LUKOIL: Stavrolen Plant Starts Using Solar Energy

LUKOIL continues its work to reduce controlled greenhouse gas emissions at its production facilities. The Company began supplying electricity to its Stavrolen petrochemical plant (Budennovsk, Stavropol region, Russia) from LUKOIL’s own solar power plant (SPP) located at its Volgograd refinery. About 11 million kWh are expected to be supplied annually.

The use of renewable power generation will enable Stavrolen to reduce carbon footprint of its products with expected reduction of indirect emissions by almost 5 thousand tonnes of СО2 per year.

The development of renewable power generation for own needs is an important tool of the Company’s decarbonisation program. LUKOIL plans to continue to implement such projects in accordance with its climate strategy. ​​
