Protecting the future we're building
Looking ahead, we see a number of possibilities – many of which are related to developing new technologies that help
reduce environmental impact.
For instance, Saab have invested in a company called Usitall, specialising in waste management and energy recovery. Thus, we are able to offer industrial cooperation and export of environmental knowledge within an area where several of our current and future markets are facing some of their greatest challenges ever.
Saab has initiatiated a new environmental cooperation project called the Nordic Climate Cluster. The objective is to stimulate a number of projects focusing on developing future solutions in the energy and environmental areas. Currently we are examining optimal use of biological raw materials, Carbon Capture and Storage and energy efficiency - and this is only the beginning.
Eco-friendly aviation
As a world-leader within the field of aviation, Saab is also investing heavily in reducing the impact that air traffic has on our climate. One example is the project Clean Sky, in which we are playing an active role as one of 12 European aviation companies.
Thanks to the technological advances made in recent decades, the emissions from aircraft have already been reduced considerably. With Clean Sky, however, we are looking to further reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide by some 20-40 per cent by the year 2020.
Wherever there’s a need, there’s an opportunity. And what could be a better way of producing growth, than by helping to create a better environment?
