June 17, 202, Audi announced that it is working with energy suppliers to support renewable energy Expansion to achieve the goal of carbon and travel. The goal is to 2025, working with different partners to build new wind energy and solar power plants in European countries, which are expected to produce a green electricity of about 500 million kilowatts.
Audi’s goal is to increase the proportion of electricity generated by Audi partners using renewable energy than the ratio of electric vehicles. The first project is the solar park in Germany Metunburg – Pomerania, who is working with German utility company RWE. The power plant is expected to operate in 2022, with a total design capacity of 170 million kilowatts. It contains nearly 420,000 solar panels, which is said to be one of Germany’s largest independent solar parks.
Audi cooperated with energy suppliers to achieve the company’s vision to realize zero carbon emissions from 2050, and its ranging from raw materials to the manufacture of parts, and then to three stages of manufacturing stage and production.
At the moment, Audi’s goal is to reduce carbon emissions in its life cycle by 2025. It also plans to cooperate with European energy suppliers and continuously produced from parts to the entire vehicle manufacturing process.
For pure electric cars, although the new energy car itself does not discharge carbon, electricity production also produces carbon emissions. It is much more from fossil fuel power generation than generating electricity from renewable energy. This is why Audi will quickly subsidize the root cause of renewable energy power generation.
Collaboration with energy suppliers is also intended to solve the charging process that has not been completed in today’s green electricity. As the share of electric vehicles on the road is further increased, Audi’s goal is to increase the partners.With the power shares generated from the renewable energy. For example, Audi customers have been able to charge the environmental power solutions provided by the Volkswagen Elli (Electric Life) at home. For road charging, Ionity charging network and many other charging point operators have begun to rely on green electricity.
Audi will reach an agreement with the supplier to perform these measures for future orders, and fully implement these measures 2025. Since 2018, the use of green electricity has become an integral part of the HEV battery manufacturer and supplier protocol. Audi analyzes the effectiveness of these measures based on the lifecycle and obtains an independent third party certification. This integrated plan includes direct suppliers and secondary suppliers.
Reduces all actions in Audi Global Factory Environmental Footprints are included in the mission: zero environment plan. The key goal is to achieve net zero carbon emissions in all locations in 2025. The Audi Brussel factory has achieved this goal in 2018, and the Audi Hungarian factory achieved this goal in 2020. Audi is specially provided with green electricity in all production bases in Europe.
The manufacturing of the Audi E-Tron GT and Q4 E-TRON of the Volkswagen Tvy Factory is the production process of net pollution. This also applies to all E-TRON models.
