At elZinc we are committed to an industrial model with low CO2 emissions, in line with the company’s policy of drastically reducing its carbon footprint. In the coming weeks we will install 8500 solar panels on the roofs of our facilities in Pola de Lena, which will allow us to harness 100% of the renewable energy generated by the panels.

 

A commitment to renewable energy.

Thanks to the installation of this photovoltaic electricity production equipment for our self-consumption, we will have an installed annual production of 3768 MWh which will allow us to:

• replace 21% of the traditional energy used to power the factory by renewable energy
• reduce our CO2 emissions by 942 t/year.

 

elZinc: An environmental commitment

The development of this solar project is part of the low environmental impact policy that the company has been developing through other actions, such as obtaining ISO 50001 certification for Energy Efficiency or the installation of technologies which allow the most efficient use of raw materials and energy.
