2024 Agenda Sessions
Panel Discussion: How to Comply with a Potential Upgrade of the Ecodesign Regulation for Stationary
The current Ecodesign regulation for electric motors (EU 2019/1781) will be reviewed in 2024. Energy performance and circular economy angles will be analysed. University of Coimbra and the European Copper Institute have carried out an exploratory study covering possible design strategies and technology choices, as well as their impact in terms of material use and life cycle assessment.
- Strategies for induction motors to comply with an increased efficiency level
- Opportunities for alternative motor technologies to enter into play
- What are the environmental impacts at product and at system level?
