DuPont announced that its U.S.-based healthcare manufacturing operations are now powered by 100% renewable electricity through the purchase of additional Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The shift, supported by U.S.-sourced renewable generation and totaling about 30,000 MWh, advances DuPont’s 2035 Sustainability Goals and its ambition to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Do you think relying on RECs is enough for decarbonizing healthcare manufacturing, or should companies prioritize on-site generation and long-term PPAs to ensure additionality?

RECs clean up Scope 2 accounting; well, there’s your problem, they don’t touch process steam, WFI/SIP loads, or time-matching. Any plans for hourly PPAs, boiler electrification/heat recovery, and curtailment interlocks on compressors and chilled water so grid events don’t become production events?
