W. L. Gore & Associates Advances Its Emissions Reduction Efforts with Constellation's Hourly Carbon-Free Energy Matching Offering
Gore enhances the reliability of its carbon-free energy portfolio by leveraging Constellation energy products.
Constellation (NASDAQ:CEG) today announced an agreement with W. L. Gore & Associates to incorporate hourly carbon-free energy matching into a prior agreement to procure approximately 110,000 megawatt hours of clean energy per year, with an estimated carbon footprint reduction of 33,000 metric tons through November 2026.
The deal is a natural evolution of last year's renewable energy agreement. The addition of hourly carbon-free energy matching – made possible by the nation's largest zero-emissions, always-on nuclear fleet, which Constellation operates around the clock – complements the existing solar offtake and ensures Gore's carbon-free energy supply is as consistent as it is clean. As part of this enhanced energy portfolio, Gore also maintains its commitment to achieve 100% renewable electricity for manufacturing operations by purchasing additional renewable energy certificates from Constellation.
"We were pleased to be able to find the best solutions to ensure a clean and emissions-free way for W. L. Gore & Associates to achieve its sustainability goals," said Jim McHugh, Chief Commercial Officer, Constellation. "By taking advantage of our hourly carbon-free energy matching product, which is enabled by our always-on nuclear fleet, plus maintaining commitments to 100% clean energy supply, Gore continues to be a leader in carbon reduction."
The use of clean and renewable energy is a critical element of Gore's long-term carbon reduction strategy. Gore has established carbon reduction objectives and is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 (Scope 1 and 2 emissions).
"Gore's focus on reducing energy use and lowering our carbon footprint underscores the company's commitment to carbon reduction and responsible innovation," stated Ryan Kelley, carbon reduction project champion for W. L. Gore & Associates. "Through our enhanced relationship with Constellation and use of clean and renewable energy, we are accelerating our progress to reduce scope 2 emissions. Thanks to 24/7 monitoring, we can verify at any time of day that our energy is coming from carbon-free sources – not fossil fuel sources – helping to deliver reliable results."
