Carbon dioxide

Our main pages on this subject:

1.Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
 By 2007, reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the European Union by 45 % compared with 1998, in line with the directive on carbon dioxide quotas (boiler plants with a power rating of more than 20MW)....
 
2.Eliminating or reducing vehicle impact
 It is thus able to obtain detailed inventories of flows - of noise, and the emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, for example - and their impact on the vehicle life cycle....

By 2007, reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the European Union by 45 % compared with 1998, in line with the directive on carbon dioxide quotas (boiler plants with a power rating of more than 20MW)....... It is thus able to obtain detailed inventories of flows - of noise, and the emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, for example - and their impact on the vehicle life cycle.......
 
4.Emerging countries
 When the report was published in July 2004, Louis Schweitzer, Renault's Chairman at the time, emphasized that : carbon dioxide emissions would rise significantly as a result of the massive increase in mobility in emerging countries ; an integrated approach was needed to promote sustainable mobility.............
 
5.Energy consumption
 Energy consumption per vehicle across the entire Group fell 4.1 % between 2006 and 2007. Since the target was set in 2003, on a like-for-like basis, consumption has fallen by 12.1 %, an average of 3.0 % per year.... Our main pages on this subject :.

Since the target was set in 2003, on a like-for-like basis, consumption has fallen by 12.1 %, an average of 3.0 % per year.... Carbon dioxide emissions from boiler plants with a power rating of over 20MW (covered by the European directive on carbon dioxide quotas) fell by 52 % between 1998 and 2007...........
 
6.Life cycle
 Renault tries to eliminate or reduce vehicle impact on the environment at every stage of the vehicle life cycle.... Renault incorporates environmental factors by acquiring increasingly precise information on the ecological impact of each stage in the vehicle life cycle.... It is thus able to obtain detailed inventories of flows - of noise, and the emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, for example - and their impact on the vehicle life cycle.......
 
7.Nitrogen oxides
 For example : natural resources are consumed for vehicle production and use ; automotive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increase the greenhouse effect responsible for global warming ; automotive sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) contribute to the acidification of rain and soil ; vehicles raise noise levels in the urban environment.......
 
8.Sustainable mobility
 When the report was published in July 2004, Louis Schweitzer, Renault's Chairman at the time, emphasized that : carbon dioxide emissions would rise significantly as a result of the massive increase in mobility in emerging countries ; an integrated approach was needed to promote sustainable mobility.............
 
9.Natural Resources
 One liter of fuel saved per 100km means 2.3 kg less of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere....
 
10.Global Warming
 The greenhouse gas effect caused by human activity can be attributed primarily to carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas is produced primarily by the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) for energy and transport. : by reducing energy consumption at production sites ; by upgrading existing technology : through the development of more efficient gasoline and diesel engines, improved vehicle aerodynamics, management of in-car electrical requirements, reduced weight and friction, etc....
