable energy.

Based on the agreement, Iberdrola, one of the world's largest power companies, will invest nearly 70 million euros to build a 100 MW solar photovoltaic power plant on land owned by SABIC. When the plant, equipped with 263,000 panels, is fully operational in 2024, it will become Europe's largest renewable energy power generation facility for industrial use.

The cooperation agreement will last for 25 years. SABIC plans to deploy 4 GW of wind or solar power generation facilities for its global factories by 2025, and increase this number to 12 GW by 2030. It is reported that the photovoltaic power station will indirectly reduce 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

After the Cartagena Solar PV Plant is put into operation, SABIC's customers, especially those in the automotive and construction industries, will have access to polycarbonate products and solutions produced 100% from renewable energy. In today's world that is constantly pursuing low-carbon and environmental protection, SABIC will also be able to more effectively meet the urgent needs of customers and consumers for more sustainable solutions.

I always feel that as long as it involves industry and manufacturing, complete environmental protection is an impossible target to achieve.

Is it true that there are factories that will use 100% renewable energy?

This is what the press release says. There may be more reports once the project is completed.
