How our net-zero approach helps industry with their sustainability agenda
Grundfos has set 2050 net-zero targets and near-term 2030 emission reduction targets as part of our long-term sustainability approach. Watch our explainer about the Grundfos sustainability agenda, our journey towards meeting our net zero targets and how this helps our customers and partners.
Pumping the 1.3 billion m3 of water used by industry each year consumes a lot of energy. Industry is one of the most energy consuming sectors, and pump systems may account for up to 40% of industrial energy usage*. On average Grundfos E-pumps consume 37% less energy than standard pumps, which is good for your business and contributes positively to emissions reduction. Grundfos E-pumps are an example of how we develop solutions that not only consume less energy but also use the available energy more efficiently.
We are committed to taking even greater responsibility for the carbon that is emitted – not only when we manufacture our products but also for the energy they consume when in use. In fact, 99% of our CO2 emissions come from using the products we sell. By accelerating our own transformation to a net-zero future we are also helping our customers save energy.
Our speed-regulated E-pumps, digitally enabled solutions and optimization services are at the heart of these plans. Available for almost all processes found in industry, these solutions make it possible for you to:
SBTi
The science-based targets initiative (SBTi) drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organisations to set schience-based emissions reduction targets. Grundfos is the first water solutions company to receive full validation of its 2050 net-zero target from SBTi. SBTi also validated our near-term 2030 emission reduction targets.
E-pumps
Grundfos E-pumps are our extended product range with electronic variable frequency drives built into the pump motor. This provides considerable advantages for optimizing performance in a stand-alone pump.
Carbon net-zero
Grundfos is commited to a minimum of 90% emission reduction in operations and across the value chain by 2050. It is this ambition that has achieved full validation by SBTi.
Our speed-regulated E-pumps, digitally enabled solutions and optimization services are at the heart of these plans. Available for almost all processes found in industry, these solutions make it possible for you to:
- Get immediate savings – on average 37%2 with an E-pump compared with a standard pump – from lower energy consumption and optimized processes
- Achieve emissions reduction without compromising reliability – an essential requirement in many factory processes
- Benefit with a partner who helps developing energy-efficient solutions for the future
- Strengthen your business with solutions that support your sustainability agenda
How intelligent pumps contribute to reducing carbon emissions towards net zero

Identify energy savings potential and apply pump intelligence to help lower carbon emissions towards net zero.
The Grundfos whitepaper "Science Based Targets (SBTs): How intelligent pump technology can bring the CO₂ footprint down towards net zero” uncovers ways to lower carbon emissions in industry, while maintaining maximum reliability. It showcases how collecting valuable data in your facility will enable you to make smart decisions and upgrades that will minimise the overall energy consumption and thereby reduce your CO2 footprint.
In Grundfos, it all starts with an energy audit that will disclose the hidden potential in your facility. If you regulate pump operating conditions optimally, you are well on your way to achieving your sustainability targets.
