Driving efficiency and competitive decarbonization: New insights from Danfoss

Expert deep dive: Energy efficiency in motor applications

Electric motors, such as those found on assembly lines at factories, consume a significant portion of global electricity. And many operate continuously at full speed, even though lower speeds are enough to do the job, most of the time. It’s hugely inefficient.

Variable speed drives (VSDs) intelligently adjust motor speed to match real-time requirements, reducing overall energy use by 40% or even more, while maintaining the same productivity.

Decarbonization cannot be achieved working in silos and close partnerships have never been more important. In our new Decarbonization Explained series, we bring together industry experts, partners, and customers to share best practices on how we can speed up decarbonization across sectors.

Join Larisa Xanthopoulou, our Sustainability Manager at Danfoss Drives for an even closer look at how the technology works. Check out the new deep dive video that expands on our recent release of Decarbonization Explained Episode 1: How we decarbonize industry.

How we decarbonize our operations: Danfoss headquarters, Nordborg

We use our own technologies to decarbonize our global campuses – demonstrating the impact of competitive decarbonization.

The 250,000 sqm Danfoss headquarter campus in Nordborg, Denmark, reached CO2-neutrality in 2022. Here - seeing is believing.

By decarbonizing its own operations globally, Danfoss applies the same approach with its customers. It’s called: Reduce, Reuse, Re-source.

Decarbonizing is not only the right thing to do – it is also good business

The new Danfoss Impact paper, “Competitive decarbonization: Powering the industries of tomorrow,” provides a clear guide for how companies can strengthen their competitive advantage through decarbonization, electrification, and energy efficiency.

With existing technologies, companies can: 

• Increase energy efficiency to reduce emissions and costs

• Electrify machinery to phase out fossil fuels

• Unlock access to green investments
