Electronic motor control
|
|
|
37 million tons of CO2 are saved every year by the 4 million variable speed drives installed world-wide from Danfoss. This corresponds to the CO2 emissions from more than
19 million cars in Europe. However, 70-80% of new industrial electric motors are wasting energy by not using variable speed drives to control their energy use.

District energy
|
|
|
|
Today, district heating supplies 9-10% of the European heat demand and reduces CO2 emissions by 113 million tons per year. However, annual CO2 emissions would decrease by 517 million tons if the use of district energy was doubled and the reliance on renewable energy increased.

Oil-free compressors
|
|
|
|
1.5 million tons of CO2 are saved every year through the Danfoss Turbocor compressors that are installed in commercial buildings worldwide. Today, far less than 1% of the commercial buildings have systems with these kinds of oil-free, variable speed compressors.

Cooling of food
|
|
|
|
6 million tons of CO2 are saved every year through the energy-efficient control of refrigeration in 280,000 grocery stores globally. However, less than half of modern grocery stores are doing this today.

Control valves
|
|
|
|
430,000 tons of CO2 are saved per year through the 2 million pressure independent control valves that are currently installed in buildings. However, today these kind of valves only cover 5% of the total market.

Electronic radiator thermostats
|
|
|
|
Electronic radiator thermostats can cut energy consumption by 16-23%. If all European domestic households replaced old thermostats with new electronic ones some 11 million tons of CO2 could be saved each year.
