Lamborghini will be able to reduce its CO2 emissions thanks to biomethane

Lamborghini will be able to reduce its CO2 emissions thanks to the biomethane, and it is important to remember that sustainability is a fundamental pillar for the maker of exotic supercars with V12 engines. When you think about reducing carbon emissions, the first name that comes to mind is NOT Lamborghini, because the Sant’Agata Bolognese house reaffirmed, last August, its commitment to electrification.

The new Lamborghini Countach remains true to the V12 engine but features electric assistance. This will not be the only path for the supercar maker: the manufacturer will now be able to meet its sustainability targets thanks to a biomethane facility aimed at “helping to meet the site’s CO2 requirements”. From 2023, this facility will significantly reduce CO2 emissions.

This is how Lamborghini will achieve a reduction in its emissions

This new system will be able to supply up to four million cubic metres per year, equivalent to 65% of Lamborghini’s gas requirements. This will cut CO2 emissions from the current 37% to around 80%. That is the equivalent of more than 11,000 tonnes of CO2 over the course of one year. Lamborghini’s new biomethane facility is not the first sign that the bull brand is serious about sustainability. The company has already created a park with 10,000 oak trees and has launched biocontrol projects with bees. All these projects exist alongside a range of cars that will be gradually electrified and hybridised by 2024.

Stephan Winkelmann, president and chief executive officer of Lamborghini Automobili, has stated that “in the area of sustainability, Lamborghini was a pioneer in the automotive industry, at a time when the issue was not yet being addressed by larger companies, or only partially. Our commitment began in 2009 through a series of programmes and investments, which in 2015 led us to achieve ‘CO2-neutral’ certification for the entire facility”.

Lamborghini does not stop here and has already set its next goal. This target is to move from a CO2-neutral production plant to becoming a fully CO2-neutral company. Hybrids such as the Lamborghini Sian are only the beginning of a radical change within the company. By 2030, the brand will have presented its fourth fully electric model. One of these electric vehicles is expected to be a grand tourer with a 2+2 seating layout.
