Nissan Commits to Fully carbon neutral Goal for 2050 #NissangoesCarbonNeutral

Nissan Motor Co Ltd. in a press release stated that it had set the goal to achieve carbon neutrality across the company’s operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050. As part of this effort, by the early 2030s, every all-new Nissan vehicle offering in key markets will be electrified.

To add to this, Nissan will pursue further innovations in electrification and manufacturing technology to make progress on the company’s carbon neutrality goal in the following strategic areas

1. Battery innovations including solid-state and related technologies to develop cost-competitive and more efficient electric vehicles;
2. Further development of Nissan’s e-POWER electrified powertrains to achieve greater energy efficiency;
3. Development of a battery ecosystem to support decentralized, onsite power generation for buildings with renewable energy sources. Nissan anticipates increased collaboration with the energy sector to support the decarbonization of power grids;
4. Manufacturing process innovations to support higher productivity in vehicle assembly, starting with the Nissan Intelligent Factory initiative. The company will also strive for greater energy and material efficiencies to support longer-term carbon neutrality ambitions.

Commenting on this, Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida said: “We’re determined to help create a carbon-neutral society and accelerate the global effort against climate change,”

“Our offering in electrified vehicles will continue to expand around the world, and this will make a major contribution to Nissan becoming carbon neutral. We will continue to drive innovation that enriches people’s lives as we pursue a sustainable future for all.”

With 100% of all-new vehicle offerings to be electrified in the key markets of Japan, China, the U.S. and Europe by the early 2030s, Nissan will also be among the leaders in driving the adoption of electric vehicle technology.
