BAYTOWN, Texas—Materials maker Covestro A.G. has signed its first major renewable energy deal for its U.S. operations. The agreement between Covestro—based in Leverkusen, Germany, with U.S. headquarters in Pittsburgh—and Danish clean energy leader Orsted A/S will supply 90 megawatts of power to Covestro's production site in Baytown. The 15-year agreement secures power from the Mockingbird Solar Center in Lamar County, Texas. The deal is expected to offset more than 150 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually and will reduce Scope 2 emissions from Baytown, which is Covestro's third largest global production site.
