Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climateprotection measures. In Germany, the Group has already switched all rail transport with Deutsche Bahn to green electricity and is extending this to transport throughout Europe.
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 climateprotection is enormous. We are the first automaker to make widespread use of this fuel. —Thomas Zernechel, Head of Volkswagen Group Logistics.
The BMW iFACTORY focuses the BMW Group’s production expertise on three key topic areas: LEAN, which stands for efficiency, precision and extreme flexibility; GREEN, for sustainability, resource-efficiency and circularity; and. GREEN: Sustainability along the entire value chain. —Milan Nedeljkovi?,
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.
C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. Audi is once again following its holistic approach here and is participating in the project to promote the development and meaningful implementation of innovative climateprotection technologies.
Neste, the world’s leading provider of renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, and an expert in delivering drop-in renewable chemical solutions, and REMONDIS, one of the world’s largest privately owned recycling, service and water companies, have signed an agreement to collaborate in the development of chemical recycling of plastic waste.
The DHL Group is a pioneer of green logistics, utilizing its expertise to make the logistics of its customers greener and more sustainable. Neste’s SAF is made from sustainably sourced, renewable waste and residue raw materials.
Even though we are in unprecedented times, due to the ongoing pandemic, we have to make sure that climateprotection and sustainability efforts remain at the forefront. This is why we have taken the decision to neutralize the carbon emission of all our LCL shipments. —Tim Scharwath, CEO DHL Global Forwarding, Freight.
At Volkswagen, we are convinced that climateprotection and efficient technologies are drivers for economic growth. And I am confident that the world’s best automaker must take the lead in terms of green mobility, too. 88% of the waste and packaging material from the production process is recycled.
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.
million (US$12 million) to subsidize the project within its “Technologies for Sustainability and ClimateProtection – Chemical Processes and Use of CO 2 ” scheme. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is granting a total of €9.2 The project started on 1 July 2013, and is expected to last three years.
in environmental impact: energy -23.5%; CO 2 - 28.6%; waste -58.6%; water -27.5%; and solvent emissions -7.6%. This corresponded to 40 percent for the global climateprotection factors CO2 and energy, and 60 percent for the local environmental protection factors of water consumption, waste production and solvent emissions.
Sustainable Communities : The Sustainable Communities and ClimateProtection Act of 2008 (SB 375) directs California’s metropolitan planning organizations to develop sustainable communities strategies that meet regional greenhouse gas reduction targets through integrated land use, housing and transportation planning.
Such an approach can indicate policy directions consistent with fostering the conditions that comprehensive analyses imply are necessary for climateprotection. Avoiding CO2 releases that would otherwise occur (use biomass wastes; REDD). Balancing CO2 emitted from carbon-based fuels with CO2 removal somewhere else.
It is important that climate policy is neutral in terms of technology; in other words that it sets climateprotection goals without stipulating the technologies to be used to achieve them. German manufacturing is one of the top international competitors in alternative drive technologies.
This is achieved through a mix of solar energy installed at the facility and green energy purchased from the grid. While at the same time, national governments are also incentivizing many of these projects to help reduce the waste that could become an issue in a wholly electrified future. Late last month, the U.S.
Hosted by Hubject, this year’s tenth edition of the conference attracted more than 2,000 attendees, and truly was a wonderful celebration that reflected our industry’s mission of climateprotection and environmental awareness. Doron showcased his message with insightful customer success stories and best practices.
I will continue to work with Senators Kerry and Lieberman to produce a new bill that has a new focus that will lead to energy independence, create the jobs that we will need to become a vibrant, viable economy in the 21st century, and a green economy and clean up the air. ”. Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord, available at: [link].
