Tronox enters PPA for renewable energy in South Africa

Tronox has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement with NOA Group, an integrated energy utility, for ~497GWh of total contracted energy anticipated to be served by plants with capacity in excess of 200MW of renewable wind and solar power through fixed and flexible arrangements to Tronox’s mines and smelters in the Republic of South Africa. The company anticipates the project should be fully implemented by the end of 2027 and is expected to reduce Tronox’s total Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by an incremental 12% globally. Tronox aims to meet its goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This agreement is in addition to the 2022 200MW solar power agreement with SOLA Group which has been fully implemented as of April 2024 and is currently providing power to Tronox’s operations. Upon completion of the latest project, approximately 70% of Tronox’s South African electricity needs will be met by renewable energy, and in-country emissions will be reduced by 54%.
