1 Grundfos Solutions for Sustainable Water Supply Rasoul Mikkelsen Global Partnership Director Grundfos Budapest Water Summit October 8-11, 2013

2 About Grundfos Grundfos is a global leader in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology. We employ 18,000 people worldwide and produce more than 16 million pump units annually. Grundfos invests 6% of annual revenue in R&D. We contribute to global sustainability by pioneering technologies that improve quality of life for people and care for the planet. Grundfos welcomes an increasing global focus on water technologies and water efficiency for sustainable development

3 Facing the Global Water and Food Challenges of the Future: By 2030 water supply demand will exceed by 40% and food production must increase by 50%

4 Grundfos Solutions Meeting the Water-Energy Nexus with energy efficient pumps Improving Water Efficiency and Sustinable access to water through ICT with Demand Driven Distribution with Grundfos Lifelink Food-More Crop per Drop with Intelligent pumps and Irrigation

5 The Water Energy Nexus Pumps account for 10 % of the global electricity consumption Most energy production techniques consume large amount of water Significant synergies by addressing both water and energy simultaneously

6 If everyone switched to high-efficiency pumps, we could save 4% of the world s total electricity consumption equivalent to the residential electricity consumption of 1 billion people

7 Furthermore, energy efficient pumps typically have a payback period of less than two years and provide a significant return on investment And as 85% of LCC costs is associated to energy in the use phase, the savings can prove enormous

8 Improve Water Efficiency 45 million cubic meters are lost daily through water leakage in the distribution networks - enough to serve nearly 200 million people. 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% (World Bank 2006) Romania Estonia Bulgaria Latvia Lithuania Slovenia Cypres Italy Slovak France Greece Finland Portugal Ireland Spain Czech UK Hungary Belgium Poland Sweden Austria Germany Denmark Netherlands Sources: VEWA 2006 Survey (Italy, France, England & Wales); Federal Statistical Office 2004 (Germany); remainder: EU Commission 2007

9 Improve water efficiency: Demand Driven Distribution Intelligent pumping systems Design the system to supply exactly the flow you need at the pressure you need. More small pumps running at best efficiency point, instead of 1 big pump Reduce energy costs by up to 20% Reduce leakages and pressure surges in network pipes up to 20%

10 Savings by implementing controlled high efficiency Grundfos pumps Example: Drinking water Plant of m3/d Leakage saving = 20 million m3/year Energy saving = million kwh/year Cost saving (for water distribution only) = 200, ,000 Euro/year

11 Grundfos Lifelink Sustainable Access to Water through ICT A Holistic Approach: Innovative technology Sales & Service Support Innovative Business Models Cross-sector partnerships

12 Enabling Sustainability on all Levels Technical sustainability Financial sustainability Environmental sustainability Social sustainability

13 Lifelink Solutions build on 4 elements

14 70% of freshwater withdrawals is used by agriculture

15 More Crop per Drop with Grundfos Irrigation Intelligent pumps for intelligent irrigation Variable speed pumping saves energy, water, and costs Reliable ground water or surface water intake Driven by renewable energy

16 Summary: Grundfos Solutions to meet the Global Water Challenge Meeting the Water-Energy Nexus with energy efficient pumps Improving Water Efficiency with Demand Driven Distribution Sustainable access to water through ICT with Grundfos Lifelink More Crop per Drop with Intelligent Irrigation

17 Grundfos aims to constantly improve our products & operations for the benefit of tomorrow I BELIEVE THAT WE ALL WANT TO DELIVER THE WORLD TO THE NEXT GENERATION IN A BETTER STATE THAN WE INHERITED IT. NIELS DUE JENSEN, CHAIRMAN
