Alamo Cement announced the completion of their new solar power system in San Antonio, Texas, advancing the company’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions and align itself with the cement industry’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality.
The company has made a significant investment in this renewable power project, which has the capacity to generate up to 17 800 MWh per year. The 45-acre solar panel field is estimated to generate up to 15% of the plant’s yearly power consumption while reducing emissions and electricity costs.
Full use of this renewable energy system is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 8000 tpy.
Installing the largest customer-owned solar power system contributes to lower the local demand for energy, with an estimated reduction of their use by 7.5 MW by the end of 2023.
Alamo took this important step to improve its sustainability performance, and both Alamo Cement and Buzzi Unicem USA continue their present and long-term plans to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.
