Lamborghini Found A Way To Dramatically Lower CO2 Emissions

Lamborghini is not the first company that springs to mind when one thinks of a reduction in carbon emissions. As recently as August, the companyreaffirmed its commitment to V12 powerplants. The newLamborghini Countachcontinues this fine tradition, even though it is enhanced with electric assistance. But there are other ways for the Italian marque to reach its sustainability goals and the company is doing just that at its Sant'Agata Bolognese site. Lamborghini has implemented a biomethane installation to help meet the site's gas requirements. It will lower CO2 emissions considerably from 2023.

This system will provide close to four million cubic meters per year, which works out to about 65 percent of Lamborghini's gas requirements. This will lower CO2 emissions from 37% currently to around 80%. That's the equivalent of over 11,000 tons of CO2 over a period of a year. The new biomethane installation is not the first sign that Lamborghini takes sustainability seriously. The company has already created a park with 10,000 oak trees and initiated bio-monitoringprojects with bees. All of these projects exist alongside a gradually transforming lineup of cars that will all be hybridized by 2024.
