Challenge Our approach Results
• Global population growth is increasing • Technological solutions that reduce harmful • In 2015 we helped our customers cleanse demand for energy and transportation exhaust gas emissions, thereby helping to a total of 1.4 million tonnes NOx which is still heavily relying on fossil fuels fight air pollution emissions. Or around the total annual emissions in France or Germany. • Current emission levels are not • We offer complete solutions to clean NOx sustainable emissions from vehicles, ships and industrial plants along with a highly efficient 1.3 million people die globally every year • SOx scrubber solution for seagoing vessels from urban air pollution

Build positions for crop with both value and scale
