What effect are these alternative energy solutions likely to have in reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
A9. The expected growth in distributed power generation will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from future power generation. We estimate that as a result of the ongoing shift to renewable and small-scale distributed power generation, emissions from newly installed power generating capacity will, by 2005, be about 25 percent lower than they were in 1997, even though the total power output will have increased. Sharing technology Q10. What benefits do you see in sharing technology with developing countries? A10. ABB’s strategy of sharing our state-of-the-art technology with developing countries brings benefits to both sides – by raising national quality levels, improving local and national environments, raising living standards and working conditions, and contributing to the local economy and social development, while at the same time growing ABB’s business in these emerging markets.
