Energy in Schools, started in 2012. At that time, the concept of sustainability was not so widely used in Romania, and CSR projects often focused only on social issues. The program aims to improve the educational infrastructure by changing the entire lighting system with an LED one, very close in quality to the natural light. Beyond the fact that these newly installed lighting systems provide about 98% of natural light, they have a much longer durability over time, are much more efficient in terms of energy consumption and with significantly less impact on the environment than in the case of the classic light bulbs. So far, E.ON România invested about 3.8 million euros in this program in the 71 schools in their area of activity, with over 43,000 direct beneficiaries. And most importantly, such an investment, in addition to reducing energy consumption, will bring an annual reduction in CO2 emissions by 600 tons compared to the old lighting systems.

The DDBRA evaluations – the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Administration – talk about 1533 tons of plastic transported annually on the Danube, the river that collects almost everything that flows through our country. Up to the Danube and next to it, water flows or lakes of any kind, accumulate huge amounts of plastic, and this leads to the destruction of aquatic biodiversity, the drastic decrease in the quality of the water we feed on and the deterioration of the landscape. The “Cu apele curate” (“Clean Waters”) program aims at both historical depollution, through actions to collect the plastic already existing in the riverbed, and measures to prevent and combat future discharges. In order to fight with a flow rate of 4.2 tons / day of waste, extensive and long-term actions are needed in the entire Danube basin and its tributaries, both in Romania and in the countries riverane.
Clariant’s sunliquid® technology enables the valorization of agricultural residues for the production of cellulosic ethanol, an advanced biofuel that can be used as a drop-in solution for fuel blending and offers further downstream application opportunities into sustainable aviation fuel and bio-based chemicals. The bioethanol produced by the sunliquid® technology process helps decarbonize the transport sector by providing up to 96% CO2 savings compared to fossil fuel, and by as much as 120% if carbon sequestration is considered and used as part of the production process. In October 2021, Clariant completed the construction of its first commercial sunliquid® cellulosic ethanol plant, located in Podari, Romania. The flagship plant will process approx. 250,000 tons of straw to produce approx. 50,000 tons of cellulosic ethanol per annum and represents an important step for the commercial deployment of the sunliquid® technology and thus supports Clariant’s licensing business strategy. The plant is currently under commissioning.
