CO2 reduction in practice
Industry

solar panel The industrial sector releases more than one-third of the world's energy-related CO2 emissions. Including industrial uses of electricity, the sector's contribution rises to 47%. On top of this, production processes also emit CO2 and a variety of other major greenhouse gases.

But all over the world, companies become more aware of their responsibilities and are looking for, and finding, new opportunities to save money and cut carbon emissions. And at the same time provide the consumer with superior products and services, many of which will save them money too.

ENRON, for example, has major new wind and solar energy projects in development in the US, India and China. the Japanese company Kyocera is pioneering the use of solar cells as construction elements in roofs and walls of new commercial buildings. Also the Dutch sweets manufacturer Van Melle has recently installed a solar energy system.
