Share this article

Renewable electricity is becoming increasingly accessible for companies striving to meet their sustainability goals. They can either generate it themselves or procure it from third-party providers. There are seven options a chemical company can use to obtain renewable electricity, such as owned on-site generation, owned off-site generation, on-site Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) / operating leases, traditional PPA, synthetic PPA, utility products / green tariffs, and unbundled Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Each of these options is unique and is designed to meet the varying needs of companies.
