Nissan Mexicana Low-Carbon Seals Recognize Clean Energy Leadership

On January 26, Nissan Mexicana announced that it received two low-carbon seals from the Government of Aguascalientes, acknowledging the company’s efforts to reduce both direct and indirect emissions across its local manufacturing operations.
The recognition highlights Nissan Mexicana’s structured approach toward cleaner production, with multiple initiatives implemented to lower environmental impact while maintaining large-scale vehicle manufacturing efficiency.
Clean Energy Measures Driving Emissions Reduction
As part of its sustainability roadmap, Nissan Mexicana has adopted several measures focused on clean energy operations and emissions control. These actions target both energy sourcing and process-level improvements within its facilities.
Key initiatives include:

• Replacement of ozone-depleting refrigerant gases across operations

• Use of CO2-free electricity supplied from Laguna Verde

• Electricity generation from the photovoltaic park at the Aguascalientes 2 plant

Through these measures, approximately 95% of the electricity used in Nissan Mexicana’s operations is now sourced from clean energy, reinforcing its low-carbon manufacturing strategy.
Impact on Vehicle Production and CO2 Emissions
The automaker reported that its transition toward sustainable manufacturing has supported the assembly of more than 3.5 million vehicles while significantly lowering environmental impact over time.
According to the company, these clean energy efforts have helped avoid over 900,000 tons of CO2 emissions. Additionally, Nissan Mexicana achieved a 17.7% reduction in indirect emissions and an 8.8% reduction in direct emissions, underscoring measurable progress in its automotive sustainability initiatives.
By combining renewable electricity use with operational efficiency, Nissan Mexicana continues to advance low-carbon certification outcomes while aligning vehicle production growth with long-term environmental responsibility.
