How about collaborating with the innovative Movers?

What’s in this article:

• The Energy Efficiency Movement’s network of Movers comprises a varied selection of global players.
• Alongside major industrial leaders, the list includes a range of startups driving innovation.
• These cover areas from smart buildings management to data centers.

Industrial energy efficiency is a game anyone can play. Just look at the long list of Movers signed up to the Energy Efficiency Movement. With more than 500 members from 40-plus countries and 20-plus industries, the movement includes everything from one-man-bands to global industrial leaders.

The latter include major industry players such as Flowserve Corporation , Rexel and Energy Efficiency Movement founder members ABB and Alfa Laval . Alongside these, there is another group that deserves special attention and could help you in implementing your next energy efficiency initiative.

These young companies are bringing innovation to industrial energy efficiency, developing processes and technologies that could have an outsized impact on the carbon and cost savings that other businesses like yours can achieve. To name but a few:

•  The Canadian firm BrainBox AI , whose energy-saving smart building management systems feature in the Energy Efficiency Movement’s Energy Efficiency Playbook, has technology that can help reduce carbon emissions from heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, while cutting energy costs. The company also has products for multi-site energy management, building decarbonization and facilties managers, plus a guide on how to create net-zero buildings.
• EcoDigital AG of Switzerland is focused on energy efficiency in data centers and high-performance computing arrays. EcoDigital’s innovations in driving digital technology efficiencies include using artificial intelligence-based optimization of data centers and the recovery of computational heat for industrial applications such as district heating. Data centers are an important focus for energy efficiency, with The Case for Industrial Energy Efficiency report estimating that moves to cloud computing could deliver 197 metric megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent of annual global emissions reductions by 2030. This is under a moderate ambition scenario—where 87% of industrial data workloads are hosted in the cloud.
• Dutch startup Gradyent has developed digital twin technology for district heating grids. A digital twin is a software-based model of a physical asset or system, with enough detail to run reliable simulations without having to mess around with the real thing. Gradyent says its technology is helping district heating grids to cut heat loss, reduce emissions and save on fuel costs. All of this can help improve the profitability of projects by up to six percentage points and cut capital expenditure requirements by 20%, according to Gradyent.

 There are many more such innovative companies in the Movers directory, offering solutions fostering energy efficiency. They include for example the U.S. heat pump maker Sencera International , the Swiss energy efficiency finance advisory firm Solas Capital AG and  the Indian smart air compressor specialist Utvyakta Solutions.

If you are looking for innovative partners to connect with and develop and execute your energy efficiency plans, then take a look at the Movers for these and other promising companies.

And if you are involved in a startup that is working in the industrial energy efficiency space, and have not yet joined the Energy Efficiency Movement, then it’s time to sign up now.
