- 这个耗资2500万英镑的低碳创新中心位于爱丁堡的Shawfair商业园区，将容纳Danfoss团队，从事下一代，气候友好技术的水力，数字化和电气化。
- 低碳创新中心将是世界上第一座在运营碳中立的Danfoss建筑，这标志着该公司在2030年之前朝着碳中性业务迈出的重要一步。
- Danfoss的英国低碳创新中心将于2022年底全面运作。
Danfoss已获得Midlothian理事会的规划许可，为英国爱丁堡的2500万英镑低碳创新中心提供了规划许可。该中心位于Shawfair商业园区，将为从事下一代，气候友好技术的Danfoss团队提供住所，数字化和电气化技术还包括新的制造设施。
该设施占地75,000平方英尺，将成为Danfoss数字流离失所技术的卓越中心。数字排量从根本上提高了高速公路和工业应用中的生产率和控制，同时可大大减少CO2排放。
该中心还将容纳Danfoss Power Solutions的电气化部门Danfoss Editron，并在重型商用车（EPIC）计划的电动动力总成集成中锚定活动。Together with partners Meritor and Electra Commercial Vehicles, Danfoss Editron has secured funding from the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre and Innovate UK to develop a next-generation, zero-emission electric powertrain for commercial vehicles, providing OEMs with an advanced solution designed to meet global CO2 reduction targets. The new center will become Danfoss’ UK headquarters for decarbonization programs.
The UK Low-Carbon Innovation Center will be the first building in Danfoss’ global portfolio to be operationally carbon-neutral, an important first step for the company to achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral in all of its global operations by 2030. The building will recover energy used during production and testing processes as its primary heating source, with a heat pump available as a backup if required. The building’s electricity consumption will also be covered by a Green Power Purchase Agreement. According to estimates, the annual energy savings for heating the center will be approximately 75% less than a conventional, similar-sized building.
Commenting on receiving confirmation of the planning approval, Danfoss‘ Digital Displacement Operational Director Brian Kennedy said: “These are exciting times for Scotland, with the critical COP26 Climate Change Conference scheduled to take place in Glasgow later this year where we will be presenting our technologies, products and solutions front and center. Investing £25 million into this new UK Low-Carbon Innovation Center demonstrates our commitment to our 2030 carbon neutrality goal and aligns with the goals and vision of COP26.”
全球研发，Danfoss Power Solution兼英国低碳创新中心执行赞助商Jeff Herrin补充说：我们新的英国低碳创新中心和内部的改变游戏规则的技术将通过采取实际行动并将世界上最好的技术思想融合在一起，以提高我们的决心和领导地位。
Danfoss UK低碳创新中心将在2022年底之前全面运营。开幕时，Danfoss预计将有110个团队成员设在该设施中，其中30名将成为新员工。低碳创新中心的最大容量约为200，丹佛斯估计将在开业后四年内达到。
