Trends and updates CO2 emissions DDM!

Sustainability is an important topic within DDM. The trends and developments regarding this subject are closely monitored. DDM is therefore a member of the VERAS CO2 industry initiative.

The CO2 emissions of DDM Demontage B.V. and DDM Belgium have decreased in 2021 compared to 2022. The CO2 emissions of DDM Deutschland have increased in 2022 compared to 2021. However, this can be explained by the fact that DDM Deutschland had a strong increase in turnover in 2022 compared to 2021 .

There are other trends to be observed regarding sustainability. For example, a 23-ton electric crane recently operated in Terneuzen, and electrical equipment is currently running in Cologne! DDM Deutschland in particular is currently busy and very busy with the subject of 'circularity'. On various projects, stones and clinkers are carefully removed from buildings. These stones and clinkers are then collected by a third party and used again in new construction.

Reduction targets have been drawn up to reduce CO2 emissions within DDM. The reduction targets are shown below:

Objectives and Measures for All of DDM

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from fuel consumption of the vehicle fleet by 10% (Scope 1)

  • Promote fuel-efficient driving: provide all drivers with a fuel-efficient driving toolbox.
  • Actively encourage carpooling among employees and demonstrate its implementation.
  • Purchase only tires with an A-rating for fuel efficiency according to the European tire label when acquiring new tires.
  • Provide bicycles at project sites and offices for short trips.

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from fuel consumption of machinery by 10%, including the use of HVO100 on projects (Scope 1)

  • Replace machines with Stage 2 engines with Stage 4 or 5 engines by 2026 (compared to 2021).
  • Operate machinery on HVO100: Use HVO100 instead of diesel or gasoline on specific projects.
  • Develop a toolbox to optimize fuel-efficient machine operation.

Additional Measures for DDM Demontage

Objective: Reduce gas consumption at the main location in De Meern by 100% through investments such as battery storage (Scope 1)

  • Construct an energy-neutral office and purchase a battery storage system.
  • Encourage staff to minimize heating use and dress warmly.
  • Replace gas-powered installations with gas-free alternatives.

Objective: Increase the share of hybrid/electric vehicles to 50% (Scope 2)

  • Share the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles with employees via DDM Info.
  • Install at least one charging station per ten parking spaces.

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from electricity consumption in De Meern by 100% (Scope 2)

  • Procure 100% green electricity for the De Meern location.

Additional Measures for DDM Belgium NV

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from gas consumption at the Kontich office by 10% (Scope 1)

  • Encourage staff to minimize heating use and dress warmly.

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from electricity consumption at the Kontich office by 100%

  • Procure 100% green electricity for the Kontich location.
