The impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent and urgent, the need for a rapid and comprehensive transition to a green, low-carbon economy is more pressing than ever. Driving the green transition involves transforming our energy systems, industries, and communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. One of the companies driving the green transition is Danfoss, a leading technology partner that helps its customers to decarbonize through energy efficiency, machine productivity, low emissions, and electrification. The growth rate of Danfoss has been breathtaking: in the past five years, Danfoss has nearly doubled its size. In 2022, its turnover totaled EUR 10.3 bn, and the company employs 42,000 employees worldwide.

Danfoss’ innovative technologies enable a decarbonized, digital, and more sustainable tomorrow
At Danfoss, they live by their motto ‘The greenest energy is the energy we do not use’. “Getting more out of less is what the world needs now more than ever. An ‘energy efficiency first’ principle is instrumental to the world succeed in meeting global climate and energy goals. This principle is carried on to all Danfoss’ products and solutions of which energy efficiency takes a huge part”, explains Peter Bauer, Director of Procurement Excellence.

A prime example of this principle is Danfoss’ District Heating and Cooling (DHC) solutions that help refocus excess heat – a significant untapped energy resource – to local districts that need heating. “Danfoss has the know-how to maximize the potential of heating and cooling applications. Our technology supports a cost-efficient transition to renewable and other alternative energy sources via operational flexibility, thermal storage, and peak load mitigation”, continues Peter.

Danfoss is committed to its ambitious sustainability targets
Danfoss’ three main pillars of ESG ambitions include 1. decarbonizing the value chain and helping its customers to achieve carbon neutrality, 2. circularity, and 3. diversity & inclusion. Danfoss is committed to CO₂ neutrality by the latest 2030 (scopes 1 and 2) – supporting the Business Ambition for 1.5°C and signing up to the Science Based Targets initiative. Danfoss also innovates best-in-class circular products as the default when developing, producing, sourcing, and selling to deliver new value propositions. They focus on offering a leading employee experience that values and respects diversity and inclusion to attract and retain top talent that can lead the green transition.

“In addition, Danfoss is now working on plans to transition the company’s energy consumption to renewable sources by the latest 2030, the most prominent sources of green energy being solar farms in our North American region and wind farms mainly in Denmark and Germany. Danfoss plans to power all its North American facilities with solar energy by 2025”, says Peter and continues, “In terms of green energy, we continue toward our long-term commitment to purchase 100% renewable electricity by 2030. By purchasing green electricity where available, we can make the fastest and most significant contribution to climate action”.

Scanfil is proud to help Danfoss to create a sustainable world
Scanfil has been Danfoss’ trusted electronics manufacturing partner since 2017. During the years of cooperation, Danfoss has grown rapidly. “Being a manufacturing partner for a company such as Danfoss is truly meaningful. We manufacture products that help to achieve CO2 targets and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement” says Sami Kivelä, Global Account Manager at Scanfil and continues, “Danfoss is building a better future and we want to be part of it. We do not doubt that the rapid growth of the company will continue and the work for the more sustainable future develops even further.”

Globally nearly 1.4 trillion beverage containers are used per year. Plastic, aluminum, or glass bottles and cans have become an essential part of our daily lives. At lunch, dinner, during and after sports, and almost every occasion, we drink something which comes in a can or bottle.

You can imagine nearly 1.4 trillion cans or bottles are potentially a lot of waste. However, TOMRA doesn’t see this as a waste – they see it as a possibility to recycle and reuse.

“We, at TOMRA, have a mission of being the leader in the resource revolution by creating sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity,” says Tove Andersen, CEO at TOMRA. Tove continues, “Circular economy, an economy based on eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and the regeneration of nature – has been at the heart of TOMRA since it was established in 1972.”

TOMRA is the world leader in reverse vending machine solutions. The company has approximately 80,000 installed machines in over 60 markets. Every year TOMRA facilitates the collection of more than 40 billion empty cans and bottles and provides retailers and other customers with an effective and efficient way of collecting, sorting, and processing these containers.

“Our material recovery business includes the pick-up, transportation, and processing of used beverage containers,” explains Tove at TOMRA. “Each year, TOMRA Collection products and services contribute to about 4 million tons in avoided CO2 emissions”.

In addition to savings in CO2 emission, we can avoid plastic containers decomposing into microplastics, which is currently a huge problem to aquatic and marine ecosystems, and land resources from the mining industry when the need of virgin aluminum and silica is reduced

TOMRA is the technology leader, and Scanfil is their trusted electronics manufacturing partner

TOMRA and Scanfil have been working together for over a decade. Scanfil is the preferred electronics manufacturing partner in reverse vending machines.

“Tomra and Scanfil entered into a strategic partnership in 2005 and Scanfil has continuously developed the manufacturing and supply chain services together with Tomra in order to meet their high market demands for availability and flexibility”, says Sales Director Lars Skanke at Scanfil.

Scanfil is proud of being TOMRA’s manufacturing partner and helping them and the world recycle and recuse materials to save natural resources and reduce CO2 emissions.

Merus Power’s solutions can solve problems related to sustainable energy production

Pasi.Hiedanpaa@scanfil.com — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 08:19:06 +0000

Renewable energy, i.e., electricity created by wind, solar, hydropower, or other renewable energy sources, might bring quality issues to the electrical grid. One minute wind doesn’t blow, or the sun doesn’t shine. This creates volatility in the power grid and variances in the stream. Quality issues of the power stream can be solved with suitable filters.

“When you hear the word “filter”, you immediately think of coffee, tea, or even air ventilation. However, these aren’t the only things that can be filtered. Unwanted variances and disturbances caused, for example, by renewable energy production, industrial automation, or variable speed drives can be filtered out from electricity.” says Jonna Kannosto, Marketing and Communications Director of Merus Power.

“In addition, the electric network needs stabilization support when the amount of renewable energy production increases. Our Merus Energy Storage Solution is the perfect remedy for this as it enables the easy integration of the most sustainable energy production technologies and stabilizes the grid. There is an increasing demand for both filtering and energy storage solutions as sustainable energy production capacity is expected to at least triple by 2030.”

Merus Power designs, manufactures, and sells Finnish innovative energy storage and power quality solutions as well as services. With its operations, Merus Power enables the growth of renewable energy in power grids and improves the energy efficiency of society.

Scanfil is a trusted partner in energy quality solutions

Scanfil has been Merus Power’s electronics manufacturing partner for two years and serves Merus Power by Sievi factory in Finland.

“Our partnership with Merus Power started in 2019. Throughout the whole time, seamless and open communication has been in the important role of our relationship,” explains Jussi Mökkönen, Sales Manager at Scanfil. “The importance of a relationship had become one of the key success factors in 2020. In collaboration with Merus Power, we have been able to give long orders to semiconductor wholesalers who have improved our success in a tight market.”

Scanfil looks forward to expanding its partnership with Merus Power and helping them tap the huge market potential of their state-of-art solutions for energy storage and efficiency.
