Insights for Tomorrow

The greenest energy is the energy we don’t use

Energy efficiency ensures that each watt generated from wind and solar can stretch further, drastically cutting the cost of the green transition. By using our energy smarter, we break the curve on energy-demand. This means fewer power plants are needed, and we can more quickly meet our goals for more renewable energy.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is the quickest and most affordable way to decarbonize our economy and ensure reliable and sustainable energy for everyone on the planet.

Integrated energy systems

Creating smart energy systems that optimize the synergy between how produce and use energy can help us reach our decarbonization goals.

E-mobility

Advances in electromobility mean fully sustainable transport via road, rail, and marine is now a realistic goal.

Energy efficiency first:
It’s over 40% of the solution

The science is clear: we need to act on climate change today. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy efficiency delivers more than 40% of the reduction in energy-related emissions we need to fully achieve international climate and energy goals. The good news is energy efficiency technologies are available.

We have partnered up with Financial Times on a sponsored cover wrap.

Sønderborg to host the world’s most important conference on energy efficiency

On 8-9th June 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) will host its seventh annual global conference on energy efficiency – this time in the Danish city Sønderborg, which is working towards reaching net-zero before 2030.

The lost city of Benxi is back on the map

A few years ago, Benxi vanished in smog. Now, the old steel capital of China can breathe again. Implementing an advanced district heating system in cooperation with Danfoss has reduced annual coal use by 26,500 tons and Benxi has become a model city for excess heat utilization.

Danfoss Drives controlling the temperature at COP26

Danfoss Drives and Honeywell are proudly working together to create a healthier and more productive environment at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow during the COP26 and every day. Importantly, they improve the building environment while significantly contributing to the energy saving goals, thanks to the innovative technologies implemented at the venue.

Rethinking the water sector

The Marselisborg catchment area in Aarhus (second municipality in Denmark) has achieved more than 100% energy surplus production by minimizing consumption throughout the whole water cycle and maximizing energy production from the wastewater facility.

Digital Displacement paves the way for an off-highway revolution

From lab to market: Danfoss Digital Displacement technology is now being launched to cut fuel consumption in excavators by staggering numbers. This will have a global impact as we can save 40 million tons of CO2 – the energy use of 4.6 million homes for one year – by reducing waste heat in excavators.

Electrify heavy-duty construction machinery with Danfoss EDITRON

Danfoss Editron changes the way the world moves with electric and hybrid powertrain systems for heavy-duty commercial vehicles and machines, on both land and sea.

New sustainable landmark in Amsterdam demonstrates world-leading energy efficient office buildings

EDGE Amsterdam West is destined to become one of the most sustainable office buildings in the world. Located in Amsterdam West, the Netherlands, the 47,000m² multi-tenant office building is equipped with a smart, innovative heating and cooling solutions.

Highlighted Opinions

Soaring prices should remind decision makers that the greenest energy, is the energy we don’t use

Energy efficiency is the fastest and cheapest way to kick-start our collective efforts to reach the goals of The Paris Agreement. Unfortunately, it often seems as if that is somehow forgotten in the political debate. Read more in this opinion by Martin Rossen, Senior Vice President for Group Communications & Sustainability in Danfoss.

Energy Efficiency solutions for electrification can help deliver the Transition – with the right policies

The latest climate assessment from the IPCC has underlined the urgency for the energy sector to make the transition quickly and effectively to net zero. Vesa Laisi, President at Danfoss Drives, outlines how cutting edge technologies are ready to optimize the electricity system, streamlining supply and demand in this opinion.

Energy system integration makes decarbonization cost-efficient

This summer marked the European Commission’s release of the Fit for 55 package. One of the key things to watch will be whether the package will succeed in creating the right framework for a truly integrated energy system. This is key to achieving the 2030 ambition, especially in connection to heating and cooling buildings. Read more in this opinion by Jurgen Fischer, President, Danfoss Climate Solutions

The Green Restart Series: fueling economic recovery and climate action

24% of global CO2 are related to transport. Accelerating the electrification of transport is key to a green restart.

The technology and solutions to electrify all sorts of vehicles are ready today. The real work
lies in the scale and speed of implementation. The electrification of our transport will positively impact the environment, as well as create sustainable, long-term jobs.
