Compressor Solutions Driving the Green Economy Forward
17 April 2024
A carbon-neutral economy aims to balance carbon emissions with removal efforts, reducing net CO2 emissions to zero. It is not just an aspiration; it's a strategic imperative for organisations today. This transition promotes sustainability, innovation, and a healthier planet.
Countries and companies, including Atlas Copco, commit to achieving the net zero goals established in the Paris Agreement. They focus on finding solutions to meet these goals. We have solutions to help achieve net zero targets and reduce emissions.
Our commitment to Green Energy and Sustainability
In 2021, Atlas Copco made a commitment aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. We have pledged to adopt science-based targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. To delve deeper into our commitment to achieving these science-based targets and reducing our carbon footprint, check out Atlas Copco's group targets.
Embracing these science-based targets will elevate our efforts to go beyond providing customers with the most energy-efficient products and solutions. We aim to integrate environmentally conscious practices throughout its entire spectrum of operations.
The sustainable sourcing, using, capturing and compressing of gases is essential for the future of the planet. You know Atlas Copco as an air compressor company, but did you know we also have solutions compressing various gases and capture energy? We are leading the change as part of our commitment to Science Based Targets. These initiatives, along with many others, demonstrates some of the ways that we are leading the capturing and compressing all types of gas and energy sources. Green energy is essential for the future of our planet. Here at Atlas Copco, we go way beyond just compressing air!
The key pathway for industries to attain the objective of sustainability-driven production centres on minimising electricity consumption, leading to both a reduction in CO2 emissions and significant cost savings for implementing entreprises. Optimised compressed air can be a big step toward making it happen. The optimisation of compressed air is not merely a consideration for the present; it extends to the future as well. Kids love to make footprints and leave a lasting impression, but have you ever thought about the footprint and lasting impression that your production leaves.
Across every major industry and in every major marketplace worldwide, sustainability is gaining heightened priority in the 21st century business world. The reasons behind the push for "greener" operations are both powerful and promising, as some of the same practices that can help preserve the planet can also help businesses save money and boost their bottom lines.
As a strategic partner, Atlas Copco supports industrial companies in implementing Green Energy and/or CO₂-neutral manufacturing for their smart factories to enable a sustainable future. Always working on continuous development and bringing innovative solutions to the market with the aim to make a positive impact, and we always look at what we can do today, and what we can do tomorrow, and how we can help shape the future ahead.
Embracing Decarbonisation: A simple guide to sustainable success
Going green isn't just about the environment; it's a smart business move. To make it work, businesses need to align reducing their carbon footprint with their overall strategy, emphasising the importance of decarbonisation. This includes thinking about not only how it affects what you use but what you offer too, and how you report to stakeholders.
To make eco-friendly practices part of everyday business, focus on using energy wisely, adopting renewable energy sources, and exploring financial tools like green bonds and carbon pricing. Stay ahead of rules about carbon emissions by being flexible with local regulations, like putting limits on building emissions.
Collaborate with others in your industry to come up with new ideas and agree on way to cut carbon. Use technology, like digital tools, to keep track of your carbon footprint and progress in decarbonisation. Prove your progress with blockchain, earning trust from everyone involved. Combine different approaches, like using cleaner energy sources and capturing carbon, to get to net zero emissions.
Share your success story with data to show how you're meeting your goals. This not only keeps you competitive but also aligns with what people expect from businesses in terms of taking action against climate change through decarbonisation.
Elevating emissions control with Carbon Capture
Carbon Capture is a method to recover and reuse carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You can do it by emitting or producing carbon dioxide. We have the solutions to support your carbon capture operations, where CO2 can be reused or stored at high pressure and reuse for the repurpose.
There is no longer a need to purchase CO2. If you work with food, packaging, or fertiliser, use our expertise in recovery and reuse of gaseous CO2. Carbon capture demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding our shared world and actively contributing too its preservation.
Maximising renewable energy with Biogas upgrading
Sustainable energy sources like renewable gases can produce, upgrade and utilise without depleting finite fossil fuel reserves. You can upgrade all biowaste that creates biogas to generate biomethane and use it for processes. Biogas upgrading also generates carbon dioxide that we can capture and reuse. We have the solution to help you harness the immense potential of renewable resources.
Renewable energy is important for reducing greenhouse gases and creating a sustainable energy future. As technology improves and more countries use renewable energy, it will become one of the major energy sources of power globally.
Utilising green energy with Atlas Copco
We are committed to harnessing renewable resources for a sustainable future. Our partnership with renewable technologies aligns with our broader sustainability goals, ensuring a healthier planet for generations to come.
"Atlas Copco has corporate responsibilities to carbon neutral economy. We continuously work on research and development and add innovative features to reduce energy consumption in our equipment and continuously work on improvement which helps our customers reducing their energy consumption and achieving their carbon targets further towards green economy," said Product Manager, Sonik Barot.
Working together to a green economy
We can assist customers in cutting costs and reducing their carbon footprint, while also making a positive impact on society. By investing in out solutions, whether it be directly or indirectly, our customers save energy, helping the environment. We can support purposely built equipment that recovers energy from compressors and greenhouse gases from your processes for reuse or its commercialisation.
Contact us now for assistance in choosing equipment and collaborating towards achieving the net zero goal and carbon neutrality. These actions help both of us to contribute to a more sustainable future.
