Electric motors account for over 40 percent of global electricity consumption; by far the largest single contribution to end-use electricity consumption.
Preliminary analysis
indicates that approximately 160 TWh of final energy and 80 million metric tons of CO2 emissions can be saved in 2030 by adopting the world’s best efficiency standards in participating Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) economies. To date, more than 45 economies around the world have developed minimum efficiency standards or labeling programs for motors.
