Hardware meets software: Skoon in support of Atlas Copco’s sustainable and digital ambitions.

Atlas Copco has set a bold ambition: achieving CO₂ reduction with Project 30-50. But what is it?

The climate goals are ambitious, and the deadlines are concrete:

• By 2030 – 55% CO₂ reduction (compared to 1990)

• By 2050 – Net Zero

That’s why: Project 30-50.

The challenge

Many companies want to become more sustainable but run into practical and financial barriers. Infrastructure, expertise, time, and resources are often lacking to achieve fast and measurable results. At the same time, the pressure is growing:

• The EU requires significant emission reductions before 2030

• CSRD obliges companies to report their performance in detail

• Customers and shareholders expect demonstrable progress

Atlas Copco Rental is taking the lead and has therefore launched the 30/50 project. As the name suggests, it’s a targeted approach to achieve emission reductions on time.

Within this initiative, Skoon is proud to contribute as a strategic and technological partner, creating the crucial data-driven insights for Atlas Copco’s customers through Skoon Suite.

The question is: how do you take quick steps without long implementation processes?

The 30/50 Project as a solution

With Project 30-50, Atlas Copco Rental makes emission reduction accessible for companies with temporary needs for compressed air, nitrogen, power, cooling, or steam.

Through this project, customers can rent energy-efficient solutions such as Stage V compressors and generators, hybrid energy systems, HVO fuel, and more – without having to invest. This is a huge turning point, especially for the fossil-driven industries where most of Atlas Copco Rental’s customers operate.

Skoon supports this initiative as a strategic and technological partner with smart tooling – the Energy Choice Assistant – helping companies make faster decisions, measure outcomes, and improve.

High ambitions start with the supplier.

That’s why Atlas Copco Rental has set an additional goal: achieving 30% to 50% CO₂ reduction per project or deployment, without structural investments from the customer side.

Strategic framework: Promise – Proof – Improve

Within Atlas Copco Rental’s 30/50 project, the Promise – Proof – Improve approach is central. In three steps, it provides a structured and substantiated route to emission reduction:

• Promise: For each project, an emission target is set in advance. Using Skoon’s Decision Tool, the most suitable energy setup is automatically selected based on location, duration, and consumption. This allows customers to easily make a well-founded choice between conventional, hybrid, or fully electric.

• Proof: During the project, data is collected via Atlas Copco Rental’s I-Rent platform, linked to Skoon’s monitoring infrastructure. This enables real-time measurement of fuel consumption, operating hours, energy distribution, and CO₂ emissions.

• Improve: After the project, the results are evaluated in energy reports. Skoon generates clear, reliable energy and emission reports, helping customers optimize future projects and substantiate their CSRD reporting with hard data.

“Where hardware and software reinforce each other, scalable and measurable solutions emerge. Think of hybrid generators and batteries that are intelligently controlled and monitored. That combination is crucial for effective CO₂ reduction. Promise – Proof – Improve … those are the principles we are eager to build on together with Skoon.”

Result: Convincing CO₂ reduction with data

With this joint approach, sales staff and customers can easily see the difference between conventional and hybrid setups. In multiple projects, it has already been demonstrated that hybrid energy systems consistently lead to:

• Lower CO₂ emissions (up to 50%)

• Reduced noise levels and fewer operating hours

• Higher energy efficiency

Start today

Project 30-50 shows that emission reduction doesn’t have to be a distant plan – it can be a practical reality. With data-driven software, companies can accelerate their sustainability journey – substantiated and without heavy investments.
