据MRCHUB网站7月19日莫斯科报道，林德公司宣布，该公司已经在巴西签署了两项重要的可再生能源供应协议。

林德的子公司White Martins已经达成协议，每年确保超过200万兆瓦时的可再生能源，取代其在巴西近一半的现有用电量。拉丁美洲最大的光伏电站之一Futura I Solar Complex和南里奥格兰德州的Chui风电场已经开始供应。

新的协议将使林德的全球活跃可再生能源增加60%以上。更广泛地说，林德有望实现其承诺，即到2028年将低碳能源的购买量增加一倍。

这些协议支持林德2035年以科学为基础的绝对温室气体减排目标，以及2050年实现气候中和的雄心。

除了减少White Martins在巴西的排放量外，可再生能源还将帮助White Martins的客户通过使用碳足迹更低的工业气体来实现工艺脱碳。林德估计，其解决方案、技术和服务帮助其客户减少的排放量是林德所有业务产生的排放量的两倍以上。

林德南美区总裁Gilney Bastos表示，林德制定了明确的气候目标，其中包括积极增加可再生能源的使用。“这些协议不仅将降低我们自身运营的碳强度，而且还将使我们的客户受益，他们将获得碳足迹更低的工业气体”。

林德已连续20年被列入道琼斯可持续发展世界指数行列，并在气候变化和水安全方面被列入CDP的A级名单。该公司是联合国全球契约的签署方。

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.
