Debswana, BPC join hands for renewable energy

Debswana intends to reach carbon neutrality at its operations by 2030 and the adoption of renewable energy forms a major component of this effort. The diamond group presently consumes 410MW of electricity and is engaged in various efforts to convert this to renewable sources.

Officials explained that the agreement establishes a framework to harness renewable energy attributes from solar power stations, creating a platform to drive industrial decarbonisation. These attributes are quantified through Renewable Energy Certificates, a globally recognised mechanism that allows companies to transparently demonstrate renewable energy use and reduce their carbon footprint.
