FAITH MKHOMBE annualreport.bmwgroup.com / 2019 SOUTH AFRICA The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption are calculated based on the measurement methods stipulated in the current version of Regulation (EU) 715 / 2007. This information is based on a vehicle with basic equipment in Germany; ranges take into account differences in wheel and tire size selected as well as optional equipment and can change based on configuration. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions information are available on page 70. The figures have been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle and adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes. In these vehicles, different figures than those published here may apply for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions. For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at www.dat.de /co2 /.

  • Energy from Wastewater Best Practise
    Best Practise Energy from Wastewater Use of biological wastewater treatment to generate energy, preserve resources and lower operating costs The challenge in terms of sustainability: Reducing energy consumption and optimising operating costs is an important aspect for many companies. Under certain conditions these goals can be combined in an intelligent wastewater treatment plan. By recovering energy, recycling water and minimising disposal costs, operating costs can be lowered and CO2 emissions reduced. EnviroChemie GmbH in Rossdorf identified this trend some time ago, and has been developing process technology and designs since the nineteen nineties to combine industry wastewater treatment with the other aspects mentioned above. Initial situation: The Swedish dairy company Norrmejerier, based in Umeå, had to handle large quantities of whey which are a by-product of their production, on a daily basis. Around 90% of the milk used in cheese production ends up as the high-energy by-product whey. The high costs of disposing of whey have been reduced by marketing a whey-based drink and by selling it as a feedstuff for livestock. But the volumes created are so huge that the marketing approach on its own has not been enough. The solution - sustainable technology: Since 2006 an economically and environmentally successful anaerobic wastewater treatment and energy recovery approach has been in operation there. This has also allowed disposal costs to be lowered. The EnviroChemie engineers developed a sustainable wastewater technology process for the customer. After separating the valuable proteins from the whey, the remaining organic load in the whey and the whey permeate are processed anaerobically, together with other production wastewaters, to produce energy rich biogas.
