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.
喬治亞州克林奇菲爾德，2024年5月14日 /PRNewswire/ — Cemex宣佈，其美國業務已爲其克林奇菲爾德水泥廠簽訂了場外可再生能源協議，該協議將在其全公司的脫碳工作中發揮作用。
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.
通過與佐治亞電力公司的這項長期協議，克林奇菲爾德水泥廠將從2025年開始確保全州約25％的電力需求來自太陽能設施。該協議支持Cemex的 “未來在行動” 計劃，該計劃側重於通過氣候行動、循環和自然資源管理實現可持續的卓越表現，其主要目標是到2050年成爲淨零二氧化碳公司。
"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美國水泥運營與技術高級副總裁埃內斯托·費利克斯表示：“採用太陽能不僅可以加快我們自己雄心勃勃的可持續發展目標，而且爲整個行業樹立了有力的榜樣。“通過喬治亞電力公司整合可再生能源解決方案，Cemex爲子孫後代建設更環保、更具彈性的未來鋪平了道路。”
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預計，克林奇菲爾德水泥廠使用太陽能發電每年將抵消約1萬公噸的間接二氧化碳排放，從而加快Cemex的2030年Scope 2目標，即在2020年的基準基礎上將水泥生產中的間接電力溫室氣體排放量減少58％。2023年期間，與2020年的基準相比，Cemex的範圍2特定排放量減少了12％。Cemex是水泥行業首批通過符合1.5°C情景的科學目標倡議（SBTi）驗證其2030年範圍1、2和3的目標以及2050年二氧化碳淨零排放目標的公司之一。
