About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Lonza is building and will operate a dedicated 130,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Portsmouth, NH, USA, as part of a strategic collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The facility incorporates full electrification, renewable electricity sourcing, and a 1.5 MW on-site solar photovoltaic installation to achieve near-zero GHG emissions. It is designed as Lonza's first near-zero GHG emission manufacturing asset and supports commercial production of Vertex's T1D cell therapies. Evidence: "In partnership with Vertex, this new asset will be the first Lonza near-zero GHG emission manufacturing facility. The main technical sustainability elements include full electrification, use of renewable electricity and a 1.5 megawatt solar photovoltaic installation." — https://news.vrtx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/vertex-and-lonza-build-dedicated-manufacturing-facility-type-1
