Eco Design Regulations for Electric Motors

ELECTRIC MOTORS AND LARGE drive systems specialist Innomotics has received an order from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, to provide a rectifier power supply system for an electrolyser testing facility for green hydrogen electrolysers.

RESEARCH FROM ABB, IN collaboration with Sapio Research, has surveyed nearly 2,400 global businesses to gain insight into the state of the market around energy efficiency, sustainability, digitalisation, and the key role played by electric motors.

The AEMT has achieved CAFA (Climate Action for Associations) Certified Carbon Neutral Association status by measuring, reporting, and offsetting its carbon footprint from January 2023 to December 2023, and putting in place credible, science aligned plans to further measure and reduce its emissions.

Upgrading older motors to modern, more efficient alternatives can offer significant savings in both energy costs and emissions. However, replacing a motor with a new equivalent isn't always practical. Thankfully, as Thomas Marks, General Manager and Secretary of the Association for Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT), explains, there are other options.
