Huber Engineered Materials Completes Solar Array at Plant in Illinois
ATLANTA — J.M. Huber Corp. and SolAmerica Energy recently announced the completion of a 1.8 megawatt (DC), ground-mounted solar array located at the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) Fire Retardant Additives Marblehead facility in Quincy, Illinois. The plant is now receiving more than 60% of its power from the array during daylight hours. This effort is part of the state-administered Illinois Shines incentive program supporting the development of new solar energy generation throughout the state.
“Constructing the solar array supports Huber’s enterprise-wide goal of reducing energy and water use intensity and CO2emissions by 10% by 2022,” said Huber’s Executive Vice President of Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability Don Young. “We are extremely proud of the entire team at the Marblehead facility for their commitment and hard work on this project.”
