Reducing Emissions While Driving Profits: How Danfoss Is Leading Through Innovation

"In 2018, heat accounted for 50% of global final energy consumption.

Energy is being wasted everywhere. In the US, 65% of all the energy produced is squandered in the form of waste heat. There is tremendous potential in reusing heat that would otherwise be wasted, also known as ”excess heat.”"

Companies today face increasing pressure from stakeholders to reduce their environmental impact. But sustainability initiatives don't have to hurt profits - forward-thinking organizations like Danfoss show how environmental innovation can boost the bottom line.

In a recent report, Danfoss highlighted an innovative solution they implemented for a supermarket in Denmark. By capturing excess heat from the store's refrigeration systems and repurposing it to heat the building and surrounding homes, the supermarket was able to slash its energy costs by 78% while reducing carbon emissions.

The simple, replicable solution utilizes smart "sector integration" to turn waste into profit. Danfoss has provided global templates and tools for stakeholders to implement similar sustainable revenue opportunities across industries.

Companies clinging to outdated linear production models will soon be left behind. Danfoss provides an inspirational model for how strategic investment in sustainability can deliver transformative efficiency gains, cost savings, and competitive advantage.

The commercial case for green innovation is clear. Forward-looking organizations must embed environmental stewardship into their cultures and processes. The future of business is circular - and purpose-driven brands like Danfoss are leading the way.
