Fossil Free Future program

Danfoss transfers you to a Fossil Free Future Future with an intelligent power electronics Ecosystem.

Our mission is to lead, guide and support an ecosystem in which power electronics form the basis for developing intelligent, sustainable and cost-effective, fossil-free solutions for electric energy transition. Are you the missing piece in the puzzle? Can you help us achieve ambitious goals?

We see a future where energy transition is fossil free. To make this vision a reality, an intelligent power electronics ecosystem is needed. Our mission is to build a strong ecosystem that drives intelligent, sustainable, and cost-effective use of energy, and which strengthens the competitive advantage of its members in the global market.

Energy and its conversion will be the defining business of the future. Power electronics can be used to enable the smart and profitable green conversion of energy needed for the electrification of transportation. As an expert in power elctronics, at Danfoss we have the opportunity and the responsibility to lead, uide and support an ecosystem in which power elctronics form the basis for developing fossil free solutions for green electric transformation.

Our focus areas

Our Fossil Free Future program has been granted EUR 10 million in funding in Business Finland's challenge competition for leading companies. We are developing a wide-ranging R&D and innovation ecosystem with new and existing partners.

We drive fossil-free energy transition by researching and developing three focus areas:

Power electronics

Intelligent power electronics are a vital part of Fossil Free Future transition and a critical enabler for electrification and Power-to-X solutions. With intelligent power electronics, energy conversion becomes optimized for innovative electrification systems. This significantly increases energy efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and optimizes use of energy. Energy users get to employ intelligently optimized energy systems. Moreover, intelligent power electronics unlock many new possibilities to vastly improve electrical processes.

This is Fossil Free Future

With Business Finland funding we can accelerate our investments in green growth areas and together with our partners find new solutions to reducing the usage of fossil fuels. Together with our partners we will be creating the solution and making the world a better place. Our partners will also get lot of new ideas, innovative and creative thinking, new partners and fun by being a member in our ecosystem.

Business Finland

Business Finland is a Finnish public sector organization that provides innovation funding and internationalization services and promotes investments in Finland. Business Finland's challenge competition, in which Danfoss successfully participated, invites leading global companies to become drivers of ecosystems formed by companies of different sizes and other actors. The latest challenge competition took place in 2022 and is largely funded by the EU's recovery fund.
