ENERGY EFFICIENCY
IS A WIN-WIN SOLUTION
We are facing a dual challenge.
We need to de-carbonize heat,
electricity, chemicals and fuels-
-if we want to live up to our
commitment to the Paris agreement.
And if we want at the same time not
to sacrifice our standard of living-
-and foster economical
and social growth-
-then energy efficency
is at the center of this challenge.
And actually energy efficiency is
considered as the biggest single-
-contributor to meet the
Paris agreement with-
-a 45% reduction of CO2-emissions
coming from energy efficiency.
HOW DOES ALFA LAVAL CONTRIBUTE TO
SAVING ENERGY AND REDUCING EMISSIONS?
With heat exchangers there are
three main methodologies-
-to drive energy efficiency.
The first one is improving
an existing installation.
Our plate heat exchangers are
20 to 50% more efficient-
-than the traditional
shell and tube technologies.
The second way is
to secure a good-
-operation of existing
heat exchangers.
And the third way is actually to
hunt for waste energy stream-
-that can be re-used
for other purposes.
Every year, the savings of
Alfa Laval heat exchangers-
-that are newly installed,
correspond to 50 GW-
-of energy recovery.
50 GW is the equivalent
of the power needed-
-to heat 10 million
homes in Europe.
This is a huge impact...isn't it?
WHAT ARE THE CUSTOMER
BENEFITS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY?
Energy efficiency projects offer
typically a very good pay-back-
-and usually a very low risk-
-because they are using very
well proven technologies.
It also offers a competitive
edge for our customers-
-and of course it is also a
key element on the journey-
-to reach a carbon neutral target.
A journey that many
companies are starting now.
Energy efficiency is a win-win.
It's a good pay-back and
good for the bottom line-
-and it's good for the planet.
We have the technologies.
We just need to make it happen.
We will survive, we will solve it!
