Energy Logic
Facing tight budgets, carbon footprint concerns and high energy costs, chief information
ofcers and information technology managers are looking for ways to save money, lower energy
use and squeeze more efciency out of their power-hungry, heat-sensitive data centers. Emerson’s
Energy Logic strategies show them how to do it ... by reducing excess heat load in the rst place.
Range Fuels
Imagine lling up your car with a fuel blend made from renewable biomass such as wood waste.
Emerson technology is helping Range Fuels, a leader in the alternative fuels industry based in
Broomeld, Colorado, become the rst commercial-scale producer in the United States of fuels
from renewable, non-food biomass. This kind of biofuel offers a promising, eco-friendly alternative
energy source that can help reduce our world’s dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels.
Milwaukee
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, people are urged to put more food waste down their garbage
disposals. The reason is simple: Households using disposals, such as Emerson’s newest line of
InSinkErator disposals that can grind virtually any kind of food waste, are helping communities like
Milwaukee convert more of their residents’ food waste into an unending source of electricity.
Heat Pump
Conventional heat pumps do not effectively handle the residential heating requirements in
China’s northern provinces, where more than 500 million people live. Emerson solved this challenge
by developing an innovative technology for its Copeland Scroll compressor, enabling energy-
efcient heat pumps to work effectively, even in cold temperatures. Millions of homeowners in
China now have the opportunity to reduce their reliance on coal-red heating plants and prevent
millions of tons of CO2 emissions.
Qatargas
Natural gas is considered the most environmentally friendly of the fossil fuels, and demand
for it is growing. Converting natural gas to liqueed natural gas (LNG) allows for cost-efcient
storage and transport of this energy source, and Qatargas wanted to expand its facilities to boost
LNG production from 10 million to 42 million tonnes annually by the end of the decade. To meet
this ambitious goal, Qatargas’ productive capacity is set to grow to a scale never before built – and
Emerson technology is helping make it possible, safe and cost-effective.
