In order to meet the requirements of regulators and investors, automobile manufacturers are gradually removing materials with high pollution and energy consumption from the whole supply chain, which brings more market opportunities to companies in the electric vehicle ecosystem < p > in the process of manufacturing traditional motors, rare earth metals are indispensable, but their production often uses chemicals that pollute the environment. AEM, based in the north of the UK, is working with Volkswagen's luxury brand Bentley and other companies in the automotive industry to develop recyclable motors that do not contain rare earth metals < p > James Widmer, AEM's chief executive, said: "our customers need to find a cost-effective way to eliminate the use of internal combustion engines and the need to use large amounts of rare earth elements in cars." < p > last year, the EU announced a draft law to finally achieve the zero carbon emission target, considering charging for excess carbon emission of imported products, legislating to purchase products that meet the standards, and formulating a battery recycling plan for electric vehicles. At the same time, the EU's review of the supply chain is becoming more and more stringent < p > globally, the implementation of carbon emission tax may pay a heavy price for backward carmakers, while investors and financiers increasingly favor companies with better environmental, social and Governance (ESG) < p > moshiel biton, CEO of addionics, an Israeli battery technology company, said: "people pay more and more attention to ESG." The 3D electrode produced by addionics is more efficient and can make the battery cleaner. But biton said, "but it's nothing compared to what's coming." < p > in the rapidly developing field of electric vehicle technology, it is uncertain how many companies seeking to develop the clean electric vehicle market will succeed. After all, today's cutting-edge technology may become obsolete tomorrow < p > MacMurray whale, an environmental sustainability strategist at Cormark securities, a Toronto securities company, said that in the fierce competition, any project that did not make enough progress within a certain period of time could lose opportunities < p > he said: "in this way, you can't attract the interest of investors because there are too many such companies saying they are the best." < p > achieve zero carbon emissions < / P > < p > however, the demand is real. From the perspective of automobile manufacturers, they need to use cleaner processes to produce common materials such as steel and aluminum, and strive to find battery chemicals that are less polluting to the environment < p > Andy Palmer, a pioneer in electric vehicles and chief executive of switch mobility, a British electric vehicle manufacturer under Ashok Leyland, an Indian commercial vehicle, said: "we only conduct new business with suppliers who have plans to achieve zero carbon emissions." < p > he added that at present, switch mobility offsets the carbon generated by manufacturing automotive metal parts by purchasing carbon emission credits, and takes this cost into account when evaluating new components < p > Thomas Becker, vice president of sustainable development of BMW, said that squeezing more carbon from the supply chain is an "important part" of the company's carbon emission reduction strategy < p > in March this year, Becker said at a meeting in London that BMW had negotiated with all battery suppliers and most steel and aluminum suppliers to choose materials produced from renewable energy < p > but the problem with electric vehicles is that the carbon emissions in the production process are very high, and the overall harm to the environment will be less than that of fuel vehicles only after driving tens of thousands of kilometers < p > BMW has measured carbon emissions throughout the supply chain. According to statistics, if the company does not take action, the carbon emission per vehicle will be 18 tons by 2030 and 12 tons in 2019. But BMW said its carbon reduction plan should cut that figure to 9 tonnes by 2030 < p > the cleaning demand for electric vehicles has also led some carmakers to start designing cars again < p > ANSYS, a Pennsylvania based engineering company, develops modeling software for multiple industries. PEPI Maksimovic, director of application engineering of the company, said that the demand of more automobile manufacturers seeking to model cars with greener or lighter materials has increased significantly < p > maximovitch said: "we are stepping up efforts to solve these problems... Bring cleaner, greener and more effective technologies to the market faster and earlier." < p > carbon emission tax is coming < / P > < p > in the past, the actions of enterprises in achieving sustainable development goals were often superficial < p > but now, Costa caldis, chief operating officer of safe, a supply chain tracking company, says carmakers are moving in the right direction, but not fast enough. "Stakeholders want to see real changes in the supply chain, not just statements," he said < p > Douglas Johnson poensgen, chief executive of circulor, which maps the supply chain for companies such as BMW and Volvo, said that more financing began to be linked to ESG objectives < p > "everyone realizes that they need to know where they buy and what they can inherit from the supply chain." < p > makram Azar, chief executive of full circle capital, a London based investment group, said it should be easier for auto companies that "meet all ESG standards" to raise funds < p > Azar said: "many large asset management companies allocate huge amounts of money to invest in companies that meet ESG regulations, but find that there are few alternative investment targets." < p > more carbon taxes will help to change this situation < p > full circle capital has invested in British start-up britishvolt, which is building a plant that uses only renewable energy to produce electric vehicle batteries < p > Peter rolton, executive chairman of britishvol, said that countries could raise huge funds through carbon emission taxes, which would also help to squeeze more carbon out of the supply chain < p > "carbon tax is an inevitable part of achieving zero carbon emission target in 2050," he added. "You can see it coming." < p > participate in mining < / P > < p > AEM company ?
