ABB Collaborates with Microsoft on Energy Efficiency to Reinforce Commitment to Low-carbon Society
ABB與微軟展開能效合作,加強對低碳社會的承諾
ABB announced that Microsoft has joined its Energy Efficiency Movement. Launched in March 2021 by ABB, the #energyefficiencymovement is a multi-stakeholder initiative to raise awareness and spur action to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions to combat climate change. Companies are invited to join the movement and make a public pledge as a way of inspiring others to take action. Microsoft represents one of the largest corporate partners to join the initiative to date.
ABB宣布微軟已加入其“節(jié)能增效行動”(#energyefficiencymovement)。節(jié)能增效行動是ABB于2021年3月發(fā)起的一項面向各利益相關(guān)方的倡議,旨在提高節(jié)能減排意識并加大行動力度,應(yīng)對氣候變化。ABB也邀請其他公司參加該計劃并做出公開承諾,以激勵更多企業(yè)采取行動。微軟是目前參與該行動的最大的企業(yè)合作伙伴之一。
Energy efficiency is taking on greater urgency throughout industry as companies look for opportunities to decarbonize amid soaring energy costs and pressure from customers, employees and governments to make strides on sustainability. A recent survey commissioned by ABB found that energy efficiency is clearly top of mind for executives around the world. It revealed that 89% of industrial leaders surveyed will increase investment in the energy efficiency of their operations in the coming five years, with 54% aiming to achieve net-zero emissions in that timeframe.
隨著能源成本的飆升,以及來自客戶、員工與政府在可持續(xù)發(fā)展方面的壓力,企業(yè)積極尋找脫碳機會,提高能源效率在整個工業(yè)領(lǐng)域變得更加緊迫。ABB近期委托開展的一項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),能效已成為全球高管們最為關(guān)心的問題。調(diào)查顯示,89%的受訪工業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者表示將在未來五年增加能源效率方面的投資,54%的受訪企業(yè)計劃在此期間實現(xiàn)凈零碳排放。
For its part, ABB reduced greenhouse gas emissions from its operations in 2021 by some 28% on a year-over-year basis. In its comprehensive Sustainability strategy 2030, ABB has affirmed it will reach carbon neutrality by decade’s end. Beyond its own operations, ABB has also committed to help its customers in reducing their annual CO2 emissions by at least 100 megatons by 2030, the equivalent of removing 30 million combustion cars from the roads each year. With partners like Microsoft, Deutsche Post DHL Group and Alfa Laval, the ABB Energy Efficiency Movement brings together an ecosystem of like-minded industry leaders to accelerate efforts in decarbonization.
2021年,ABB自身運營中的溫室氣體排放量同比減少約28%。根據(jù)2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略,ABB將在2030年前實現(xiàn)自身運營碳中和,并承諾支持客戶每年減少超過1億噸二氧化碳排放,相當(dāng)于3000萬輛燃油汽車的年排放量。通過與微軟、德國郵政敦豪集團和阿法拉伐等企業(yè)開展合作,ABB“節(jié)能增效行動”匯聚了一批志同道合的行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者共同構(gòu)建生態(tài)系統(tǒng),加速脫碳進程。
Having recently celebrated five years of successful collaboration in the context of ABB Ability, ABB’s portfolio of digital solutions, the announcement regarding the Energy Efficiency Movement further cements Microsoft and ABB’s joint efforts to push technology boundaries in empowering customers to address sustainability. Using Microsoft Azure’s platform-as-a-service capability, along with AI and machine learning-based analytics, cloud computing and edge technologies, ABB Ability solutions are powering a range of industrial use cases that help organizations optimize how they make use of energy in powertrains, facilities and other physical assets. A new ABB whitepaper highlights some of the opportunities presented by digitalization and the industrial Internet of Things in bringing about more energy-efficient operations.
ABB和微軟在ABB Ability數(shù)字化解決方案領(lǐng)域已成功合作五年,雙方在“節(jié)能增效行動”中的合作進一步強化了拓展技術(shù)邊界、賦能客戶可持續(xù)發(fā)展的共同努力。利用微軟Azure平臺即服務(wù)功能,以及基于人工智能和機器學(xué)習(xí)的分析、云計算及邊緣計算技術(shù),ABB Ability解決方案正應(yīng)用于眾多工業(yè)領(lǐng)域,幫助用戶優(yōu)化其動力傳動系統(tǒng)、設(shè)施及其他固定資產(chǎn)的能源利用。
