Approximately 97 percent is salt water, while most remaining freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers or difficult to access groundwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two decades ago, Ford set out to reduce its per-vehicle water usage by an astonishing 72 per cent. By 2013, Ford had already saved more than 10 billion gallons of water. In perhaps more digestible terms, that\u2019s the same as 15,000 competition-sized swimming pools; or over 3 hours 40 minutes of thunderous Niagara Falls flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While an admirable target, Ford sought to do more, setting itself an aspirational long-term goal of using zero fresh water in its manufacturing. That target is still in Ford\u2019s sights, and the company has already made considerable steps towards ensuring that the only freshwater use at its facilities is for human consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2-1024x503.png\" alt=\"WaterDay 1080x590 Arabic 2\" class=\"wp-image-22270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2-1024x503.png 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2-1080x531.png 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ford\u2019s Global Technology and Business Centre (GTBC) in Chennai \u2013 opened in 2019 \u2013 earned its Platinum green building rating at launch, the highest possible certification for sustainable buildings. The globally recognized certificate not only factors in water conservation but also sustainable design, architecture, and building material resources; energy conservation, including use of renewable energy resources; indoor environmental quality; and innovation and development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faced with challenges from seasonal droughts to permanent water shortages, different manufacturing sites have adopted various approaches to reduce, reuse, and recycle freshwater and identify alternative water sources, as even water-abundant areas can face water scarcity at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Ford\u2019s Chennai Vehicle Assembly and Engine Plant (VAEP), freshwater consumption is down to an incredible 1.17 m3\u00a0per vehicle \u2013 down from 7.3 m3\u00a0per vehicle only a decade ago. Having identified an alternate source of greywater to treat for non-production activities, smart water efficiency processes see it recycling almost 100 percent of industrial wastewater for manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3-1024x503.png\" alt=\"WaterDay 1080x590 Arabic 3\" class=\"wp-image-22271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3-1024x503.png 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3-1080x531.png 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WaterDay-1080x590-Arabic-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ford\u2019s other Indian-based VAEP in water-scarce Sanand boasts zero water discharge, with a 110,000 m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0rainwater harvesting pond used for pallet washing, irrigation, and with plans in place to replace the cooling tower\u2019s water with rainwater, too. Ford GTBC can also claim zero discharge thanks to its 100 percent reuse of treated wastewater for dual plumbing, horticulture, and cooling tower chiller.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are no specific regulations or usage restrictions on water use at Ford\u2019s Vietnam assembly plant \u2013 which draws from the Thai Binh River \u2013 a membrane bioreactor (MBR) based sewage treatment plant has recently been installed which, when it becomes fully operational in June 2021, will enable Ford Vietnam to recycle water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Thailand, both Ford Thailand Manufacturing (FTM) and Auto Alliance Thailand (AAT) receive a small quantity of recycled water from the government for use across its horticulture and washing requirements. Still, they have aspirations to expand water conservation efforts, including the possibility of reusing treated wastewater back into the manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Ford South Africa announced the launch of Project Blue Oval, a renewable energy project which aligns with the company\u2019s global target of using 100 percent locally sourced renewable energy for all its manufacturing plants by 2035 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In its first phase, construction of solar carports for 4,200 vehicles at the Silverton Assembly Plant will go a long way to seeing the Pretoria property become entirely energy self-sufficient and carbon neutral by 2024 \u2013 the very first Ford plant to achieve that status.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also included in Project Blue Oval planning is the implementation of treated wastewater reuse at the assembly plant. The short-term goal will be to capture 100 percent of the facility\u2019s wastewater for recycling and to reuse the maximum available volume back into the manufacturing process. The long-term goal will be to identify and utilize alternative non-fresh water sources to eliminate fresh water in manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond its manufacturing, Ford has helped the World Vision South Africa water project deliver \u2018water from air\u2019 to drought-stricken areas of Nelson Mandela Bay in the Eastern Cape and has in the past been recognized as one of a very few A Grade companies by CDP \u2013 a non-for-profit global disclosure company for environmental reporting. Funded by Ford Motor Company Fund, the Bill Ford Better World Challenge, and Ford Research and Advanced Engineering, World Vision SA was able to acquire an innovative Watergen GEN-350 atmospheric water generator, which extracts clean and fresh drinking water from moisture in the air in an energy-efficient manner, and is capable of producing 900 liters per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome of our Ford production plants around the globe are in what could be considered water-stressed areas, which means it\u2019s our responsibility to act consciously to protect one of our most vital resources,\u201d said Caro Hosier, director of Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering for Ford International Markets Group. \u201cDespite the exceptional advancements already made in water conservation, Ford continues to look for new innovative and efficient ways to achieve its long-term goal of using zero drinkable water in its manufacturing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford\u2019s aspirational long-term target of using zero fresh water in its manufacturing worldwide continues to get closer.
