By promoting the use of phase carbon emissions, improve enterprise's climate action

challenge

Manufacturing enterprise's carbon emissions most often come from "indirect" (i.e., product sales after using phase emissions), the companies want to realize the whole value chain net zero emissions targets should be how to do?

To the production of electric class industrial products manufacturers, and even the entire industry, carbon emissions is often not at production stage, but in the phase of product use, by the energy consumption, the use phase is usually in the value chain and produce (Scope of three, class 11).

Although indirect emissions come not from the enterprise itself, but if a company wants to take ambitious, influence of climate action, indirect emissions must be considered.Global water technology solutions for enterprise grundfos take active measures to face the challenge.In understanding the scope of three positive influence to reduce emissions, and realize the goal of zero net after the significance, grundfos hope that through in the form of carbon targets set science, strengthen the implementation of climate action.But before take any action, grundfos need to understand the challenges as well as the realization of the goal setting scientific carbon net zero target path planning.

About science carbon targets (SBTs)

Enterprises need to set and control the global temperature rise in the Paris agreement is far less than 2 ° C goals of carbon reduction target range (3), a van, secondly, 1.5 degrees.

Net zero emissions targets set at the same time, need to be on the basis of scientific carbon targets, determine the enterprise in order to meet the requirements of the global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius scene and long-term measures need to be taken.

The solution

The net zero emissions targets as the core of enterprise strategy

Carbon trust had already support grundfos to measure the carbon footprint of the value chain, and in 2021 the first target modeling based on science.Under this background, the carbon trust in 2022 to help grundfos again calculate your carbon footprint, and focused on the planning of net zero discharge path provides advice, specific content is as follows:

uncovered

Through range one, two and three carbon footprint calculation results, the updated grundfos carbon baseline.Through the calculation, we found that the use phase emissions is one of the largest source of emissions, enterprises accounted for 99% of total emissions.This again proves that the grundfos need to solve the range of three, the importance of class 11 emissions

Reporting

Adjust the climate targets - by 2030, the range and scope of 2 absolute emissions will be on the basis of 2020 decreased by 50%;Scope of three absolute emissions will reduce by 25% in 2020.In addition, under the technical support of the carbon trust, grundfos has sent a scientific SBTi carbon target application, and has set up a successful approved

The value chain

Suggestions are put forward according to the strategy of net zero and share implement path, such as remove residual emissions, optimize the product design and product portfolio, to set up the closed loop recycling, and a series of action plan

The Business case

With grundfos together to carry out the calculation, in 2030 in order to learn about the five types of energy-saving products and services to the potential impact of carbon abatement.Including district heating, commercial and industrial solutions of cooling system optimization of digital solutions

Grundfos promised three emissions through a variety of ways to reduce scope, including:

  • Improve product efficiency
  • Thinking about how to extend the service life of the product
  • Looking for business to replace and/or service mode
  • Start the suppliers to participate in the plan, to match the grundfos for carbon reduction
  • Embedding the circular economy grundfos business model
impact

Leading to a net zero discharge of the future

Grundfos SBTi approval of climate commitment with the target, which means that the carbon emissions reduction targets set by the conform to the climate science as well as in line with the requirements of global net zero ambitious goals.Set goals underscores the grundfos commitment to carbon emissions, and made the clear strategy of net zero emissions by 2050.This will help to grundfos:

Circular process

Through the adoption of a more sustainable business model innovation, to prepare for the future of net zero, let its business for the future

amplifying

Enhance brand reputation - climate preferred consciousness and decisive action

Icon lightbulb

Industry to stand out - grundfos became the first in the field of water technology solution approved by SBTi and set net zero goal of enterprise

people

Industry set an example -- grundfos achievements show that even in carbon reduction industry faces challenges, to net zero may also be implemented.Through such a move would give in the same industry, or other industries, enterprises and institutions to encourage carding model, and common thinking about how to promote the use of phase carbon emissions

Under the technical support of the carbon trust, we set up by far the most ambitious long-term climate goals.Thanks to the carbon trust in the field of low carbon deep industry accumulation, professional knowledge, set up a clear path for us, and give us the net zero emissions.Among them, the feasibility analysis of related support is of great help to us, through this analysis, we know not only realize the goal of zero net method, but also to ensure that our customers reduce the cost of the use of energy consumption.By grundfos joint efforts with customers, we have to show our determination, namely the whole value chain emissions is challenging, we grasped the nettle, have the courage to face, and grasp the opportunity.
