| Work Detail |
TotalEnergies ENEOS has accomplished the implementation of a Solar Rooftop, Carport, and Cover Way Project in collaboration with TotalEnergies Corbion, a leader in Polylactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics production and a 50/50 joint venture between TotalEnergies and Corbion since 2016.
Under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), this project, situated within the Asia Industrial Estate, has a capacity of 1,250 kWp.
Expected solar panel output is approximately 1.6 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, delivering substantial cost savings for TotalEnergies Corbion and reducing the company’s carbon footprint by 823 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to planting of approximately 12,300 trees. The integration of solar panels highlights TotalEnergies Corbion’s steadfast dedication to minimizing environmental impact and strengthening sustainability credentials. With operations at full industrial capacity, the Rayong plant exemplifies the tangible benefits of biopolymers, continually pursuing optimization to improve both efficiency and sustainability.
Olivier de Linares, Plant Director at TotalEnergies Corbion said “The installation of solar panels at our Rayong plant marks a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. We are proud to leverage renewable energy sources and innovative technologies to drive sustainable production practices while ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees. This project was made possible through a great collaboration between our shareholders: leveraging from the Corbion premises and getting access to leading Solar Panel solutions brought by TotalEnergies ENEOS.”
“One point of interest is that the project construction went well on time and with zero accidents. This was led by TotalEnergies ENEOS, who implemented their best safety standards, especially regarding work at height,” adds Olivier de Linares.
Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia added, “We are delighted to celebrate the successful implementation of the solar installation at TotalEnergies Corbion plant. This remarkable project not only incorporates solar panels on rooftops but also utilizes carports and covered walkways, effectively utilizing available spaces to seamlessly integrate solar energy into its energy mix, supporting sustainable production and consumption at TotalEnergies Corbion. As a leading solar service provider for commercial and industrial businesses, TotalEnergies ENEOS is committed to reduce the carbon footprint of power intensive and growing segment by providing cleaner and sustainer means”. |
