Global chemical firm DuPont has matched 100% of its grid electricity use in Europe with renewable energy certificates purchased around European Union projects.
Dupont operates 13 manufacturing sites in the EU. The company previously announced 2030 sustainability goals which drive this REC and renewable energy project strategy.
In addition to purchasing the RECs to help finance utility-scale clean energy projects, DuPont has installed on-site solar panels at facilities.
"At DuPont, we are guided by a core value of protecting the planet, aligning our sustainability goals to meet the expectations of our customers, value chain partners and the communities in which we operate," said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer at DuPont. "Converting our European Union manufacturing sites to 100 percent renewable electricity is a significant step in our journey to further reduce our emissions, lower the carbon footprint of our products and put us on a clear path toward decarbonization in our operations by 2050."
The European renewable energy power purchase agreement market hit 19 GW in 2024, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie. DuPont has signed PPAs in Europe and the U.S.
