Electric Vehicles & Heat Pumps: Electric motors play a crucial role in the energy transition
Electric motors are implicated in two major decarbonisation options involving electrification: electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. Electrical power sector is the fastest to decarbonise because of the wide variety of carbon-free energy sources that can generate electricity. Major potential for electrification lies in building heating and cooling, water heating, transport and various types of industrial energy use. The biggest energy savings potential, however, lays probably in an approach that focusses on the entire motor system instead of the isolated device. Extending the Ecodesign MEPS to other motor categories and removing some exceptions would be be a logical next step that could lead to significant carbon emission savings. For medium and large motors, the minimum efficiency level could be raised to IE4 from 2022 onwards. Doing so would be economically sound and would save an additional 9.3 TWh or 9.97 million tonnes of CO2eq per year. A more active promotion of standard IEC 61800-9, as well.
