Volvo’s Main Engine Plant In Sweden Has Gone Entirely Carbon-Neutral


An automaker’s products can be as green as they’d like, but they’re only as environmentally friendly as the manner in which they’re produced. That point isn’t lost on Volvo, which has now reduced the carbon footprint of one of its plants in Sweden down to zero.

The Swedish automaker has now introduced “climate-neutral” heating to its engine plant in Skövde, sourced entirely from waste incineration, biomass, and recycled bio-fuels. Couple that with the electricity that Volvo has, since 2008, sourced for all its European plants exclusively from renewable sources, and you have the company’s first entirely carbon-neutral factory.

“This is a proud moment both for the Skövde plant and for Volvo Cars,” said Stuart Templar, Volvo’s Director for Sustainability. “Environmental care is one of our core values. Along with our plan to electrify all new Volvo cars launched from 2019, climate-neutral manufacturing operations will significantly reduce our overall carbon footprint, supporting global efforts to tackle climate change.”
