Industrial and Sites

Energy efficiency and transformation are the cornerstones of our strategy to decarbonize our own operations while optimizing costs and increasing resilience to energy cost volatility and climate disruption.

We are progressively improving our use of energy resources, and those efforts are bearing results:

• In 2024, we achieved reductions of 30% in energy consumption and 39% in carbon emissions in operations (Scope 1 & 2 emissions) compared to 2021 and are on track to achieve our decarbonization targets
• The share of decarbonized electricity used in our operations has increased from 45% in 2021 to 59% in 2024
  

In Europe, our Portuguese and Spanish plants lead in the use of photovoltaic power. The hybrid wind-solar project in Zaragoza will avoid 14,800 tons of CO2 emissions annually (equivalent to planting 189,000 trees) and generate over 126,000 MWh (enough to power 36,000 homes annually⁽¹⁾), with the equivalent of 42 soccer pitches covered by solar panels and four wind turbines of 6.9 MW.

In the India and Asia-Pacific region, our plants lead in the usage of photovoltaic and wind energy power. More than 80% of the region’s electricity requirements are sourced from these renewable energies. This has contributed to the region avoiding around 16,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, a figure expected to improve to 20,000 tons per year through various initiatives including the use of technologies such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

In South America, Stellantis invested in a local solar power producer to enhance energy self-sufficiency.

We are also diversifying towards new sources of energy: our first geothermal power plant in Caen, France, provides 30% of the plant’s energy requirements, reducing gas consumption by 70%, carbon emissions by 75%, and water consumption by 15%.

In North America, our assembly plant in Brampton, Canada, has achieved outstanding gas consumption performance resulting in significant energy savings and avoidance of CO2 emissions. Successes of the plant’s energy team include upgrading high-bay lights and enhancing demand response, leading to an 88% reduction in energy consumption during retooling.

In Rennes, France, our first industrial biomass heating boiler has cut the plant’s natural gas consumption by 30%, utilizing local natural resources – forestry residues and wood industry waste sourced within less than 100 km from the plant – and avoiding 6,500 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Finally, paint shops, which account for an average 65% of industrial CO2 emissions at a vehicle assembly plant, are undergoing transformation. New paint shops are equipped with electric ovens, and existing installations are being converted from gas to electricity or biogas.

The Company has introduced new, flexible and hybrid ways of working that contribute to employee work-life balance and emissions reduction. With employees being able to work remotely part of the time – where feasible based on their operational role – the Company can be more agile and efficient, while continuing to work on optimization of its manufacturing footprint.

Stellantis is also transforming three of its facilities (Poissy in France, Mirafiori in Italy, and Rüsselsheim in Germany) into “grEEn” campuses based on a low-carbon concept and extensive greening by 2027. Features include large-scale installation of solar panels on roofs, as well as use of modern vegetation techniques and cutting-edge construction technologies to reduce the total carbon footprint.
