Here’s how we make a difference:

Electrification, power conversion, and the green transition

As the world is looking to accelerate the green transition, new technological advances improve the viability of renewables as low-cost alternatives to traditional power sources. It is said that the electrification megatrend will increase green energy to match the world’s growing electricity demand. Low-emission sources will make up nearly 50% of the world’s electricity supply by 2026.

Green hydrogen: produce and use wisely

If we want to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, such as heavy industry, green hydrogen is going to play a crucial role. To advance the new era of green hydrogen, we need to produce it efficiently and use it wisely. This means thinking strategically about how, when, and where we produce and consume hydrogen in its various forms.

Danfoss offers grid-friendly and efficient power conversion solutions and products, meticulously designed and proven to deliver maximum energy efficiency. Featuring low harmonics and an adjustable power factor, our solutions ensure a cost-effective power supply for your electrolyzer, bolstering your green initiatives.
