Cemex Adopts Solar Power Consumption at Clinchfield Cement Plant, Pioneering Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
CLINCHFIELD, Ga., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cemex announced its U.S. operations have entered into an off-site renewable energy agreement for its Clinchfield Cement Plant that will play a role in its company-wide decarbonization efforts.
乔治亚州克林奇菲尔德，2024年5月14日 /PRNewswire/ — Cemex宣布，其美国业务已为其克林奇菲尔德水泥厂签订了场外可再生能源协议，该协议将在其全公司的脱碳工作中发挥作用。
Through this long-term agreement with Georgia Power, the Clinchfield Cement Plant will secure approximately 25 percent of its power requirements from solar facilities throughout the state beginning in 2025. This agreement supports Cemex's Future in Action program, which focuses on achieving sustainable excellence through climate action, circularity, and natural resource management with the primary objective of becoming a net-zero CO2 company by 2050.
通过与佐治亚电力公司的这项长期协议，克林奇菲尔德水泥厂将从2025年开始确保全州约25％的电力需求来自太阳能设施。该协议支持Cemex的 “未来在行动” 计划，该计划侧重于通过气候行动、循环和自然资源管理实现可持续的卓越表现，其主要目标是到2050年成为净零二氧化碳公司。
"Embracing solar power not only accelerates our own aggressive sustainability goals but also sets a powerful example for the entire industry," said Ernesto Felix, Cemex US Sr. Vice President, Cement Operations and Technical. "By integrating renewable energy solutions through Georgia Power, Cemex paves the way for a greener, more resilient future for generations to come."
Cemex美国水泥运营与技术高级副总裁埃内斯托·费利克斯表示：“采用太阳能不仅可以加快我们自己雄心勃勃的可持续发展目标，而且为整个行业树立了有力的榜样。“通过乔治亚电力公司整合可再生能源解决方案，Cemex为子孙后代建设更环保、更具弹性的未来铺平了道路。”
Cemex expects the use of solar generated power at the Clinchfield Cement Plant to offset about 10,000 metric tons of indirect CO2 emissions per year, accelerating Cemex's 2030 Scope 2 goal of reducing indirect electricity GHG emissions in cement operations by 58% from a 2020 baseline. During 2023, Cemex achieved a 12% reduction in its Scope 2 specific emissions compared to a 2020 baseline. Cemex is among the first companies in the cement industry to achieve validation of their 2030 targets across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and their 2050 net zero CO2 emissions goal by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned to the 1.5°C Scenario.
Cemex预计，克林奇菲尔德水泥厂使用太阳能发电每年将抵消约1万公吨的间接二氧化碳排放，从而加快Cemex的2030年Scope 2目标，即在2020年的基准基础上将水泥生产中的间接电力温室气体排放量减少58％。2023年期间，与2020年的基准相比，Cemex的范围2特定排放量减少了12％。Cemex是水泥行业首批通过符合1.5°C情景的科学目标倡议（SBTi）验证其2030年范围1、2和3的目标以及2050年二氧化碳净零排放目标的公司之一。
