The time is now for industrial energy efficiency

In a new whitepaper, ABB has set out the scale of the challenge facing the global industrial sector and emphasises the critical role of industrial energy efficiency in meeting rising energy demand while strengthening energy security and affordability and driving industrial competitiveness. With 45% of the world’s electricity converted by industrial electric motors into motion, industrial energy efficiency is a part of the solution that cannot be overlooked. You can read the whitepaper here.

With best regards
