— Outcome

Dalmine has reduced CO₂ emissions by approximately 2,200 tons in the last two years - the equivalent of the emissions generated by a car travelling 360 laps of the earth along the equator.

The 4,000 m2 of photovoltaic panels now generate peak power of 900 kWh, providing around 20% of the factory’s energy needs.

Replacing outdoor lighting with high efficiency LED lamps, reducing energy consumption by 76,000 kWh per year - the amount of energy needed to recharge the growing fleet of electric vehicles at the site.

"Our customers want to make their supply chains cleaner and greener and are increasingly looking to us for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Dalmine creates a blueprint for customers to replicate. It is a positive example of how innovative tech and digitalization can cut carbon emissions by 25 percent – a remarkable achievement.

At ABB we want to collaborate with our customers to reduce their annual CO2 emissions by more than 100 mega tons by 2030: almost as much as if 30 million combustion cars disappeared from our planet. By reduced carbon emissions and eliminating waste throughout our supply chain, we will support customers to realize their own sustainability ambitions."
