Ford Reduces CO2 Manufacturing Eight Years Earlier Than Expected

Posted on July 9, 2018 by admin

Ford Reduces CO2 Manufacturing Eight Years Earlier Than ExpectedAt Planet Ford in Humble, we are always excited to share positive environmental news from Ford Motor Company. The company recently announced that as part of its 19th annual Sustainability Report it has met its goal to reduce CO2 manufacturing emissions – eight years ahead of schedule.

In 2010, Ford’s Environmental Quality Office announced that it would reduce the company’s carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing operations by 30 percent per vehicle produced by 2025.

Ford hit its target twice as fast as expected and the results were dramatic with a global CO2 manufacturing emissions reduction of more than 3.4 million metric tons from 2010 to 2017 – equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from more than 728,000 passenger vehicles driven for one year.

“We are proud of the work we have done to achieve this goal,” said Bruce Hettle, group vice president, manufacturing and labor affairs. “We’ve made several improvements to our manufacturing operations – from the lighting we use to plant consolidations – all of which played a role in dramatically reducing our CO2 footprint.”

Ford reduced its emissions footprint through energy conservation and efficiency changes at Ford’s manufacturing facilities, such as installing more than 100,000 LED light fixtures and updating paint operations.

“Painting operations use a large amount of energy,” said Andy Hobbs, director, environmental quality office. “Introducing technology that allows wet-on-wet paint application and eliminates a drying oven, in more plants has significantly decreased energy use while maintaining quality.”

Minimum Quantity Lubrication is another energy-reducing technology. In MQL, a machining tool is lubricated with a very small amount of oil sprayed directly on the tip of the tool in a finely atomized mist, instead of with a large quantity of coolant/water mixture.

Ford is now working on setting a new goal that’s focused on renewable energy.

“We will continue to set ambitious goals and work to create innovative practices to achieve them,” said Hettle. “Our next strategy will focus on increasing Ford’s use of renewable energy while maintaining our energy efficiencies.”

Ford remains focused on reducing vehicle emissions by doing its share to deliver on CO2 reductions consistent with the Paris Climate Accord. The company is charting its course for the future by investing $11 billion to put 40 hybrid and fully electric vehicle models on the road by 2022.

For more information on what Planet Ford in Humble is doing to help reduce its footprint and maintain environmentally friendly practices, you can contact us at PlanetFord59.com.
