Holcim Algeria is installing solar panels at its production site.
Holcim Algeria announced on Monday the installation of solar panels at its kraft paper bag production site located in Bordj Bou Arreridj.
"Holcim Algeria, a national leader in innovative and sustainable construction solutions, takes a decisive step towards environmentally friendly production by announcing the installation of solar panels at its kraft paper bag production site," the company said in a statement, emphasizing that "this bold initiative, integral to the Holcim Group's 2025 strategy, illustrates the company's steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability."
"This project is part of Holcim Algeria's HSEIP (Health, Safety, Environment, Innovation, Performance) objective aimed at achieving zero CO2 emissions. By opting for decarbonized electricity and improving energy efficiency in line with the national Solar Revolution, "the same source specifies.
The installation of a solar canopy covering an area of 1,400 m², strategically positioned in the parking lot, enables the factory to cover 50% of its energy needs through solar energy, thereby reducing its CO2 emissions by 50%, equivalent to a significant reduction of 240 tons per year, the statement details.
"With a substantial investment of 51 million Algerian Dinars, Holcim Algeria reaffirms its commitment to energy transition by equipping its industrial facilities with a renewable energy source," the same source indicates.
"The production site, located in Bordj Bou Arreridj, is now equipped with 552 state-of-the-art photovoltaic panels, providing 100% of its electricity needs during the day," the company notes, adding: "This transition will be followed by a gradual electrification of handling and transport equipment, thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of the company."
"In alignment with national objectives regarding energy conservation, every step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions strengthens the national economy by freeing up additional resources for export," explains Holcim Algeria.
"Holcim Algeria is proud to engage in concrete actions to reduce its environmental footprint, while serving as a model for the cement industry. This initiative embodies the spirit of innovation and Holcim Algeria's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability," concludes the statement.
