SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Scania declares far-reaching measures to decarbonise its supply chain by 2030. Together with Scania’s suppliers it has outlined an formidable industry-leading technique to remove the biggest carbon emissions sources from the commonest manufacturing supplies and batteries.
“Once again Scania leads the way in ambitious climate action,” says Andreas Follér, Head of Sustainability at Scania. “We were the first in our industry to adopt Science Based carbon reduction Targets and we are now showing the way by decarbonising our supply chain.”
Through life cycle analyses, Scania has recognized 4 emission “hotspots” – batteries, metal, aluminium and forged iron – that collectively represent roughly 80 p.c of carbon emissions arising from manufacturing supplies.*
In electrical autos, for instance, batteries can account for half of sourcing emissions whereas in combustion engine autos, metal has the best carbon footprint. These 4 hotspots are subsequently the main target of Scania’s supply chain decarbonisation technique.’
The 2030 goal is one hundred pc inexperienced batteries, one hundred pc inexperienced metal, one hundred pc inexperienced aluminium and one hundred pc inexperienced forged iron in its manufacturing. Scania’s definition of “green” requires eliminating the principle sources of emissions by utilising new applied sciences, inexperienced electrical energy and/or recycled materials. In batteries, for instance, entry to inexperienced power in manufacturing is decisive. In the manufacturing of flat metal, changing coal with inexperienced hydrogen is essential.
“Scania has ambitious decarbonisation targets for all its activities, including our supply chain sourcing,” says John van Rossum, Head of Purchasing at Scania. “We’re pleased to note that several of our current and future suppliers are frontrunners in decarbonisation and will collaborate with us to reach the targets.”
