BMW Group announced at the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn that its global operations will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BMW Group has long been a partner of the UN Climate Change Conference and an active innovation leader in the field of sustainability,” said<\/a> Markus Duesmann, Member of the Management Board of BMW AG, Purchasing and Supplier Network. “Decarbonization is a major theme in the sustainability discourse, and for the automotive industry it is and will continue to be a top priority.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to BMW’s Sustainable Value Report 2016<\/a> (PDF), the share of electricity from renewable sources at\u00a0 BMW Group globally was 63% by the end of last year.<\/p>\n

“We make producing our own renewable energy a priority,” states the report. “If this is not possible due to prevailing conditions, we purchase green electricity locally as far as possible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An example of the company’s solar use is BMW’s new plant in Mexico, which will incorporate 71,000 square meters of solar panels<\/span>. With the addition of wind power sources, the plant will run entirely on renewables.<\/p>\n

A more novel approach to energy supply can be found at BMW’s South African plant, which sources some of its electricity from biogas created from food, cattle and poultry farm waste. During its first full operational year (2015), the facility supplied 15,844 megawatt-hours of electricity – 25% of the production plant’s electricity requirements. Solar power also features at BMW’s head office in South Africa.<\/p>\n

BMW has also been turning up the pressure on its suppliers on renewables.<\/p>\n

“We ask all suppliers involved in the CDP Supply Chain Programme to check that their emission goals for the reporting period of 2017 are compliant and to formulate their own science-based targets. This process cannot be implemented without a clear strategy change towards renewable energy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As well as cleaning up production, BMW is striving towards greener products.<\/p>\n

Electric vehicles<\/a> have become a special focus for the company. By the end of 2016, the company said it had sold 100,000 EV’s and set it sights on another 100,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales this year.<\/p>\n

BMW has also engaged in a number of pilot projects demonstrating the viability of “second-life” applications for EV batteries, such as for solar energy storage<\/a>, and past that, battery recycling.<\/p>\n

“After a long vehicle life and subsequent use as a stationary storage unit, we aim to achieve the highest possible rate of recycling of the valuable parts,” states the company.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With regard to its ICE (internal combustion engine) models, BMW says\u00a0 it would have reduced CO2 emissions in its European new vehicle fleet to least 50% of 1995 models by 2020.<\/p>\n

Last year, BMW Group was recognised as the world\u2019s most sustainable automotive company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
