Potential energy savings and reduction of CO2 emissions through higher efficiency standards for polyphase electric motors in Japan

► The study examines two higher efficiency standards for polyphase motors in Japan. ► The energy savings between 2014 and 2030 for Scenario 1 would be 249 TWh. ► The energy savings for Scenario 2 would be 398 TWh. ► The reduction in CO2 emissions for Scenario 1 would be 93 Mt. ► The reduction in CO2 emissions for Scenario 2 would be 149 Mt.
