Yara Trinidad Lim­it­ed and Trinidad Ni­tro­gen Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (Trin­gen) have an­nounced the suc­cess­ful com­mis­sion­ing of three so­lar elec­tric ve­hi­cle (SEV) charg­ing sta­tions at their site.

The com­pa­nies said in a me­dia re­lease that this ini­tia­tive speaks to their com­mit­ment to re­duc­ing car­bon emis­sions and ad­vanc­ing the use of sus­tain­able en­er­gy so­lu­tions.

It not­ed the SEV charg­ing sta­tions are 100 per cent pow­ered by so­lar en­er­gy, un­der­scor­ing their im­pe­tus to re­duce their car­bon foot­print.

“By pro­vid­ing this fa­cil­i­ty, they hope to en­cour­age em­ploy­ees to em­brace en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly trans­porta­tion op­tions and make mean­ing­ful changes to­ward a green­er fu­ture,” the re­lease said.

Pres­i­dent of Yara Trinidad, Treveno Stenn Mowassie de­scribed this as the first step of many more to come.

“Every great jour­ney starts with that small step, and this launch is our first demon­strat­ed small step to­wards a great jour­ney to de­car­bon­is­ing our op­er­a­tions at a macro scale,” he said.

Pres­i­dent of Trin­gen, Kar­lon Batchas­ingh al­so not­ed this not on­ly sup­ports T&T’s fu­ture but al­so pro­motes a green­er cli­mate and at­mos­phere by re­duc­ing car­bon foot­print and pol­lu­tion.

Main­te­nance man­ag­er at Yara Trinidad, Ricky Bharat al­so re­it­er­at­ed that the ini­tia­tive re­in­forced the com­pa­ny’s “Cul­ture of Care” in its dri­ve to en­sure that Yara and Trin­gen con­tribute pos­i­tive­ly to the en­vi­ron­ment.
