INEOS Inovyn has announced that it will invest in HELIOS solar photovoltaic (PV) project that spans 30 hectares, providing renewable electricity exclusively to its site at Jemeppe-sur-Sambre, Belgium. The 90,000-panel solar farm will produce over 57,000 MWh of renewable electricity that will be utilized in the INEOS Inovyn site starting in 2024. The farm is expected to generate renewable electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of around 16,000 households in Belgium.
With an underground cable connecting the solar park to INEOS Inovyn's internal electricity grid, the site aims to reduce CO2 emissions across all its activities by more than 30% by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
By establishing a solar farm on a large scale, INEOS Inovyn hopes to lead the way in reducing CO2 emissions in the region.
