Danfoss

As raw materials become increasingly scarce and more costly to extract, keeping resources in circulation is crucial. Where resources are kept in circulation, waste and pollution are reduced. At Danfoss, our circularity ambition addresses our existing product portfolio and our new product development. We invest in circularity to be responsible for our own environmental impact and to maintain, and improve, our competitiveness. As part of the Circularity in Plastics (CIP) project, Danfoss and 16 industry leaders explored how to take responsibility for the end of life of products by testing take-back, disassembly, and recycling models. In Denmark alone, up to 500,000 thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) are discarded yearly, highlighting the need for circular solutions. In 2024, we tested recycling options and launched a take-back pilot to reuse these materials in new products of the same high quality Danfoss is known for, but with significantly lower embodied emissions. At the CIP Conference held last month, we unveiled a TRV prototype made from recycled plastics, demonstrating how circularity can be applied in practice. While further development is needed before the recycled TRV reaches private homes, this innovation proves that circularity is possible when industry partners collaborate.

Sønderborg is leading the charge toward a carbon-neutral future.  At Danfoss, we believe in being part of the solution to engineer a better future. Nowhere is this vision clearer than in our hometown of Sønderborg, Denmark. Featured in an article in The Times, Sønderborg’s ProjectZero has become a global model for rapid and cost-efficient decarbonization.      Danfoss’s focus on energy efficiency was a good starting point for Sønderborg, and one that other municipalities could replicate. Between 2007-2020, ProjectZero has reduced energy-related CO2 emissions by 66%, and 32% of those reductions are from energy efficiency initiatives.        ProjectZero shows that the technologies are available to drive energy efficiency, sector coupling, and electrification. It’s even good business.        “Most places in the world are hardly getting started with energy efficiency,” says Lars Tveen, Chairman of ProjectZero. “They should come here and be inspired.”       Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dNbphnVJ     #Decarbonization #EnergyEfficiency #Electrification #ProjectZero #EngineeringTomorrow #Danfoss #Sustainability #GreenTransition #Cities

Happy International Women’s Day!   At Danfoss, our foundation is our people. We offer an inspiring and inclusive workplace, where we unlock the full potential of our colleagues through empowering high-performing, diverse teams. We remain committed to fostering a culture where people are motivated and engaged, with a clear feeling of being included, valued, and respected.   However, like many others in our industry, we face systemic gender balance challenges in technical sales, operations, and engineering. To tackle these challenges, we have launched initiatives to fuel our pipeline of women leaders, including in-house and external training, mentoring and coaching programs, and talent development initiatives.   This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, is a call to keep pushing forward — ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive. By strengthening our people development efforts and focusing on inclusion and equal opportunities, we continue to drive meaningful change.   To celebrate the day, we are hosting events and programs across the globe, including in India, China, the USA, and Northern Europe, bringing our people together to inspire, engage, and accelerate action. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #WeAreDanfoss

Big news. We've just broken ground on a brand-new, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Talegaon, Pune, India. This major investment of over EUR 100 million is a huge milestone for us, doubling our India manufacturing capabilities to support India's incredible industrial growth.   The new campus will feature: -An Application Development Center (ADC) for machinery research and development -Enhanced production capacity for our existing product lines -Introduction of new product lines to meet growing customer demand -Support our global decarbonization strategy to be carbon neutral by 2030   "Our new facility will enable us to better support local customers with sustainable solutions, driving innovation and growth in India,” said Daniel Winter, President Danfoss Power Solutions. “I'm proud of our team's dedication to excellence and our commitment to supporting India's growth potential.”   Read more about the groundbreaking on our new Talegaon campus here: https://lnkd.in/g5aZNEn4   #DanfossIndia #WeAreDanfoss #DanfossNews #Danfoss #GreenGrowthDanfoss #Decarbonization #CarbonNeutral

Today is World Energy Efficiency Day!   Improving energy efficiency performance is the quickest and most affordable way to decarbonize our economy and ensure reliable and sustainable energy whilst increasing our energy resilience. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy efficiency improvements can deliver a third of the energy-related emission reductions needed to reach the 2050 Net Zero Scenario. Therefore, energy efficiency will be critical to succeed with the green transition.    At Danfoss, we believe it's time to rethink energy efficiency for an electrified energy grid based on renewable energy. This new understanding, which we call "Energy Efficiency 2.0," involves electrifying wherever possible, creating a more flexible grid, using hydrogen wisely, and integrating sectors. As Sara Vad Sørensen, VP, Head of Corporate Public Affairs at Danfoss, states: “Energy Efficiency 2.0 is the fastest and most cost-efficient way to turn a 2050 net-zero scenario into a reality and for companies to decarbonize in a competitive way.”   The solutions exist today, and they can be implemented right away. Let’s make energy efficiency the foundation of a sustainable future.   Watch our video to see how we can reshape our energy system.   Learn more about Energy Efficiency 2.0 here: https://lnkd.in/db5PeBa #EnergyEfficiencyDay #EnergyEfficiency #CompetitiveDecarbonization #Sustainability #NetZero #WhyEE #Danfoss

To enable a sustainable, cost-effective transition to net zero, it is essential that we massively accelerate the adoption of electrification and energy efficiency solutions. Danfoss Drives operates at the forefront of electrification and energy efficiency. Direct electrification lies at the heart of competitive decarbonization, shifting us away from burning fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources such as wind, water, and solar. This transition begins with advanced power modules from Semikron Danfoss, which convert and control the flow of power.  These power modules are integral to a wide range of applications; and several innovative Danfoss products enabling decarbonization, such as compressors, inverters, and drives, rely on these power modules to maximize efficiency.

Open 24/7, hospitals consume large amounts of energy, nearly three times the average commercial building. Danfoss Climate Solutions is decarbonizing healthcare with Danfoss technologies.   In 2024, Danish hospital Sygehus Sønderjylland partnered with Danfoss, the local District Heating utility, and the local municipality to develop a retrofit solution for their outdated heating and cooling system.  The hospital’s gas boilers were replaced by two highly efficient heat pumps, combined with heat recovery, to benefit from synergies between heating and cooling and ensure thermal comfort and cooling of the medical equipment.   For Sygehus Sønderjylland, the hospital expects to reduce the amount of energy it purchases by 28,300 MWh each year. During surplus periods, the hospital will be able to supply 12,500 MWh of excess heat to the district heating grid, equal to an annual heat consumption of 740 Danish households.  Read more in our Integrated Annual Report: https://bit.ly/4gX7EFX #AnnualReport #AnnualResults #Danfoss2024 #Decarbonization #CompetitiveDecarbonization #DistrictHeating #SustainableHeating #SustainableCooling #EnergyEfficiency 

As artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing grow rapidly, data centers are facing major challenges in managing the intense heat generated by advanced, power-intensive processors. That's where liquid cooling systems come in. They're up to 30% more energy-efficient than traditional air-cooling systems making them an ideal choice for AI-focused data centers. For more than two decades, Danfoss Power Solutions has designed and manufactured couplings and hoses for liquid cooling. Today, with innovative solutions across Power Solutions, Climate Solutions, and Power Electronics & Drives, Danfoss has become a trusted and preferred vendor to help data centers grow sustainably and efficiently into the future.
