Committed to our sustainability journey, we are proud to have joined further initiatives.
Science Based Targets initiative
INNIO Group is committed to set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C emissions scenario as part of our relentless commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Our near-term targets, now validated by the Science based Targets initiative, include a 50% reduction in absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and a 42% reduction in scope 3 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2020 as a base year.. This aligns us with a 1.5°C trajectory, the most ambitious designation available and a significant step towards meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
INNIO is a proud supporter of Race to Zero, a global campaign established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to bring together global leadership for a healthy, resilient, and zero-carbon future.
Responsible Minerals initiative
The Responsible Minerals Initiative provides companies with tools and resources to make sourcing decisions that improve regulatory compliance and support responsible sourcing of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
United Nations Global Compact
INNIO Group proudly aligns its strategy and operations with the 10 universal principles related to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and takes actions that advance societal goals and the implementation of the SDGs.
Our Projects
INNIO’s commitment to accelerating the transition towards zero emissions is more than just reducing our own operational emissions. We collaborate with our customers and partners to maximize our impact and make a sustainable energy supply a reality. We are building on our strong foundations and expertise to provide integrated sustainability services and solutions at scale.
INNIO Jenbacher’s hydrogen-to-power solution is leading the transition to green power on a global scale. Our technology converts stored green hydrogen – created using surplus green power from a wind farm – to power and heat. Storability is what makes this solution possible. In Patagonia, Argentina, the hydrogen—which can be stored for weeks or months—is electrifying homes and businesses.
The new modern and flexible combined heat and power plant replaces the coal-fired power plant on the Kieler Förde with INNIO’s Jenbacher technology. Thanks to its high efficiency and the environmental benefits of gas, the new facility is reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by 70%, equivalent to an annual saving of almost 1 million metric tons of CO2 or removing 500,000 cars from the road. Going forward, INNIO Jenbacher is working with Stadtwerke Kiel to make the coastal power plant climate-neutral by using green gases with a higher hydrogen content.
The largest private real-estate development in US history, the project transformed the West Side of Manhattan by developing 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space. Hudson Yards is innovating by incorporating a 13.2 MW INNIO Jenbacher CHP system to decrease energy costs and improve resiliency across the site.
Microgrids are decentralized power solutions that produce energy and supply it to the local consumers. Watch this film to see how an airport in Pennsylvania uses INNIO Jenbacher´s innovative technology in a first-of-its-kind solution ensuring greater power reliability, enhancing public safety and creating cost efficiencies.
Although new technologies in fuels and energy sources are being developed, the current installed base of natural gas generators needs to reduce CO2e emissions now. That’s why INNIO supported Ember Resources in navigating various emission reduction programs while upgrading our Waukesha engines that are in operation to reduce their CO2e footprint.
