Zonne-energie op grote schaal stimuleren


Bron: Link Magazine, geplaatst op 14/02/2012 om 10:39
DuPont en Suntech Power Holdings, 's werelds grootste producent van zonnepanelen, hebben een strategische overeenkomst getekend voor een grotere toevoer van fotovoltaïsch materiaal en technologie voor de groeiende markt voor zonne-energie. De overeenkomst is voornamelijk gericht op technische verbeteringen, optimalisering van de leveringsketen, kostenbesparingen en levering van DuPont Tedlar polyvinylfluoride folie. De bedrijven onderzoeken ook de mogelijkheden voor co-marketing.
Met de samenwerking hebben beide bedrijven als doel om het gebruik van zonne-energie op grote schaal te stimuleren en zo de afhankelijkheid van fossiele brandstoffen wereldwijd te verminderen. Ze willen dit doel bereiken door de technologie voor zonne-energie nog verder te verbeteren, de kosten ervan te verlagen en consumenten bewuster te maken van de voordelen ervan. In november kende Suntech aan DuPont al een Supplier Excellence Award toe voor het leveren van producten en technische ondersteuning, productinnovatie en samenwerking.
