Sustainability
• Efforts to raise the industry’s level of sustainability include increasing
production from recycled scrap metals. Producing steel from recycled
scrap requires 1/8th of the energy needed to produce steel from iron ore.
• ABB can support producers with drives and motors for shredders,
conveyors and other scrap management equipment.

Energy efficiency

cost of steel
High efficiency motors can play a major role in cutting emissions, and the savings are
especially significant for variable loads utilizing rotating applications driven by electric
motors, where electricity consumption is the largest single cost factor during their lifetime.
Combining high efficiency motors with variable speed drives further boosts the savings.
Many pump and fan applications that need a variable rate of flow are operated with the
motor running at full speed and a mechanical throttle, valve, or vent to restrict the flow
to the required level. Using a variable speed drive to regulate the speed of the motor
according to the needs of the process can produce significant energy savings. Replacing
direct-on-line starting with a high efficiency drive-motor package can lower energy
costs by up to 60 percent. In processing lines involving cyclic or continuous braking, a
regenerative drive can recover braking energy and feed it back to the network for use by
other equipment.
Cost of energy 20%
Our advisory and modernization solutions for aging rotating equipment not only extend

reduced electricity consumption. You will have a transparent overview of when your energy cost
equipment might become obsolete, while offering you a seamless transition between old saving
and new products for a continuous service support and to avoid premature scrapping.
Moreover, our digital solutions enable you to analyze your operational data more
intelligently, providing insights to energy efficiency improvements and help you to
reduce carbon emissions and bring down your overall operation and maintenance costs.
