HOUSTON - May 22, 2025 - Yokogawa Corporation of America has taken a major step forward in its sustainability strategy with the launch of a long-term renewable energy initiative. The company has entered into a five-year agreement to purchase Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), effectively offsetting 100% of its electricity consumption in North America. The contract, which commenced on April 1, 2025, and runs through March 31, 2030, will offset approximately 6,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity usage per year—the equivalent of Yokogawa’s total annual energy consumption across its North American operations. By sourcing Green-e certified RECs, Yokogawa ensures that its energy use is matched with electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar.
This move underscores the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility and aligns with broader corporate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. “Our renewable energy purchase is a critical part of our sustainability roadmap,” said Bhavin Patel, executive vice president, North America operations. “This initiative not only reduces our environmental impact but also supports the growth of clean energy infrastructure across the continent.” This REC initiative is one of several sustainability measures Yokogawa is implementing to meet its long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
