Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. When that electricity comes from renewable sources, the product is called “green hydrogen.” This can then be used as a low-emissions fuel to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, long-distance shipping, and heavy industry.    Mastering the science of electrolysis is essential to decarbonize our energy system. This means we must maximize the efficiency at every step of the process.

Green hydrogen production requires large amounts of renewable electricity. Therefore, we must consider green hydrogen a scarce and expensive resource.  To leverage the benefits of green hydrogen while minimizing the cost, we must:    💠 Produce hydrogen efficiently – minimizing energy loss in conversion, aligning production with periods of excess renewable supply, and reusing excess heat generated by electrolysis.  💠 Use hydrogen wisely - deploying it only in sectors and applications where direct electrification is not immediately feasible.    For an in-depth roadmap for an efficient build out of green hydrogen, read our latest Danfoss Impact paper: https://bit.ly/4b3T5xG #DanfossImpact #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyStorage #WhyEE

On April 11, we celebrated the groundbreaking of our new campus in Haiyan, China—a significant milestone in our journey towards a sustainable future. Last week, we've taken another massive leap forward. Danfoss factories in Haiyan will soon power their operations entirely with renewable energy. We've signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) ensuring that all our operations, including the new campus, will run on renewable energy starting January 1, 2025. This transformative step will reduce our operational emissions in China by 33%, enabling us to achieve a 60% decarbonization across all operations in the region. These efforts are pivotal as we strive to meet Danfoss' global carbon neutrality goal. At the same time, it also demonstrate our strategic approach to sustainability which is the same whether we apply it to our own business or if we bring it to our customers: · Reduce – we can reduce overall energy waste by scaling energy-efficient technologies and increasing machine productivity · Reuse – we can reuse energy through energy recovery and sector coupling · Re-source – we can re-source energy, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.

This marks a significant step forward for the EU's climate agenda as the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is formally adopted. This directive is crucial for accelerating the decarbonization of EU buildings, which represent about a third of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions. Focusing on practical, cost-effective solutions can deliver significant energy and financial savings for EU citizens. Simply installing new radiator thermostats could save households up to €12 billion annually. While having hydronic balancing in heating systems could reduce energy use by approx. 22.6 million tons of oil equivalent each year!   Staged renovation, starting with implementing and optimizing Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS), coupled with heat source decarbonization, forms a robust foundation for enhancing building efficiency and reducing emissions. Congratulations once again to all of the policymakers involved in negotiating this important framework! At Danfoss, we have the solutions ready to support these initiatives and drive forward the transformation of energy efficiency in buildings across Europe.
