Turning waste into climate-friendly energy

CEO of Kamstrup, Per Asmussen:
TRUE TO
OUR SPIRIT
With a staggering 30% organic growth in 2011 due to
technological innovation, Denmark based Kamstrup is
the epitome of Danish cleantech.
Managing energy infrastructure
The infrastructure of energy supply
becomes increasingly complex,
not least due to more sustainable
but unpredictable energy sources.
Kamstrup develop and produce the
innovative metering solutions which
form the backbone in modern smart
grid management.
MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE
The road ahead
to sustainable cities
2.000
This is an industry as dynamic and
rapidly developing as we only find it
in advanced electronics.
Kamstrup has own offices in 20 different
countries and export 85% of
its 1180 MDKK turnover in 2011. Still
Kamstrup has decided to develop
60%
houses in Moscow of the energy
and produce all its electronic components
in its own factory in Denmark
and export it to 60 countries
all over the world, even to China.
Per Asmussen explains: “To produce
electronics in a high cost country
requires fully automated production
lines. However, the greatest
advantage of this is not the savings
in labour costs, but the high quality
level, which we could never reach in
any manual production”.
Denmark is an obvious choice for
Kamstrup to develop the future business.
As Per Asmussen expresses:
“Kamstrup is heavily dependant
on continuous development and
technological leadership. 25% of
our colleagues work on technological
development, and the future
growth, we need the best skilled
people in our team. Denmark has
leading competencies in cleantech
and green energy”.
District Energy is one of the most e�cient ways to distribute heating and cooling to buildings in urban areas. Danfoss supplies systems
and products for district heating that along with other Climate & Energysolutions help cities to save energy and CO ² .
have reduced their energy consumption
with more than 30%. During renovation the
houses have been equipped with district
heating substations, balancing valves and
radiator thermostats from Danfoss.
produced in power plants is wasted.
By applying combined heat and
power plans and use of district
heating waste heat is captured
and utilized so e�ectively, that
only 10% of the energy is
getting lost.
