BMW Group sourcing aluminum produced using solar energy from EGA

Green Car Congress

The BMW Group will begin sourcing aluminum produced using solar electricity with immediate effect. The use of solar electricity is therefore an effective lever for reducing the CO 2 emissions associated with aluminum smelting. The use of solar electricity for producing aluminum is a major step in this direction.

Report for IPCC finds renewables could supply up to 77% of global energy by 2050 under most optimistic scenario; need for enabling public policies and investments

Green Car Congress

Biomass and solar are shown as primary energy due to their multiple uses. The upper end of the scenarios assessed, representing a cut of around a third in greenhouse gas emissions from business-as-usual projections, could assist in keeping concentrations of greenhouse gases at 450 parts per million, the report said.
