Infinis and Breedon have partnered through a 15-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) that will see Infinis supply 5MW of 24/7 renewable electricity from its landfill gas portfolio.
The agreement supports Breedon's wider renewable electricity procurement strategy and demonstrates how reliable renewable power can help decarbonise production of the essential building materials for UK homes, roads and infrastructure.
The partnership also highlights the important role Infinis' landfill gas portfolio plays in the UK's energy transition. By capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere and converting it into reliable, firm renewable electricity, Infinis reduces greenhouse gas emissions whilst providing energy consumers with low-carbon power that can also help meet real-time matched Scope 2 objectives from identified sources of renewable electricity.
James Milne, Chief Commercial Officer at Infinis, said: "This agreement demonstrates what Infinis can offer businesses with ambitious energy and sustainability goals. Our landfill gas portfolio provides reliable, truly green electricity by capturing methane and converting it into dispatchable renewable power, helping sophisticated energy buyers progress towards 24/7 renewable electricity procurement and fulfil ambitious Scope 2 objectives.
"We're proud to be supporting Breedon as part of its wider renewable electricity strategy. This partnership shows how practical, commercially grounded agreements between UK renewable generators and British industry can accelerate decarbonisation while making productive use of a legacy environmental challenge."
Donna Hunt, Group Sustainability Director, Breedon, said: "This agreement is another important step in our wider renewable electricity procurement strategy. Alongside other renewable power arrangements secured this year, it demonstrates how a diversified mix of reliable renewable energy can help decarbonise the production of the essential construction materials used to build UK homes, businesses and infrastructure, while strengthening the resilience of our long-term energy supply."
