Ineos Inovyn has confirmed that its 60MW solar farm in Belgium will come online in July 2024.
The project is being developed with PerPetum Energy & Green4Power and will supply power exclusively to the Jemeppe production site, which employs over 540 people.
This is part of Ineos’s strategic decarbonisation roadmap to reduce CO2emission across sites by more than 30% by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, enabling Ineos Inovyn to provide customers with low carbon products that support the transition to a Net Zero economy.
Philippe Taranti, Ineos Inovyn director at the Jemeppe site, said, “I am proud of the industry leadership we are showing. Ineos products play a vital role across modern life and this new solar farm gives us competitive access to local renewable energy.”
PerPetum Energy is responsible for the project’s build, commissioning and maintenance on behalf of Green4Power, which finances and owns the solar farm.
Under a power purchase agreement Ineos Inovyn will acquire all green electricity produced from Jemeppe-sur-Sambre over the next 15 years.
