Danfoss has a shortlist of energy efficiency measures that all sites can implement
Implementing energy saving measures in its most polluting factories has enabled Denmark’s largest industrial engineering company, pump and heating specialist Danfoss, to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, while improving energy productivity
Contradiction: Danfoss produces components needed for the clean energy transition, yet in doing so its factories emit large volumes of carbon dioxide
Action: The company introduced a strategy in 2018 to halve carbon dioxide emissions and energy intensity in buildings and production processes by 2030 compared with 2007, while increasing energy productivity by 100%
Results: By the end of 2018, the firm’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions were down by 43% and 27% respectively, while energy productivity had increased by 73%
Key quote: “The greenest kilowatt hour is the one you save.” ...

Methane leaks across the supply chain need to be better measured so appropriate steps can be put in place to reduce emissions from this highly potent greenhouse gas
Research from Heat Roadmap Europe and others shows the path ahead to bring the heating and cooling sector in line with the commitments of the Paris climate agreement
Sustainable business means taking responsibility for your impact. This is the definition of carbon neutrality: reducing your emissions as much as possible and compensating for the rest.
Geothermal heating has plenty of potential as a long-term solution to decarbonise heating and cooling systems
Using waste heat from large data centres to heat homes and offices may seem like a no-brainer, but making a business case for getting heat from out-of-town data centres to urban areas at a correct temperature is complicated and costly
