Asia Pacific: HSE environmental update

Compressed air

Cummins sites across Asia Pacific are working on a compressed air campaign to reduce our use of compressed air and associated energy loss. Compressed air is one of the most expensive forms of energy, which can have overall system efficiency of only 5%-15%. In 2022 we started an inventory to understand how and when compressed air is used across our region, with the aim of reducing energy use and ultimately greenhouse gas emissions in line with our PLANET 2050 strategy and our 2030 goals. We have already seen some great responses and started measuring air compressor usage in selected sites. The data will be applied over coming months to reduce energy costs and emissions.

Energy input 100 kW 5% Motor and drive efficiency

80% Heat of compression

5% to 10% Waste: irrecoverable pressure loss leakage artificial demand inappropriate use

5% to 10% Productive use

Renewable energy

With the ongoing implementation of renewable solar electricity generation at Cummins Asia Pacific DBU sites, we have seen a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) (CO2e) from our operations. Our investment in renewable energy has reduced the reliance on electricity purchased from the grid and continues to help us on the journey towards our 2030 goal of a 50% reduction in GHG emissions.

Our latest rolling 12-month renewable energy production is 10.6%, which correlates to 207,230kg of CO2 saved from a 2018 baseline.

This is en route to the goal of zero emissions as a part of our PLANET 2050 campaign. In addition, savings will continue to increase as we invest in additional solar photovoltaic systems throughout the region.
