Volkswagen is the first automaker to transport most of its new vehicles overseas using low-emission LNG ships. The further decarbonization of shipping will result in substantial CO 2 reductions, with the use of liquid natural gas enabling Volkswagen to cut the ships’ CO 2 emissions by up to 25% percent (tank-to-wake).

Delivery of the locally emission-free eCitaro buses will take place in early 2022. This battery technology is also free of cobalt and therefore more environmentally friendly in the manufacture of the components. The batteries combine a very high energy density with a particularly long service life.

The plant will generate biomethane from corn stover (maize straw), and is the first large-scale commercial plant in the US to use the technology developed by VERBIO. VERBIO’s technology produces RNG from pure cellulosic material, such as corn stover or wheat straw. This turns driving vehicles into a form of climate protection.

As part of a pilot project, Audi is procuring 20-inch wheels for the Audi e-tron GT electric car that are made from low-CO 2 emission aluminum supplied by Alcoa to RONAL GROUP, the wheel’s manufacturer. The joint venture ELYSIS —formed by Alcoa and Rio Tinto in 2018 ( earlier post )—is now further developing this process.

The start-up of the pilot production at the Lingen site is a major milestone for us in bringing the “green iron” product to market maturity and establishing German technology worldwide. Instead of carbon dioxide, this technology produces only water vapor, which can be reused for hydrogen production.

The start-up not only avoids, reduces and compensates the CO 2 emissions of its own business activities, but also those of its users. Customers can use their collected “kilometers” to support certified climate protection projects. Its central task is to find and scale new digital business models and optimize existing products.
