A rapidly developing low-carbon local energy source, geothermal is expanding into towns and cities, where it is helping reduce the environmental footprints of buildings. VINCI Energies business units have been developing valuable experience and expertise in this field over many years and now increasingly find themselves working on projects to harness geothermal energy.
The air transport sector is moving in the right direction: with more than five billion passengers and over 1,000 billion dollars in sales, airlines are set for spectacular growth in 2025. From optimised baggage handling systems to sustainability in fire protection systems, and innovations such as digital control towers, site electrification and energy self-consumption, the various VINCI Energies brands and business units involved are working constantly to improve performance in airports across the world.
Fierce competition, the pursuit of productivity, relocation policies, a shortage of manpower: these are just some of the pressures on an industry searching for solutions to kick-start a new growth cycle and make plans for long-term recovery. One of these potential solutions is robotic automation. Having long been a pipe dream, it is now a rapidly expanding reality.
With a carbon footprint that accounts for 3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, maritime transport is as polluting as air transport or the whole of Germany. However, cargo transport – 80% of which is by sea – still outperforms every other transportation system. The decarbonisation of shipping is therefore crucial. The UN, EU, national governments and other key players in the sector (shipowners, shippers, ports, etc.) are working together to accelerate maritime transport’s environmental transition.
