Freeport-BASF and X-ELIO have entered into a power purchase agreement for the supply of solar power to BASF's Verbund site in Free-port, Texas. Under the 12-year deal, X-ELIO will supply 48 megawatts of solar power to the site from its Liberty Solar Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Plant being built in Houston, Texas. Operations are planned to begin by 2024. The solar power supply will further reduce carbon emissions at BASF's site and offset more than 82,000 t/y of carbon dioxide emissions, based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, BASF noted.
