Green Electricity – what does it have to do with me?

The chemical industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. Our goal is to halve our carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030. Energy also plays an important role in achieving this goal. 

Christian Essers, Energy Purchasing, and Robert Baumann, Corporate Sustainability, answer questions on what green electricity means and why it is important for our company.

We are always committed to improve our quality management systems, continuously taking them to the next level. The successful certification of our semi-grade polysilicon production in Burghausen and Charleston once again is proof of this. 

Both facilities passed the IATF audit and are now certified to the important automotive standard IATF 16949. This underscores our position as a world-leading supplier of ultrapure polysilicon for semiconductor applications in the electronics and automotive industries. 

Our quality management staff in Burghausen and in Charleston did an excellent job in preparing and conducting the audits. A remarkable achievement! Congratulations!

Hyperpure polysilicon is the most important raw material for photovoltaics – and we are the only company in Europe to produce it. With a purity of 99.9999999999% (also referred to as 12N purity), our polysilicon complies with the highest quality reqirements and contributes significantly to the further breakthrough of solar energy. 

Our polysilicon is just one of many products in our portfolio that contribute to the success of the climate and energy transition.

In Germany, the transition to renewable energy resources is well under way. By 2030, the share of renewable energies is to account for 80% of the total amount; the target for 2045 is climate neutrality. 

We strongly support these targets and are making great efforts to comply with them: by 2030, we aim to halve our greenhouse gas emissions and reduce our energy consumption by 15%. And what’s just as important: our products already play an important role in the energy transition.

Sustainably manufactured containers comprising 30% recycled materials have been in use at WACKER SILICONES’ Burghausen site since the beginning of the year. 

By switching to transport tanks made from recycled plastic, the division will save over 250 tons of CO2 per year. 

Such intermediate bulk containers (IBC) are also used by WACKER POLYMERS.
