Nouryon today announced a long-term agreement and the successful commissioning of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at its two production facilities on Jurong Island, in Singapore.
Developed and installed by EDP Renewables APAC (EDP), this project marks the completion of Nouryon’s first power purchase agreement and onsite solar project in Singapore, representing a milestone in the Company’s global sustainability journey.
The new solar PV systems have a capacity of 250 kWp of electricity and will power Nouryon’s quaternary ammonium compound and alkoxylation production units, reducing the Company’s Scope 2 emissions. The installation follows the signing of a 14-year solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with EDP in July 2024, underscoring Nouryon’s long-term commitment to renewable energy and industrial decarbonization.
“At Nouryon, we are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions throughout our value chain as a pillar of our Carbon Business Strategy,” said Eduardo Nardinelli, Senior Vice President, South America & Global Carbon Business Strategy at Nouryon. “Today’s announcement highlights another milestone in our global effort to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to enhance our customers’ ability to achieve their sustainability goals by delivering products with a lower carbon footprint.”
Nouryon’s Carbon Business Strategy is designed with a long-term horizon, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while fostering company growth. The strategy is guided by carbon operational excellence in company operations, transitioning sites to renewable energy, fostering innovation, and collaborating across the value chain with a focus on reducing indirect GHG emissions.
“This commissioning marks a milestone for our team in Singapore and the broader region,” said Sobers Sethi, Senior Vice President, Emerging Markets and China at Nouryon. “By harnessing renewable energy, we continue to strengthen our regional presence and demonstrate our unwavering commitment to providing sustainable solutions that benefit both our customers and the environment.”
The renewable energy project in Singapore supports Nouryon’s broader climate goals to reduce its absolute Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2019. Nouryon aspires to be a net-zero organization by 2050.
