Industrial Sustainability - The Time for Action is Now!
Combating climate change is a serious challenge, with a nearly overwhelming array of issues to overcome. Sustainability-minded people do their best to lessen their personal carbon footprint by using public transportation, driving an EV, cutting back on energy usage, etc. But the biggest culprit in carbon emissions is industry, representing an estimated 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the US, for example.
Fortunately, the industrial sector represents a unique opportunity to address key sources of emissions at scale, and there is ample incentive to take corrective action thanks to cost savings, evolving regulations, and a need for more resilient energy grids. It has been estimated electric motors represent approximately 70% of industrial electricity consumption as they drive pumps, fans, compressed air systems, material handling, and processing systems. This makes motors an especially promising opportunity to address carbon emissions through technologies that allow them to perform much more efficiently, particularly for large-scale manufacturers willing to invest in retrofits that drive energy efficiency.
Key for manufacturers will be how they partner with companies within the ecosystem, as a variety of experience and connections will be important for deploying more energy efficient motor technology at scale. The scope of the challenge is significant, but collaborating with the right players in industry, technology, and government will be important to achieving energy efficiency goals in industry and our world.
