Energy Price Shift
Carbon Rates soaring
Net Zero Ambitions
Volatile energy prices are here to stay
Solutions
Facing the challenges
There is no single overarching solution. We will need to combine them all. But more importantly, we need to act now. Implementing Energy Efficiency solutions as a first step will accelerate your progress and slingshot your budget.
Energy efficiency
Using less energy to perform the same task or produce the same result is the quickest way forward. QHT technology pursues this goal by recovering and reusing otherwise expelled waste heat.
Energy substitution
Finding commercially viable and durable alternative feedstock is at the heart of the energy transition. Together, we have agreed to phase out all grey energy consumption in the future.
Carbon Capture
Carbon Capturing and Sequestration, along with its reapplication (Utilisation) are necessary intermediate steps that will be relevant far beyond the 2050 milestone.
Carbon offsetting
A carbon offset is a reduction or removal of emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. Offsets are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent.
10x less electricity consumption compared to conventional heat pump technologies
Requires only a fraction of Scope 2 energy and technology sourcing
Requires only a fraction of the maintenance for it has no rotating components
Industry consumes a quarter of all energy
Contrary to public belief, the bulk of our energy is consumed while generating heat, not electricity.
This is particularly true for process industries, where heat is pervasive in the processes that produce the feedstock for the industrial sector as well as finished products for the consumer market. Surprisingly, when we introduced Qpinch at McKinsey’s 2017 SRP Summit in Stockholm, some of the attendees were equally astonished to learn that the industrial energy mix is very much biased towards natural gas and other fuels – not electricity.
International Energy Agency Governing Board Chairman Noé van Hulst pointed out in his commentary to the release of the agency’s Energy Efficiency Market Report 2016 that “energy efficiency is [the] energy resource that all countries have in abundance.”
