| Number One for the Environment The pilot plant employing CCS technology began operating in Schwarze Pumpe, Germany. Declaration of Vattenfall’s climate vision – to be climate-neutral by 2050. Continued construction of coal- and lignitefired power plants in Germany with a high level of efficiency and environmental performance. The plants will competitively force out older capacity and lead to lower CO2 emissions. (Read more on Coal based power in the CSR report (new window) ). Construction of new biomass-fired plants in Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Finland. Increase co-combustion of coal and biomass. Upgrades of hydro power plants. Major investments in wind power in the UK (read more on British winds strengthen Vattenfall ). Co-operation with ScottishPower Renewables in the development of offshore wind farms. Construction of a new hydro power plant (4.6 MW) in Abelvattnet, Sweden. Venture with BMW on electric cars in Berlin. Pilot plant for wave power. |
1,8 1.8% increase in CO2 emissions1 per kWh compared with 2002–2006. Business plan target for 2008–2010: 3% decrease in CO2 emissions in 3 years (corresponding to 1 million tonnes/year). 1) The increase is attributable to the outages in nuclear generation in Germany as well as Sweden, which increased the share of fossil-based generation in the production mix. It is expected that future targets can still be met. |
-2 Reduce CO2 emissions by 2%, corresponding to 2 million tonnes, in own operations from 2009 to 2011. | -50 50% reduction in CO2 emissions per produced unit of electricity and heat in own operations by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. |
