Striving To Attain Its ‘CO2-Neutral’ Ambitions, Lamborghini Accelerates Towards Decarbonization

Accelerating the path to decarbonization, Automobili Lamborghini’s execution of a biomethane installation to power its Sant’Agata Bolognese site.

This push towards sustainability continues the concrete actions by Lamborghini that will lead to a significant reduction in emissions in the space of just a few years.

Automobili Lamborghini’s chairman and chief executive officer, Stephan Winkelmann, remarked, “In the area of sustainability, Lamborghini was a trailblazer in the automotive industry, at a time when the issue was not yet being addressed by large companies, or only partially. Our commitment started in 2009 through a series of programs and investments, which in 2015 led us to achieve ‘CO2-neutral’ certification for the entire facility. And today, our path is accelerating with the goal of going from a ‘CO2-neutral’ production site to a ‘CO2-neutral’ company through a holistic approach involving the product, factory, logistics, and supply chain.”

The system will deliver nearly four million cubic meters per year, equating to around 65 percent of the company’s current gas requirements. 

Notably, it will enable a reduction in CO2 emissions from the current 37 percent to around 80 percent, equivalent to a total of over 11,000 tons of CO2 a year.

On top of that, Lamborghini is a company that views sustainability as an ethical responsibility. As such, the brand pushes further its path to decarbonization in other aspects as well.

I.e., creating a park with 10,000 oak trees, bio-monitoring projects with bees and construction of one of the largest photovoltaic systems in Emilia-Romagna. 

That’s not all, said effort also includes the creation of a trigeneration and district heating plant, as well as the recent launch of the sustainable logistics project.

Moreover, with the objective of building an even more sustainable future, the brand is also involved in an ambitious program known as ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’ from now until 2030.

To shine a little light, it is a dramatic transformation process driven by the largest investment in its history, costing EUR 1.5 billion (RM 7,224,917,723) over four years.

Consequently, it will lead to the entire product range being completely hybrid by 2024 and to the introduction of a fourth fully electric model by 2030.

Interestingly, the program takes its name from the brightest star in the Taurus constellation, with the bull being the brand’s symbol.

In short, starting from 2023, the Sant’Agata facility will be powered by biomethane, alongside the arrival of the much-anticipated hybrid range.
