AGC Glass Europe Purchases Electricity From 14 Luminus Wind Turbines
Glass producer AGC Glass Europe has signed an electricity purchase agreement with Luminus for the supply of 67GWh of green electricity. This will help the company to make its existing production processes in Belgium even more sustainable. The contract extends the long-term cooperation between the two companies. Luminus has already erected a wind turbine at AGC's site in Seneffe, and the two companies also intend to build a wind turbine at AGC's sites in Mol and Zeebrugge.
The recently concluded Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) covers the entire production of fourteen Luminus wind turbines in Ciney and Dinant. It will make a significant contribution to AGC Glass Europe's roadmap towards carbon neutrality. Thanks to the renewable electricity that will be purchased under the CPPA with Luminus, CO2 emissions at its Belgian sites will be reduced by approximately 13,000 tonnes per year.
Davide Cappellino, President of AGC Architectural Glass Europe and Americas: "We are taking another big step towards climate neutrality. Together with our partner Luminus, we are taking a holistic approach to using as much renewable electricity as possible, as part of AGC's roadmap to low carbon glass production.”
Grégoire Dallemagne, CEO of Luminus: "We are seeing a growing demand from energy-intensive companies in our country to cover their electricity consumption with renewable energy sources. By doing so, they reduce their energy bill and their ecological footprint while strengthening their competitiveness. AGC Glass Europe has long understood this. I would therefore like to thank them warmly for their long-standing collaboration and trust. Together we will build a CO2-neutral energy future."
