Costs of Energy are rising and availability is tight. Especially the prices of electric power and gas have doubled in the last year. The energy crisis couldn´t be more noticeable.
In addition to that, Climate Change requires drastic measures in industry such as reducing its emissions and increasing energy efficiency to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Fossil fuels, natural gas, coal and mineral oils will soon be the past as renewable energies such as solar energy, wind energy or biogas take over the market.
Eaton ist part of that recent developement and helps customers to overcome this change with cost efficient solutions. Newly developed products bring innovative solutions for upcoming issues in this transition phase.
Solar Power is currently one of the biggest renewable energy resources. Using the sun instead of fossil fuels will in the long run not only be environmentally friendlier but also cheaper in costs. Discover more about inverter technology in the OEM segment
Next to the classical renewable energies there is one mostly unknown power source which is biogas. Not only individuals but also the industry especially the food and beverage manufacturing is producing a lot of biological/organic waste that is currently not being used. 46% of the power that is produced in gas-fired power stations can be replaced by using this waste and turning it in to biogas. Trash cans for organic waste are establsihed in more and more communities anyways so this development can be used to create energy.
One of our costumers is Flexbio. Not only do they clear waste water and make it usable again, they as well recover energy and nutrients out of it with Eaton products making their system work.
The Eaton Solution partner iSatt and Milde-Hydraulik delivered an automated leakage monitoring system for the hydraulic pumps for the bio gas production in agriculture. The customer receives a solution from a single source that significantly reduces the time and effort required for leakage pump maintenance. Because of the IoT connection it enables event-based maintenance, a reduction in service intervals and thus significant cost savings.
