World Finds it Difficult to Meet Energy Demands by 2050
Packaging Manufacturer Collabs with Solar Projects to Enhance Cleantech in 2024
By Shubhendra Anand , 06 December, 2024
Companies are making significant moves towards the clean energy transition in various ways. In order to reduce carbon emissions, certain companies are investing in several rescue methods in 2024. Renewables production is growing over time as the demand for clean fuel and electricity rises daily. WestRock, a sustainability-promoting paper and packaging manufacturer, recently collaborated with ENGIE North America in 2024.
Cleantech is an important topic of discussion in the era of clean energy transition. It supports the growth of clean fuel and renewable energy to power the technology sector. Hence, it will help to provide less carbon emissions. Therefore, WestRock will enter virtual agreements to purchase clean power from ENGIE in 2024. The company aims to purchase solar power from two solar projects to enhance cleantech in 2024. The two North American solar projects will provide renewables into the Texas energy grid. Hence, it will power the respective packaging company afterward. These solar projects, namely, the Bernard Creek and Chillingham solar projects, will contribute to this collaboration in 2024. According to survey data, Bernard aims to contribute around 282 megawatts of renewable energy to the power grid. Experts claim that Bernard solar project anticipates adding up to 50,000 megawatts of power per year. Hence, it claims to produce USD 45 million in revenue and 250 jobs in the energy sector. Thus, large-scale solar production for clean energy generation will help reduce environmental carbon footprints.
Experts support the motion of power purchase from solar projects as it provides benefits, too. Power purchase is a long-term commitment that lasts for many years. By operating with the help of solar energy, the project will help consumers in that area light up their households. Hence, it will effectively reduce the company's greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, WestRock's plans to purchase solar power are a great initiative towards the clean energy transition.
