China Three Gorges Corp (CTG) has unveiled a pioneering 45-MW solar photovoltaic (PV) installation project situated atop poultry farms in Guangze County, Fujian province. The project replaces traditional panels with 11 distributed solar power systems, which will yield 45 million kWh of electricity, slashing CO2 emissions by a colossal 37,900 tonnes. Concurrently, a historic Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with French firm, Air Liquide, will source renewable electricity from CTG's solar and wind farms, underpinning Air Liquide's carbon reduction strategy.
These solar arrays will not only energize the farms and nearby homes but also provide the grid with excess electrical output. CTG, one of China's leading producers and retailers of renewable electricity, is proud to deliver an initiative that champions renewable energy.
Meanwhile, Air Liquide, a French gas manufacturer, has signed a noteworthy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with China Three Gorges Renewables and China Three Gorges Corporation Jiangsu Branch. These are subsidiaries of China Three Gorges. For the first time in the Jiangsu province in China, Air Liquide will receive renewable electricity from solar and wind farms.
This green electricity will be used to produce industrial and medical gases and will contribute to the carbon reduction strategy of Air Liquide. The PPA will be effective from January 2024 and will also allow the company to provide customers with carbon-neutral gas with a low carbon footprint while also maintaining competitive prices. This aligns with Air Liquide's strategic plan, ADVANCE, which merges financial and extra-financial performance.
Francois Abrial, a member of the Executive Committee supervising Asia Pacific for Air Liquide Group, stated that the agreement represents a significant step in decarbonizing the group's activities towards carbon neutrality. It will allow them to lower their carbon footprint and meet their customers' growing demand for competitive low-carbon solutions.
In summary, this PPA will have a positive impact not only on the environment but also on Air Liquide's operations and customers.
