Tronox boosts decarbonisation with 200-MW S African renewables deal

• Tronox secures 200 MW of wind and solar energy with NOA Group Ltd, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. Major step towards decarbonisation goals.

Tronox Holdings plc has secured a power purchase agreement with South African energy company NOA Group Ltd for over 200 MW of wind and solar energy to support its decarbonisation goals. The agreement will provide Tronox with approximately 497 GWh of green electricity from wind and solar parks expected to be commissioned by the end of 2027. This move is part of Tronox's efforts to lower its greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

With this new deal, Tronox expects to reduce its global Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared to its 2019 baseline. The company had previously signed a PPA with Sola Group for 200 MW of solar energy, and once the new wind and solar capacity is operational, 70% of Tronox's South African electricity needs will be met by renewable sources. Tronox's chief sustainability officer Jennifer Guenther highlighted the significant progress made towards decarbonisation through these agreements.
