SINGAPORE, Feb. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (SINGAPORE AIRSHOW) -- Collins Aerospace, an
RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, today announced its facility in Tanauan
City, Philippines is now operating
on 100% renewable electricity. The site, which is part of Collins'
Interiors business, manufactures galleys and galley inserts,
lavatories, seating and oxygen systems for commercial aircraft.
"We're committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of our
manufacturing operations," said LeAnn
Ridgeway, chief sustainability officer for Collins. "By
switching to 100% renewable electricity, our Tanauan City site will
lower Collins' greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 25,000 metric
tons each year. With a yearly consumption of 36,000 megawatt hours
of green electricity, equivalent to the annual electricity usage of
nearly 5,000 homes, it is one of RTX's largest renewable energy
projects to date."
Tanauan City sources its electricity from a local geothermal
power plant that harnesses steam from the Earth's heat to generate
electricity, making it completely renewable. The site is one of
RTX's more than 70 renewable energy projects around the world,
including over 20 RTX facilities that purchase 100% of their
electricity from renewable resources.
