Grundfos launches 'Hard energy facts. Intelligent answers.' campaign to support industrial decarbonisation and energy savings

Grundfos, a global leader in advanced pumps and solutions for the world’s water and climate challenges, is rolling out a ‘Hard energy facts. Intelligent answers.’ campaign to highlight the benefits of intelligent e-pumps and systems. The intelligent solutions improve energy efficiency, reduce costs and optimise performance in many industrial processes to help the industry sector save energy and decarbonise.

Pumps account for 25% of all electricity consumed by industrial electric motors, and with electricity generation often relying on fossil fuels, it also results in significant CO₂ emissions — but the potential to reduce both energy use and emissions is vast.

Many industrial actors are already taking action by setting science-based targets or getting net zero plans approved. Grundfos is taking a so-called All-E approach to support the industrial sector, delivering intelligent, connected, energy-efficient e-pump solutions and systems that offer immediate energy cost savings and bring high performance and reliability while reducing carbon emissions.

“Many of our customers are committed to sustainability and have ambitions to lower their carbon emissions. With our e-pumps that are equipped with variable frequency drives, they can reduce emissions and save energy and costs while ensuring reliable, high performance at all times. Our experience, solutions and own science-based climate targets mean we know what good looks like, and the campaign showcases the game-changing solutions that can make a sustainable impact,” says one of the key account managers at Grundfos.

As the world’s first water solutions company with approved net-zero Science-Based Targets, Grundfos is determined to help decarbonise industrial applications. The company is committed to reaching net zero by 2050 and strives to help customers reduce emissions and reach their own sustainability targets.

Grundfos’ wide range of intelligent e-pumps and energy optimisation solutions and services are available today, offering the following key benefits:

Significant energy and cost savings

Most industrial systems run at full speed all the time. By using intelligent, connected and energy-efficient e-pump solutions instead of standard solutions, it’s possible to reduce energy consumption by as much as 37%.

Optimised system performance

By combining energy-efficient pumps, motors and drives, it’s possible to create an intelligent and connected solution that can improve the entire system. Integrated frequency converter and intelligent features make installation, operation and service exceptionally easy.

CO₂ emission reductions

E-pumps and other intelligent components can connect and communicate with each other to adapt to actual demands, thereby reducing CO₂ emissions. 

Reduced service and maintenance

Intelligent, connected solutions like e-pumps can communicate with the entire system, reducing wear and tear. In addition to immediate energy consumption savings, e-pump solutions also offer significant reductions in service and maintenance costs, enabling users to get more out of a system.  

Reduced lifecycle costs

The variable-speed drive’s ability to continually adapt to actual application demands combined with the highest possible efficiency on the pump and motor helps reduce lifecycle costs.
