INNIO joins Science Based Targets initiative, 'Race to Zero' campaign

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 -- INNIO has announced signing on to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with 1.5°C emissions scenarios, criteria and recommendations.

This commitment builds on INNIO’s leading position as a shaper of the energy transition, according to a statement.

In addition, INNIO is proud to join the 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.

Headquartered in Jenbach, Austria, INNIO is a leading provider of renewable gas, natural gas, and hydrogen-based solutions and services for power generation and gas compression at or near the point of use. With its Jenbacher and Waukesha engines, INNIO contributes to the energy supply of communities, industry and the public.

“At INNIO, we are relentlessly addressing the threat of climate change by developing carbon reduction actions across our businesses and aligning with external impactful policies that support delivering net-zero emissions,” said INNIO president and CEO, Dr Olaf Berlien.

“The Science Based Target initiative is an essential part of our commitment to reduce carbon emissions.”

INNIO’s bold sustainability ambitions include that its engines be ready to be powered by 100 per cent climate-neutral gases by 2025 and that 100 per cent of its material inputs be recycled, renewable or reclaimed.

INNIO is also committed to the reduction of greenhouse gases within its value chain and therefore has pledged to lower these emissions at its production and office sites by 50 per cent by 2030.
