Engie has designed a tailor-made solution for the energy-intensive company using its large portfolio of carbon-neutral products, noted Olivier Bloeyaert, executive committee member of Engie’s global entity “Global Energy Management and Sales.”
O-I chief sustainability officer Randy Burns said the agreement supports the company’s goal of reducing its global greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030 and its efforts to increase its global renewable electricity usage to between 30% and 35% this year.
This is the latest deal between the companies. Engine supplies natural gas and electricity to O-I in several European countries along with energy efficiency services for its factories in France. It also supplies electricity to O-I in Mexico and Peru. In the US, the utility provides 25% of O-I’s electricity consumption with renewable electricity.
