At this year’s EE Global Forum in Copenhagen, EP100 members Johnson Controls and Danfoss will share their experiences of making smarter use of energy to lower their emissions and costs.
EE Global 2018 is organized by the Alliance to Save Energy and the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency, and supported by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Taking place May 21-22, the conference convenes business executives, government leaders and advocates from around the world to explore best practice on energy efficiency and discuss the policies needed to spur further action.
Johnson Controls and Danfoss are both members of EP100, a global corporate energy efficiency drive led by The Climate Group in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy.
The companies are investing in energy-saving measures and technological innovation to double their energy productivity by 2030 (from 2007 and 2009 levels respectively) – meaning there will be twice the economic output from every unit of energy they consume.
The benefits of energy productivity
Being smart about energy use makes financial sense, with tangible business benefits on offer. Global technology and industrial leader Johnson Controls is already reporting cost savings of over US$100 million from a 2002 baseline after joining EP100 two years ago. Even though energy productivity has increased over 90% since 2002, the company sees lots of additional opportunities for energy and cost savings.
Danfoss has already increased its energy productivity by 77% since 2007. Reducing its energy consumption in buildings by a third has lowered energy costs for buildings by 44%, saving the company US$ 10.7 million (€9 million) per year – a figure expected to increase significantly on reaching its EP100 target.
“The global potential for energy productivity is vast and we are leading the way in Danfoss by showing that a 7-8 percent improvement in efficiency per year is economically viable and good business for Danfoss and the planet” said Flemming Lynge Nielsen, Sustainability Director, Danfoss.
The huge cost savings enable EP100 members to grow sustainably and increase their competitiveness, while lowering emissions and inspiring others to follow – accelerating a cleaner economy.
