Henkel Adhesives Technologies India Private Limited (Henkel India) has joined forces with CleanMax to reduce absolute emissions in its operations. To accomplish this, a single user group captive solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) has been signed between Henkel India and CleanMax. The captive power project is being set up in a solar farm in Maharashtra, and will be owned and operated by CleanMax.
The new PPA will enhance solar power usage in its Kurkumbh and Thane manufacturing sites. The partnership will boost solar power utilisation resulting in additional annual carbon savings of over 4500 tonnes in the company’s Kurkumbh and Thane manufacturing sites. Henkel India will also set a Net-Zero pathway for its Scope 3 emissions, in line with the Science-based targets initiative (SBTi). Henkel India’s manufacturing processes in Chennai are entirely carbon neutral. Further, its manufacturing processes in Rudrapur have also been converted to green energy.
In September 2024, CleanMax entered into a partnership with Orkla India for the purchase and generation of solar energy from a 6.6 MWp Solar Power Plant in Jagaluru, Karnataka.
