ABB achieves carbon-neutral flagship facility in Ludenscheid, creating a blueprint for others
ABB demonstrates how its customers can achieve carbon optimization in their factories with its flagship Mission to zero facility, that now generates 25% with a solar power plant, 25% with a co-generation unit and 50% green electric energy from the grid.
There are positive signs across the investment sector that building decarbonization and energy efficiency are taking hold in investment strategies. This is critical to support and achieve global climate change efforts for a sustainable future*. Investment in energy-efficient buildings increased for the first time in three years in 2019, with building energy efficiency across global markets increasing to USD $152 billion, 3% more than the previous year. However, this is only a small proportion of the USD $5.8 trillion spent in total in the building and construction sector globally.
