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. Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Production. The strategic vision of the global production network is the BMW iFACTORY.
The Volkswagen Group has therefore committed to e-mobility as well as to the sustainable production and use of new electric vehicles. Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climateprotection measures. This has resulted in an 85% reduction in CO 2 emissions (well-to-wake).
billion (US$15 billion) in the country by 2015; investments in highly efficient products and resource-conserving production will account for more than two thirds of this figure. At Volkswagen, we are convinced that climateprotection and efficient technologies are drivers for economic growth.
C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. —Hagen Seifert, Head of Sustainable Product Concepts at Audi. The facility first draws in air and feeds it into the CO 2 collector, which contains a selective filter material. This uses a specially developed adsorbent to bind the CO 2 in the air.
million (US$12 million) to subsidize the project within its “Technologies for Sustainability and ClimateProtection – Chemical Processes and Use of CO 2 ” scheme. In hydrogen production alone, we expect CO 2 emissions to be about 50% lower than in current standard processes.
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.
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.
The Volkswagen brand has set itself new, ambitious targets for reducing the environmental impact of production. has received more than 30 awards—including the National Energy Globe as the best project in Germany, the GreenTec Award for energy efficiency and water-saving measures in production and the Sustainovation Award.
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.
For biofuels, because biogenic carbon is automatically credited within a product lifecycle, the boundary effectively excludes vehicle end-use CO 2 emissions. Such an approach can indicate policy directions consistent with fostering the conditions that comprehensive analyses imply are necessary for climateprotection.
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.
Based on the structure of production in 2015, at least 457,000 employees are involved in producing types of products which would be directly affected by the ban (e.g., Focusing on the required infrastructure and demand-oriented policy-measures, however, could accelerate the diffusion of innovative products in this field.
” Mercedes also specifies that the new facility will be 100% carbon neutral as part of the German automaker’s continuing efforts to decarbonize its production facilities in the coming years. Tesla has already announced that it would make recycled materials a bigger part of its production with the help of Redwood materials.
Unsurprisingly: apart from some occasional optimizations (less chemicals, better waste recycling), processes haven’t changed. The reduction in quantities of dye and finishing products is also drastic. There is a massive waste, alerts Alchemie Technology: About 30 tons of water is used to dye a single ton of fabric.
The German automaker is working with Finnish manufacturer Neste on the initiative, filling up new diesel models coming off the line with a fuel produced from various wastes, such as cooking oil, residues, and other renewable raw materials.
As Senators Graham, Kerry and Lieberman try to resuscitate the climate change bill by introducing a revised bill in mid-to-late April, twenty-three U.S. population and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and one-third of all U.S. Pricing GHGs will increase the prices consumers pay for greenhouse-gas-intensive products.
