Own N2 production (no cryo + no transport) - 590 MWh (external savings)

Installation of 25 energy meters on product equipment (derived savings). > 230 MWh (electricity and gas savings documented in 2021).

In collaboration with the Danish company Haldor Topsøe, Sintex has developed a new technology for transforming one of the major power-consuming processes in the chemical industry, known as SMR, into an electric-driven version called e-SMR. A demonstration plant was built in 2021, and industrialization is expected to take place over the coming years, reducing CO₂-emission in chemical industry by thousands of tons annually.

The Green Hydrogen supply from Verdo was transferred to a new hydrogen factory established by Air Liquide.

Air compressor with heat recovery on Jyllandsvej 18 - 88MWh (mainly electricity savings).

Replacement and energy optimization of extraction TS: 388 MWh (gas for heating building and electricity)

New efficient compressed air compressor with heat recovery - 50 MWh (gas for hot water etc.)

New effective water treatment: Reverse Osmosis (RO) - 900 m³ annually (25%)

Noise reduction at motor cells - from 90 db down to 80 db

Waste-heat recovery by powder metallurgy ovens

• Annual savings at 320 MWh (gas for heating building)

Introducing LED as a replacement of light in production

• Annual savings of 200 MWh (eE)

Water saving campaign: sale of water-saving inserts

• Sold 130 pieces with surplus donated to Water2Life)

Water saving campaign internally at Sintex A/S

• Around 500 m3/annualy

Within the frames of Green Magnets project, in collaboration with Aarhus University and Danfysik, we developed next-generation super magnets for particle accelerators, C-14 detection and CT-scanners, solely based on permanent magnets. When using permanent magnets instead of electro magnets, you save energy on power for the magnets as well as cooling.

We entered into an agreement with the local energy supplier, Verdo, to produce firstpioneer in producing North-European green hydrogen, that is, hydrogen produced by pure wind energy. Sintex installed a pipeline and turned our hydrogen supply from black to green, thereby reducing the annual CO₂ emission by 1 kg per Nm³ hydrogen.

We developed the IP-magnet. The first epoxy-free magnet for Grundfos' pumps was introduced which:

• Ensures an epoxy-free working environment
• Increases engine performance in high-end products yielding a remarkable annual CO₂-reduction for our customers
• Is designed according to the Cradle2Cradle principles therefore is reusable after the service life
• Included in the production of approximately 200,000 pumps every year.
