Going green is no longer just a trend. Largescale industries worldwide are committing renewable energies and we aren’t just talking about buying carbon offsets either. With advances in renewable technologies leading the conversion, industries that previously relied on fossil fuels to power their massive plants are making the leap of faith. A polycarbonate plant in Spain is set to become the world’s first large scale chemical production plant that will run entirely on renewable energy. The move is being made possible through an agreement with a local electric utility. Similar chemical storage solutions could also save companies thousands of dollars.
“This ground-breaking deal with Iberdrola is a significant step towards achieving our long-term sustainability and clean energy targets. Partnerships of this kind are the cornerstone of our business growth model,” said Bob Maughon, EVP Sustainability, Technology & Innovation and CTO and CSO at SABIC.

The new plant is set to deliver a 80,000 tonne annual reduction in indirect CO2 emissions. Radicalizing these sudden implementations is part of wider climate change initiative set forth by world leaders.
“These partnerships enhance the competitiveness of renewables and continue to create opportunities for the development of innovative projects that are transforming the present and the future of energy,” says Eduardo Insunza, Corporate Customer Global Director of Iberdrola.

The trickle down effect of superior steel protection and chemical storage solutions
It’s not just conjectured to assume that other large corporations will follow suit either. Once rival entities get word of the facility’s clean energy conversion, they have no choice but to follow their example or risk losing thousands of customers who might ultimately prefer a clean energy alternative. Smaller entities and ancillary industries could also harness this technology, too, out of necessity to stay in like-minded consumers’ good graces.
Avoid costly fines and penalties with fire-rated storage lockers
Inferior protection and improper chemical storage solutions can also lead to hefty fines and civil penalties. Every year, the EPA and OSHA fine industries nationwide millions of dollars for ignoring common sense and legal guided storage practices. More often than not, these flimsy and ill-conceived notions have led to serious injury or even death to mismanaged storage. Fortunately, there is a chemical storage solution to your storage woes. U.S. Hazmat Storage offers a superb line of heavy steel gauge storage protection. Depending on your exact storage needs, our multidimensional fire-rated lockers offer comprehensive protection from external elements while maintaining a cool, climate control environment that prevents fires and breakdowns in chemical consistency of products.
Innovative spill containment system prevents toxic contamination of ecosystem
And what about spills? We’ve got you covered with our chemical storage solutions. Our innovative continuous grated floor sump containment system can collect spills as they happen in real time. This allows for dangerous chemicals to be safely collected so they can be removed at your convenience. Unique shelving and compartmentalization features allow your company to store chemicals of different classification within the same locker without the possibility of interacting. Explosion proof electrical components and mechanical ventilation options are just another added layer or protection that we offer at U.S. Hazmat Storage. Upgrading to renewable and alternative energy solutions is not a cheap undertaking, so we understand the demands of modern engineering, which is why now is not the time to skimp on protection and adherence to regulations. One small errant spark or oversight in storage can render irreparable harm to our environment, forever tarnishing your reputation as a steward of the environment, further negating any concessions you have made in implementing renewing energy sources.
