Under the 10-year agreement, INEOS has purchased 84 MW of renewable electricity from the Norther offshore wind farm in the Belgian North Sea from Jan. 1, 2021.
The company is expected to use the renewable energy at its existing production sites and later by Project ONE, its investment in two chemical plants for the production of ethylene and propylene in Antwerp.
