Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--LyondellBasell Industries NV (NYSE:LYB) (Rotterdam, Netherlands) has signed its first two power purchase agreements (PPA) in the U.S., for a combined 216 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy, in support of the company's net-zero efforts. The power would be sourced from a wind project from the U.S. subsidiary of Engie S.A. (Paris, France), and a solar project from Buckeye Partners LP (Houston, Texas). Both projects are in Texas.

The multinational plastics, chemicals and refining company seeks to utilize a minimum of 50% renewable electricity by 2030, and is "focused on delivering on our climate goal to achieve net zero emissions from our global operations," said LyondellBasell Chief Executive Officer Peter Vanacker, in a related press release. "Renewable energy is an important component for how we will get there, and power purchase agreements are our preferred approach to decarbonizing our electricity supply. These strategic projects propel us forward in greenhouse gas emissions reduction, but they also provide scalability and support investment in new renewable energy capability."
LyondellBasell expects about $2.1 billion in 2022 capital expenditures, including $1.2 billion in sustaining capex, which is up just slightly from 2021.
