PRODUCTION & OPERATIONS
The ABB MV Titanium is world ’ s first mediumvoltage industrial motor
ABB ’ s President of Large Motors and Generators . “ Different power generation forms are coming into the grid , more renewable , more wind , more solar . That means the grid needs to be stable .
“ Things are going to be electrified . That ’ s where ABB is able to help customers and investors make the journey to net zero .”
ABB exists in contradiction with sustainability too , part of the same energy industry that has contributed to climate change . But like BASF , they embrace what Matthias calls their “ special responsibility ” to spearhead change and sustainable innovation .
Matthias points to BASFs delivery of polyurethane systems that serve as insulation materials for housing and how the company reduces emissions in the automotive industry through engineering plastics for weight reduction .
“ We are , to a certain extent , part of the challenge , because we are large emitters with our big production plants ,” he says . “ But we ’ re also part of the solution .” Mia agrees , saying : “ It ’ s a lot of work . Luckily we are stubborn like crazy , so we are not giving up .”
