Today’s energy challenges
Cut link between growth, energy use and emissions
Meeting these challenges requires the world to:
Reduce the correlation

High-efficiency motors
About two-thirds of electricity consumed
by industry is used to run electric motors
Cost of buying a motor is ca. 3% of its
lifetime cost: energy consumption is ca.
94% (and rest is maintenance)
One high efficiency 75 MW motor (3%
higher than ”standard” efficiency*) can
save 23,000 kWh, corresponding to
11.5 tons of CO2, in one year of
continuous operation
A single pulp and paper factory can
have 2,000 motors running continuously

approach
Fronte legislativo
In France, a law is going to require that all high volume
consumer products sold in France must bear an EPD,
designed in accordance with the guidance produced by the
French Standardization body, AFNOR (Association
Française de Normalisation). That requirement comes into
force at the end of 2010. We can expect the other EU
countries to follow soon afterwards.
Due to new law « Grenelle de l’Environnement », the
products dedicated to B to C and use for building segment
must have a environmental written information:
Product for B to C: Platform ADEME Environmental
information
Product for Building segment: Must have a completed
file (FDES Fiche de donnée environnementale et
Sanitaire) accessible in database INIES

Customers requests - 1
E.g. In each order (or contract) placed by ….. and its affiliates to
any company of the ABB group ("ABB"), there is a contractual
requirement to communicate the greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions associated with the supply included in the order.
The GHG covered in the inventory are the GHG of the Kyoto
Protocol:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC)
-
Perfluorocarbons (PFC)
- Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)

Customer requests - 2
The scope of supply delivered could include ABB products, products
of third companies, freight, services and travel.
For the current process, there are two kinds of ABB products:
a) ABB products with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
ABB has published EPD for more than 80 products. Therefore,
when any of these products/products families are specified in an
order/contract, ABB can supply the existing GWP data for that
product, rather than making a new calculation.
b) ABB products without EPD
For many ABB products, there is no EPD and the GWP should be
calculated or estimated. A tool allows the calculation or the
estimation of this data.

Mission AssoSCAI
Nel Marzo 2006 nasce con lo scopo
di sviluppare e promuovere una
cultura d’impresa, nella quale la
gestione ambientale sia adottata
per contribuire ad una maggiore
competitività sul mercato nazionale
e internazionale.
