據MRCHUB網站7月19日莫斯科報道，林德公司宣布，該公司已經在巴西簽署了兩項重要的可再生能源供應協議。

林德的子公司White Martins已經達成協議，每年確保超過200萬兆瓦時的可再生能源，取代其在巴西近一半的現有用電量。拉丁美洲最大的光伏電站之一Futura I Solar Complex和南里奧格蘭德州的Chui風電場已經開始供應。

新的協議將使林德的全球活躍可再生能源增加60%以上。更廣泛地說，林德有望實現其承諾，即到2028年將低碳能源的購買量增加一倍。

這些協議支持林德2035年以科學為基礎的絕對溫室氣體減排目標，以及2050年實現氣候中和的雄心。

除了減少White Martins在巴西的排放量外，可再生能源還將幫助White Martins的客戶通過使用碳足跡更低的工業氣體來實現工藝脫碳。林德估計，其解決方案、技術和服務幫助其客戶減少的排放量是林德所有業務產生的排放量的兩倍以上。

林德南美區總裁Gilney Bastos表示，林德制定了明確的氣候目標，其中包括積極增加可再生能源的使用?！斑@些協議不僅將降低我們自身運營的碳強度，而且還將使我們的客戶受益，他們將獲得碳足跡更低的工業氣體”。

林德已連續20年被列入道瓊斯可持續發展世界指數行列，并在氣候變化和水安全方面被列入CDP的A級名單。該公司是聯合國全球契約的簽署方。

Linde signs renewable energy agreement in Brazil

Linde announced it has signed two major agreements in Brazil for the supply of renewable energy, said the company.

White Martins, Linde’s subsidiary, has entered into agreements to secure more than two million megawatt hours per year of renewable energy, replacing almost half of its existing power usage in Brazil. Supply has already commenced from the Futura I Solar Complex, one of the largest photovoltaic parks in Latin America, and the Chui Wind Farm, in Rio Grande do Sul.

The new agreements will increase Linde’s global active renewable energy by more than 60%. More broadly, Linde is on track to meet its commitment to double the purchase of low carbon energy by 2028. 

The agreements support Linde’s science-based absolute greenhouse gas reduction target for 2035 and its 2050 climate neutrality ambition.

In addition to reducing White Martins’ emissions in Brazil, the renewable energy will help White Martins’ customers to decarbonize their processes by using industrial gases with a lower carbon footprint. Linde estimates that its solutions, technologies and services help its customers to avoid more than two times the emissions generated by all of Linde’s own operations.

“Linde has clear climate targets which include a commitment to actively increase our use of renewable energy,” said Gilney Bastos, President South Latin America, Linde. “Not only will these agreements reduce the carbon intensity of our own operations, but they also benefit our customers who will receive industrial gases with a lower carbon footprint.”

Linde has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 20 consecutive years and has been named to CDP’s A List for both climate change and water security. The company is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact.
