Core Challenges and Opportunities
Modern industrial enterprises face pressure from governments, society and investors for sustainable development and need to achieve green operations. As the main source of energy consumption in factories (accounting for 60%-95% of electricity consumption), optimizing the efficiency of motors can directly reduce carbon emissions and improve operational sustainability.
Solution: Altivar variable speed drives and integrated motor management
Schneider Electric's Altivar variable speed drives and EcoStruxure motor management design significantly improve energy efficiency through digitalization and automation technologies. Drives sold from 2018 to 2021 are expected to reduce 140 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions for customers. Key benefits include:
30% reduction in energy consumption (Altivar Process Drives)
20% increase in motor availability and 4 times faster recovery from unplanned downtime
40% reduction in design time and 50% reduction in downtime
Transparency tool: Energy saving calculator instantly evaluates CO₂ emission reduction and ROI
Green Certification and Circular Economy
Green Premium™ label: ensures that products comply with environmental regulations (such as RoHS, REACh), and provides material composition, carbon footprint and circularity data.
Three focus areas:
Resource and CO₂ efficiency: optimize energy use throughout the life cycle.
Circular performance: extend asset life and reduce total cost of ownership through IoT services.
Health and compliance: actively replace hazardous substances and exceed regulatory requirements.
Sustainable development mission
