TGC-1 to supply “green” energy for Shchekinoazot Chemical Company
Shchekinoazot Chemical Company has acquired 5,000 “green” certificates from TGC-1 PJSC, which confirm the origin of energy from renewable sources. The transaction took place on the Sber blockchain platform.
The electricity produced at the hydroelectric power plants of TGC-1 PJSC allows companies to switch to the decarbonization of production, meet modern ESG standards and minimize the risk of paying a carbon fee when exporting products to Europe.
Earlier, TGC-1 PJSC concluded free contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity with Siburenergomanagement, Phosagro and the brewing company AB InBev Efes, and also conducted the largest transaction for the issue of “green” certificates of the I-REC international standard to PJSC Polyus.
