1 Environmental perspective in intelligent products and processes Climate changes and refrigeration technology Ole M. Daugbjerg, Corporate Vice President Communications & Reputation Management Danfoss Refrigeration Business 1 Refrigeration and A/C Controls Commercial Compressors Household Compressors Appliance Controls Industrial Controls 1 1

2 Danfoss Vision and Values Danfoss will be a global leader within our core businesses, as a highly respected company, which improves quality of life by mastering advanced technologies in customer applications while creating value for all stakeholders. Our Business is Trust A Very Safe and Reliable Choice Passionate about Technology Global Culture, Local Representation Environmentally and Socially Responsible Two major global challenges -19 Danfoss is founded. Freon is introduced Debate on Ozone depletion Montreal protocol on limitation of CFC HFC used in small installations -199 Debate on global warming (HFC-debate) -199 CFC not used any longer in Denmark Kyoto protocol issued (heavy green house gasses) -00 Kyoto protocol ratified -00 Kyoto protocol becomes effective -008 Kyoto protocol targets must be met -01 Kyoto protocol cease Globalization is the primary challenge for our business Global warming and climate changes are major challenges for the global refrigeration industry

3 CO refrigeration research Danfoss develops technology for new environmentally neutral refrigerants Danfoss prototype compressors use CO as refrigerant and is energy efficient Danfoss ICV - Intelligent Control Valve - uses innovative technology to system- & energy optimizing control of large scale ammonia refrigeration systems The Kyoto Protocol The Kyoto Protocol is the first international agreement setting binding targets for limiting the individual industrialized countries emission of green house gases industrialized countries will reduce their emission of green house gases by an average of % from compared to 1990 level EU has as a whole decided to reduce emission by 8 % Denmark and Germany have chosen to reduce emission by 1 % USA, China and India have chosen not to sign the Kyoto Protocol 6

4 Saving energy Danfoss is dedicated towards reducing energy consumption in refrigeration installations Effective monitoring systems and the newest technology reduce the energy consumption in supermarkets by 0 % Danfoss Turbocor compressor is oil free, has magnetic bearings and can reduce energy consumption by 0 % when equipped with a frequency converter Danfoss Household Compressors has reduced energy consumption by 0 % from 197 to 00 (COP 0,70 -> 1,) 7 Need for new technology Industry must continue to strengthen research and development within sustainable and energy optimal refrigeration solutions The new technology must be compatible with previously used technology so retrofitting of older systems is made possible The new technology must be offered at prices attractive to less developed countries 8

5 The ways to achieve the desired effects Design of the right products: The refrigeration industry must develop and deliver technology suitable for environmentally neutral refrigerants The refrigeration industry must focus on energy efficient systems and components The systems must be well maintained to avoid emission of refrigerants Use of the right processes: Emission of refrigerants must be eliminated during handling The right focus: Focus on total cost by owning and operating a refrigeration system instead of price will lead to Better refrigeration systems and installations Lower energy consumption Legislation: National legislation must encourage the development of the future refrigeration systems USA is from January 006 requiring thermostatic expansion valves on new air conditions installations 9 9
