Electricity
At Lhoist, we are deeply committed to the energy transition and reducing our carbon footprint. To this end, we have implemented several initiatives to source renewable electricity, and even produce more electricity through strategic partnerships.
KPI TARGET 2030
60% own and contracted renewable electricity share.
Renewable electricity usage and production
Buying electricity from renewable sources – or generating our own renewable electricity – is a high priority of our sustainability journey. This transition to low-carbon energy allows us to minimize our environmental impact. In that respect, we collaborate with like-minded individuals, innovating in renewable energy projects like photovoltaic, and wind.
In addition to purchasing renewable electricity, we are actively developing or participating in renewable energy production projects:
-
Photovoltaic: we have installed solar panels at several of our production sites. These installations enable us to generate a portion of our electricity on-site, reducing our external energy consumption.
-
Wind: we have partnered with wind farms, allowing us to actively participate in wind energy production and consumption. These collaborations reinforce our commitment to renewable energy sources and support the development of wind infrastructure.
We believe in the power of collaboration to accelerate the energy transition. That is why we work with industrial partners and research institutions to develop innovative and sustainable solutions. These partnerships enable the production and consumption of renewable electricity and contribute to technological advancements in the renewable energy sector.
