A step forward in green energy

 

Un paso adelante en la energía verde

 

Teknia reinforces its commitment to renewable energy with the new solar panels installation at three production plants. The installations, which have been carried out in Pedrola, Santander and Ampuero, are part of Teknia’s responsible self-consumption project, which guarantees 69% of electricity from renewable sources for these plants.

This project joins the energy contracts with Guarantees of Renewable Origin (GdO) that the company already has with Endesa and Engie. Both actions bring Teknia closer to its CO2 emission reduction targets, which include guaranteeing renewable energy consumption in at least 50% of its plants by 2025.

Forthcoming installations

Along with the factories in Pedrola, Santander and Ampuero, the next plants to install panels will be those in Elorrio, Oradea and Tangiers, achieving a 12% saving in electricity consumption from the grid in these facilities.

Teknia and the fight against climate change: decarbonisation roadmap

For more than a decade, Teknia has been involved in the fight against climate change through diverse actions, including the accurate measurement of its CO2 emissions. To this end, the company has developed a Decarbonisation Plan that aims to reduce the ratio of CO2 emissions per production value by 14% over the next two years. In 2023 we have already reduced the kgCO2/VoP ratio by 17.6% compared to 2022.

“We continue to make progress on the path towards carbon neutrality through this and other initiatives, such as improving energy efficiency, which has also enabled us to save more than €3 million since 2014.”
