This way, we reuse waste oil in an environmentally compatible way. With 85 percent lower CO 2 emissions than with conventional fossil fuels, the contribution to climate protection is enormous. We are the first automaker to make widespread use of this fuel. —Thomas Zernechel, Head of Volkswagen Group Logistics.

Audi is partnering with the Zurich-based environmental start-up and promoting a future technology with the project. C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. The technology can also be scaled up to the megaton-per-year range and thus harbors great potential from the future.

BMW’s iFACTORY production strategy defines the future orientation of plants and production technologies at the BMW Group and meets the challenges of the transformation to e-mobility. Automotive manufacturing of the future requires a new, holistic way of thinking. A further key issue in the field of climate protection is biodiversity.

The fuel, jointly developed by Volkswagen, the Coburg University and other project partners, contains up to 33% renewable components based exclusively on residual and waste materials and enables CO 2 savings of at least 20% compared to conventional diesel thanks to the use of biofuels. Volkswagen employees tested the new fuel initially.

These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.

in environmental impact: energy -23.5%; CO 2 - 28.6%; waste -58.6%; water -27.5%; and solvent emissions -7.6%. In future, not only compressed air systems, cold networks and cooling towers but also ventilation and lighting systems are to be reviewed at all locations with a view to achieving further savings.

Many policymakers view biofuels as necessary for addressing the large portion of transportation demand likely to require liquid energy carriers for the foreseeable future, particularly as automobile, truck and aircraft use rise in developing economies. Avoiding CO2 releases that would otherwise occur (use biomass wastes; REDD).
