Brenntag opened its largest solar park in Latin America at its site in Querétaro, Mexico and reports that it is one of the 10 largest globally, generating a total of 393 MWh/a with 441 solar panels that produce 565 watts per panel.
According to the company, this initiative will reduce CO2 emission by approximately 167 tons, which is equivalent to the reforestation of around 2,750 trees, and will be sufficient to cover the site’s own energy demand. It also marks an important milestone in the company’s path towards its goal of 100% energy consumption from renewable sources by 2025.
“Investments in renewable energies at our sites such as this one in Mexico are a proof point for our commitment to sustainability and clean energy,” said Christian Kohlpaintner, CEO Brenntag SE. “With this project, we are moving firmly towards our vision of Future Sustainable Brenntag and our emission saving target. Congratulations to the Mexican and Latin American team for realizing this future-oriented, sustainable project.”
