A whitepaper by Danfoss suggests the potential for great CO2 savings in the UK & EU. Strategic implementation of demand-side flexibility technology could annually save up to 40 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030. This ambitious yet achievable goal exceeds Denmark's domestic climate footprint, marking a substantial leap towards carbon neutrality.

Moreover, the whitepaper reveals economic advantages, predicting an annual societal cost saving of €10.5 billion by 2030 and an even more significant €15.5 billion by 2050. In the face of recent energy crises, where the EU allocated €681 billion and the UK £90 billion (€103 billion) in response, the deployment of demand-side flexibility technologies emerges as an interesting solution. Beyond grid fortification, it foresees substantial savings for both society and consumers. The average consumer could witness a 7% reduction in electricity bills by 2030, escalating to 10% by 2050.
