Michelin has a firm commitment to be fully sustainable by 2050. In this presentation they will explain the way to reach this goal: in 2050 it will use 100% of raw materials of sustainable origin: organic or recycled. It also opts for fully decarbonised manufacturing processes, where waste and discharges are reduced and controlled. On the other hand, they are working on tyres with lower rolling resistance to reduce fuel consumption and the associated CO2 emissions. And to close the cycle, at the end of their useful life, they have the tyres they put on the market recovered and recovered. Por útimo, también trworking beyond tyres to find solutions to help decarbonise transport, by developing H2 fuel cells or sails for cargo ships to reduce their fuel consumption.

Mineral raw materials have become key to achieving the decarbonisation targets proposed by the EU in the European Green Pact. The new European Critical Raw Materials Act proposes that at least 10% of the minerals we need should be produced in Europe, thus reducing dependence on third countries. There are several mineral deposits in Europe that can reduce this external dependence and contribute to supplying industrial chains with more than 70% of minerals.

What are the keys to sustainable aviation? Despite the pre-covid demonisation of aviation, societal behaviour has shown that air mobility will continue to grow. However, achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is feasible. The aviation sector has a number of avenues and enablers that will make this possible. Is there a roadmap for accelerating this?

The rapid transition to electric vehicles is bringing a huge transformation for automotive companies, which are currently facing many challenges but also opportunities.
