Atlas Copco Portable Air accelerates sustainability transformation
Part of a wider Atlas Copco Group sustainability plan, committing to ambitious carbon reduction targets will allow the company to do business ‘within planetary boundaries’.
By embracing innovation to provide the most efficient and sustainable solutions available, Atlas Copco’s Portable Air division intends to give customers the tools required to meet demanding applications while also helping them achieve their sustainability targets. In terms of equipment, some compressors will eliminate the need for using fossil fuels and consign exhaust gases to history, such as mobile electric compressors. Variable speed drive (VSD) compressors meanwhile, can be driven by battery or fuel cells, while their motor’s operating speed self-adjusts (or even shut down) to precisely match the user’s need for compressed air.
For larger projects, mobile compressors are likely to run on hydrogen; or on synthetic fuels made from converting unwanted gases, waste, and by-products.
By developing advanced equipment and revolutionizing its direct operations against closely monitored science-based targets, Atlas Copco’s Portable Air division is accelerating its drive towards sustainability.
