Economic sustainability at the touch of a button
July 31, 2023 - Sustainability and profitability go hand in hand for the industrial sector? This could soon become a reality thanks to a digital solution that has been developed. The "Climate Solution for Industries" (CS4I) research project, with the involvement of Fraunhofer IPA, is already starting with investment decisions and providing support along the entire value chain.
In order to become climate-neutral by 2045, Germany must reduce its CO2 emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 1990. At around 15 percent, the industrial sector plays a key role in this. Emissions along the entire value chain - both upstream and downstream - account for more than 70 percent of total emissions in many industries and business models.
In the "Climate Solution for Industries" (CS4I) project, Fraunhofer IPA is working with partners Intense AG, Objective Partner AG, Digital Renewables , Gerolsteiner Brunnen GmbH & Co. KG, Döhler GmbH and SAP SE, is investigating how CO2 emissions can be reduced without losing sight of economic efficiency.
