Electric motors and motor systems in industrial and infrastructure applications with pumps, fans and compressors in buildings are responsible for 53% of the world’s total electricity consumption. New and existing technologies offer the potential to reduce the energy demand of motor systems across the global economy by 20% to 30% with short payback periods.
4E’s Electric Motor Systems Annex (EMSA) raises worldwide awareness of the efficiency potential of motor systems and provides guidance and tools to exploit the energy performance of new and existing motor systems worldwide.
In Europe, sensors and data-analytics for optimising motor driven systems can bring an additional 50-100 TWh electricity savings per year by 2030, together with additional benefits such as lower maintenance and production
The IEA 4E Electric Motor Systems Annex gave an input presentation during the expert panel of the event ‘Super-Efficient Appliances Pave the Way to Net-Zero’, which took place in the framework of the 7th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency.
An updated Policy Brief is now available with an overview of the 4E Electric Motor Systems Annex (EMSA) publications so far and the focus areas of EMSA’s work.
