Buildings and transportation are probably the first things that come to mind. But, according to global energy services giant ABB, electric motors (particularly for industrial use) account for 45% of world energy consumption. They also present some of the best opportunities for energy savings: with existing technology, these motors could be up to 57% more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>ABB has put together the following inforgraphic, and given us and sister sister <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2011\/06\/16\/electric-motors-consume-45-of-global-electricity-europe-responding-electric-motor-efficiency-infographic\/\">Cleantechnica<\/a> the opportunity to publish it on the day that the EU is introducing legislation aimed at leveraging the efficiency opportunities available for these motors.
