- 沼气应用
很多OEM制造商加紧可持续性项目，有两个公司即将到达关键里程碑。AMS报道通用和宝马沼气项目在再生能源上的成功和经验。去年，宝马集团采用再生能源，基本满足集团所需能源。这是历史第一次，也是公司实现100%绿色能源道路上的重要一步。公司在这个道路上的速度非常快；到今年3月份，仅仅是新的措施开始12个月之后，新能源使用在整个能源消耗中的比率就从51%上升到58%。宝马集团可耻性发展与环保部长Ursula Mathar在去年的“可持续性机制报告”里说，“我们的目标很明确，对转型新能源也有具体的规划。但是她说，“经济可行性”和建立“适当的框架条件”将对宝马逐步实现规划非常关键：即要实现提高全球各地工厂的能源效率；安装可再生能源资源；向第三方采购绿色能源。2015年，宝马集团采用再生能源，基本满足集团所需能源，这是历史第一次。到2016年3月，可再生能源使用比率达到了58%在今年3月发布的最新“可持续性价值报告”中，宝马公司称，自2006年，集团的工厂已经节省能源36%。2015年，每辆车的耗能比前年已经降低了2.7%，只有2.19MWh。可再生能源设备包括太阳能电池板（比如英国的Mini Oxford工厂），德国莱比锡工厂的风力涡轮机，华盛顿SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers的水里发电，以及南卡罗莱纳Spartanburg和南非Rosslyn工厂的沼气。宝马公司在报告中称，集团的战略重点不是在任何特定的可再生能源上，而是在巩固各种技术上：“我们决定每个工厂适合什么理念的技术，才对地方最有利”。集团还特别说明了一个计划，就是在未来数年内会在德国工厂安装光伏系统。 The technical centre at Warren, Michigan, is one of 22 GM facilities worldwide with solar arrays通用一鸣惊人也是在3月份，另一个可再生能源巨头 — 通用公司获得了美国环保局（EPA）颁发的第五届“新能源”奖。2015年，通用在美国的工厂里，每辆车耗能下降了5.6%，只有1.9MWh。通用公司全球制造高级副总裁Jim DeLuca说，“我们不断追求新技术，降低驾车对环境的影响，并在汽车制造中减少碳排放。”2011年，当通用首次投入可再生能源时，就制定目标，要到2020年实现每年创造125MW绿色能源。2013年到2015年，公司向该项目投资3,600万美元，投资内容有：在22个工厂里安装天阳能电池，创造48MW的能量；在9个地方建设电动车充电站；3个垃圾沼气设备；1个垃圾焚烧发电设备。2016年，通用将完成突破发电125MW可再生能源的目标 — 比预计提前4年即将在墨西哥和美国开展的风能项目每年将为两国的通用公司提供34MW和30MW的能源；在德克萨斯Arlington装配厂，每年使用风能生产125,000辆SUV汽车。公司称，公司还在推进收购太阳能板，而不是依赖采购协议。公司最近投入到肯塔基Bowling Green公司1MW电能项目当中。沼气是一可再生能源战略中的支柱，从开始出现到现在，仍然是中流砥柱。有了俄亥俄、印第安纳和密歇根的项目，汽车制造商已经成为美国最大的行业沼气使用者。通用公司的工厂现在至少能获得105MW绿色能源。到今年3月为止，公司10年以来的新能源探索不仅帮助减少对环境的影响，而且还节省了8,000万美元。据通用公司全球可再生能源经理Rob Threlkeld说，有两个风能项目会在今年晚些时候上线，公司届时将突破125MW目标。动物粪便是BMW Rosslyn的能源材料2016年3月，宝马公司在南非Rosslyn启动一个可再生能源项目。公司投资60亿兰特（约合4.083亿美元）从3Series转型生产X3。在收购Bio2Watt之后，从2015年10月开始接受绿色能源。该公司在Bronkhorstspruit(位于首都东部50公里)的农场里经营一个沼气发电厂。这个农场接收牛和鸡的排泄物，还有附近Tshwane的垃圾，而且还有雨水收集堤坝。 BMW Rosslyn has found a good use for animal waste, in the generation of green power via a third-party plant有机废物被送到两个厌氧分解池里，生产沼气，然后进入内燃机发电。这些电进入电力网，售给宝马等公司。目前，有40,000吨牛粪和20,000吨昏黑废物已经转化成沼气，用于供热和供电。Bio2Watt工厂能发电440W。BMW ...
