FORT SMITH, Ark., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this
month, ABB hosted an exclusive virtual roundtable discussion to
give members of the media an opportunity to learn more and ask
questions about the energy efficiency movement being championed by
the company. The event explored the practical benefits and data of
integrating high-efficiency solutions into existing industrial and
commercial infrastructure to affordably and immediately reduce the
impact of climate change. Attendees participating in the roundtable
heard from featured guests including Dr. Prakash Rao, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory research scientist and co-author of a recent report
entitled U.S. Industrial and Commercial Motor System Market
Assessment Report; ABB's NEMA Motor Division President
Jesse Henson, and ABB Motion
President Morton Wierod.
During the discussion, participants in the roundtable learned
that U.S. businesses have an immediate opportunity to collectively
reduce electricity consumption, significantly slow the rate at
which they are contributing to climate change, and mitigate the
risk of overregulation in their industry. An assessment of the
current climate change situation shows that these goals can all be
achieved by upgrading outdated industrial infrastructure with new
generation energy-efficient technologies, such as high-efficiency
motors and variable speed drives.
"Now every commercial building and industrial process can be a
part of a change in our climate and a solution. Motors and drives
together just make the world a better place. By choosing to invest
in these technologies and reducing the amount of electricity we
consume, we can make a difference," Henson said. "ABB is a part of
the solution for a better planet. I believe it is our duty to make
a difference for a better tomorrow. But we need your help to get
the message out about this invisible climate solution."
Roundtable participants discussed how in most cases, businesses
employing this strategy can achieve a full return on the cost to
install new generation technology within approximately two years of
the original investment with the savings gleaned as a result of
overall reduction in electricity consumption.
