TIMAC AGRO’s Efforts in Reducing Energy Consumption with Solar Panels
At TIMAC AGRO, the consumption of electricity represents a significant portion of our carbon footprint. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are implementing concrete solutions to reduce our environmental impact, and one of the most effective approaches is the installation of solar panels. This initiative not only decreases our dependence on fossil fuels but also aligns with our ambitious target to reduce CO2 emissions by 15% by 2030 across scopes 1 and 2.
Solar Farm in Charleroi
In 2024, TIMAC AGRO installed a solar farm with a capacity of 1 MWc in Charleroi, Belgium. The system, comprising more than 1,800 solar panels over an area of 4,000 m², can produce 10% of the site’s annual electricity consumption. Thanks to this renewable energy production, we will save 170 tons of CO2 equivalent each year.
Solar Installation in Limerick
At our Grassland AGRO industrial site in Limerick, Ireland, we began the year 2023 with the installation of rooftop solar panels with a capacity of 190 kWc. This investment allows the site to produce a portion of the electricity it consumes. Today, the Limerick site generates 40% of its energy needs through solar power.
Ongoing Projects for a Sustainable Future
TIMAC AGRO is committed to advancing even more solar energy projects across our industrial sites. These initiatives are part of our broader strategy to continually integrate renewable energy into our operations and contributing to a more sustainable future.
