Tronox Announces Second Significant Renewable Energy Project in South Africa
Tronox Holdings plc, the world’s leading integrated manufacturer of titanium dioxide pigment, announced that it has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement with NOA Group, an integrated energy utility, for ~497GWh of total contracted energy anticipated to be served by plants with capacity in excess of 200MW of renewable wind and solar power through fixed and flexible arrangements to Tronox’s mines and smelters in the Republic of South Africa. The Company anticipates the project should be fully implemented by the end of 2027 and is expected to reduce Tronox’s total Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by an incremental 12% globally. “NOA is extremely excited to partner with Tronox in delivering on their long term decarbonization strategy through an innovative product which blends both wind and solar generation to optimize renewable energy penetration,” remarked NOA’s Chief Executive Officer, Karel Cornelissen.
