Alfa Laval announces it is the first company to join ABB’s energy efficiency movement
During a COP26 event, Alfa Laval was announced as the first company to officially join ABB’s newly launched energy efficiency movement, a multi-stakeholder initiative to raise awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency solutions to accelerate the transition towards decarbonization, according to the company's release.
ABB, a leading global technology company, launched its #energyefficiencymovement in March 2021 to initiate action to reduce energy consumption as this is the most efficient way to cut carbon emissions and combat climate change. Alfa Laval shares ABB’s vision.
Energy efficiency can deliver a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 40 percent over the next 20 years according to the IEA (International Energy Agency), with 50 percent of that reduction coming from the industrial sector. Alfa Laval’s compact plate heat exchanger technology is 20-50 percent more energy efficient than conventional technology. Driving plate heat exchanger implementation through partnerships is one of the company’s main ambitions that can accelerate the transition towards more responsible energy supply. In addition, Alfa Laval continuously works to improve its own processes, in production, service and products and has set the target of improving energy efficiency (MWh/Direct hours) by 5 percent by 2023 compared to 2020.
ABB is a leading global technology company that energizes the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future. By connecting software to its electrification, robotics, automation and motion portfolio, ABB pushes the boundaries of technology to drive performance to new levels. With a history of excellence stretching back more than 130 years, ABB’s success is driven by about 105,000 talented employees in over 100 countries.
