WHY DO WE

NEED TO SAVE
ENERGY?
Without
Energy
No Life
EARTH
is a finite
system
Nothing is created,
Nothing is destroyed
Everything is transformed

How many Earths do we need ?
In Chinese, "the word « crisis »
is made up of two letters.
One represents danger and the
other opportunity"
In only one day, the sun provides the
Earth with the same energy to that
consumed by humanity in 35 years
"With Concentrated Solar Power Stations,
one thousandth of the deserts surface
would be sufficient to cover
the world’s need in electricity"

30 up to 40% energy savings

can be realized for a centrifugal pump or a fan

With a frequency inverter
the working and service costs decrease
