Energy efficiency in industries

Reducing production costs through energy efficiency

For energy intensive industries such as steel, chemical, paper, pharmaceutical, cement and construction materials, energy costs constitute 15-40 percent of total production costs. These production costs can be reduced by implementing energy efficiency technologies, which provide a production with the same output with a lower energy input. For companies, this leads to increased competitiveness and reduced CO₂ emissions, while addressing security of supply. Danish companies have already optimised their industrial processes, facilities and equipment, resulting in substantial reductions in their consumption of energy, water and packaging.

We invite you to explore solutions related to energy efficiency in industries in more depth below, find potential partners, catch up on the latest related news and discover real-life case examples of how energy efficiency in industries can help solve your energy challenges.
