Audi "Achieves Carbon Neutrality at Hungary Plant"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Audi announced on the 12th that its Audi Hungary plant located in Gyor, Hungary, has established the largest solar roof installation in Europe and achieved carbon neutrality.

The Audi Hungary plant has aimed for carbon neutrality by building a geothermal power plant in 2012 and using certified biogas-based thermal energy to cover energy shortages. Since the beginning of this year, the Audi Hungary plant has been operating solely on green energy, and with the establishment of this solar roof installation, it has become the second Audi plant to achieve carbon neutrality among five Audi plants, following the Audi Brussels plant in Belgium in 2018.

Peter K?ssler, Head of Production at Audi AG Germany and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Audi Hungary, said, "Audi has a firm goal to achieve carbon neutrality at all facilities by 2025," adding, "By converting plants into facilities that use renewable energy, we are making a significant contribution to addressing climate change."

Alfons Dintner, CEO of Audi Hungary, stated, "Sustainability is an essential task for Audi Hungary, and we are contributing to carbon neutrality through solar power installations," adding, "Our goal is to operate more environmentally friendly production facilities and continuously reduce the ecological footprint in the production process."

Audi is continuously striving to reduce the ecological footprint of all its facilities, and all measures taken in Audi’s production and logistics sectors are aligned with Audi’s environmental program ‘Mission: Zero,’ launched in May this year. Audi’s ‘Mission: Zero’ program focuses on four areas of decarbonization activities: sustainable production, economical water use, resource efficiency, and biodiversity preservation. Audi has already achieved important interim goals in decarbonization, and since early this year, all Audi plants have been using only green energy.
