S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well, good morning,

0:03

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

everyone.

0:03

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

I'll be having this presentation,

0:07

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

moderating.

0:07

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

We'll start with the first presentation by Bruno

0:12

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

de Bachter.

0:13

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

He has 25

0:17

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

years experience as a freelance consultant in business -to -business and European

0:21

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Union advocacy communication.

0:23

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

He combines his technical background in engineering with a passion for

0:27

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

employing precise forms of discretion.

0:30

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and a wide range of knowledge of the electricity system,

0:33

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the energy transition,

0:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and policy making.

0:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Since 2011,

0:38

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

he has been an impasse consultant and copywriter to the National Copper

0:42

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Association Europe on topics related to transformers,

0:45

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

motors,

0:46

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and electrical safety.

0:48

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

For all of us who grew up reading your reports,

0:51

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it was a great honor to be presenting.

0:53

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So I'll be going around the room.

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Thank you very much for this introduction.

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

By the way,

1:03

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

normally my colleague Fernando Nuno was supposed to give this presentation,

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but he couldn't be here because of a small medical issue,

1:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so I will take over,

1:13

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but the paper was coded by both of us,

1:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so I'm familiar with the material.

1:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So I'm going to talk about the raw material supply risk

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of motors.

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So of course energy efficiency is the main topic of this

1:28

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

whole conference and the whole environmental impact is a very

1:33

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

important topic as well.

1:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

But as we heard already in 2017,

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

there were also some talks about the supply

1:40

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk of certain raw materials and this has become ever more important.

1:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

There is a lot of fuss about the rare earth materials

1:50

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and other materials where the European Union has a

1:54

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

kind of dependency from import and often import from

1:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

very specific countries.

2:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So it is important to look at this.

2:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

For instance,

2:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

lithium, magnesium,

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

gallium and other rare earth elements all have more

2:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

than 65 % of import from one country outside the European

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Union.

2:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So this is the agenda.

2:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So first we will define what is actually the supply risk and

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

then we will look at it specifically for motors.

2:26

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

We also talk about the material impact of

2:30

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the energy losses.

2:31

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So I gave a presentation about this two years ago already.

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Energy losses also have a material impact upstream in

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the system.

2:40

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And then we will look at different efficiency levels and how this translates

2:44

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

to the motors of different efficiencies.

2:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So how to define supply risk?

2:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well,

2:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

actually the European Union did this in the impact assessment of

2:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the Critical Raw Material Act.

2:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And there,

2:59

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

a critical raw material is defined based on two axes.

3:03

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

One is the risk of supply and the other is the economic importance.

3:08

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And there are formulas for this economic importance here.

3:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

It's about the share of the material in an economic sector,

3:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the added value of this material,

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and then also the substitution index,

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so the more easy it is to substitute the material by another

3:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

one, the lower economic importance.

3:26

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Second axis is on the supply risk itself,

3:30

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the loan formula.

3:32

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

It's actually quite straightforward if you look at it.

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So it's mainly about the concentration of the supply across countries

3:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and also looking at their governance level.

3:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So there is this weighting according to the global

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

concentration and concentration specifically for the

3:50

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

material imported in the EU.

3:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And this is then the imported lines of the EU.

3:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Then there is also the secondary material that is being

4:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

used, so of course the more recited material that stays in the European

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Union and is being used,

4:06

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that has the supply risk,

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and then we have again a substitution index.

4:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So these are the formulas from the Critical Role

4:14

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Act.

4:15

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So if we look

4:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

at different materials...

4:21

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

on both axes and there is also a threshold set for what is a

4:25

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

critical raw material threshold on both economic

4:30

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

importance and supply risk we see not surprisingly

4:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that there are rare earths somewhere very high also boron

4:40

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

is quite high in this graph just

4:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

above the threshold of supply risk is aluminium

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And iron is way below,

4:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

maybe surprisingly to some of you also,

4:55

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

copper is far below the supply,

4:57

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but above the threshold.

5:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

economic improvements and because of this there

5:05

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

is a second list that has been made by the impact assessment of the critical

5:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

raw materials act which is the list of strategic raw materials for

5:14

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the european union and this is looking at

5:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the importance for the green and digital transitions and for

5:22

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

defense and aerospace

5:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And in the whole list that has been made of strategic raw materials there are actually

5:28

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

two which are strategic but not critical,

5:30

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

copper and nickel.

5:33

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And because they are in this list,

5:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

they also get support for enforcing

5:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

domestic sourcing and production,

5:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so basically for copper mining and fining

5:45

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

within Europe.

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So they are eligible for support,

5:48

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but they are not strictly critical to a

5:52

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

material according to the definitions of the European Union.

5:57

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So now what happens if we use those formulas on the materials

6:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that are being used in manufacturing?

6:03

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

A

6:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

question that sometimes comes up,

6:09

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and I heard it again this morning in the presentations,

6:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

yes, certain motors use more material,

6:14

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so maybe there should be...

6:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

deprioritized and the ones that lose less material should get priority because

6:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

this material supply is becoming a big problem for the European Union

6:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

or it is getting a lot of focus in that case so

6:32

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that would be the most easy thing to look at

6:36

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

just at a simple weight in kilograms and we see here for 55 kilowatt

6:40

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

i .e.

6:41

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

4 motor

6:42

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the induction motor is more than 500 kilos,

6:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

a synchronous -relectance motor just below 500,

6:49

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and a permanent magnet motor is only half of that.

6:53

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So you could say,

6:54

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

okay, we have to favor permanent magnet motors because we use less material.

7:00

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Of course,

7:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

you immediately can feel that,

7:03

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and now I'm not talking about the environmental analysis,

7:05

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

because that's still another one that also needs to be made,

7:08

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but from a supply risk analysis,

7:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

this doesn't feel right.

7:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

It's clear that this mass needs to be pondered by the supply

7:17

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk.

7:17

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And for this,

7:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we can use the formulas that I presented.

7:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So if we multiply the

7:25

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

weight of the materials with this supply risk

7:29

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

index,

7:31

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

which I showed the formula.

7:32

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well,

7:33

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it doesn't look very different,

7:35

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

basically.

7:36

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And this is the course,

7:37

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

if you look at all the materials that are being used in the motor,

7:40

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it's mainly iron for the steel.

7:43

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So,

7:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

because of this,

7:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the multiplication by the index,

7:50

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the supply risk index,

7:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

doesn't have a big effect on the balance

7:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

between the different technologies.

7:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

But here again,

7:59

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

there is a kind of something that doesn't feel right because

8:03

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the iron production each year globally is

8:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

1500 million tons,

8:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

neodymium production 34 ,000 tons.

8:13

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So you can feel that one ton of iron comparing this with one ton

8:17

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of neodymium is not a fair comparison.

8:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So you should ponder this weight times supply risk still

8:25

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

by the total production.

8:26

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of this material within the world.

8:29

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And this is exactly what the European

8:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Union has done also in the eco -design preparatory study on

8:38

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the scarce environmental growth and critical raw materials and recycled

8:42

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

content.

8:43

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So this is a transversal preparatory study.

8:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

It's not for one certain product category specifically.

8:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

It was published in June 2024.

8:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And it ranks the different products

9:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that are regulated by eco -design according to supply

9:05

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk by adding up the different supply risk figures

9:11

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

for the materials being used.

9:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And they are indeed pondered by the overall market size of each of

9:16

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

those materials as a working factor.

9:21

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So this is the formula that is being used.

9:23

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So for each product,

9:24

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

for instance a motor,

9:25

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and it can also be a transformer or whatever,

9:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the sum is being made of all the materials used

9:31

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

in this product.

9:32

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And then this is rated by the total market tonnage

9:37

S… Speaker 2 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of this material globally.

9:38

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And here we see a logarithmic scale.

9:42

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the production in storage of different types of material

9:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so you see iron is very high there and aluminium

9:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

copper and material like disclosium is

9:55

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

very low on this scale so these are official figures

10:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

European Union,

10:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

so it's all publicly available.

10:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Based on this,

10:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

this preparatory study made a list according to

10:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

a ranking,

10:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

according to the criticality of materials being used

10:17

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

in eco -design regulated products.

10:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Photovoltaic panels are on one.

10:21

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Of the total 38 number of product groups,

10:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

electric motors are also in the top 10 so you can see them on the map in our place so

10:32

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it is an important topic if you look at the different

10:37

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

materials on logarithmic scale and their market production

10:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

globally if you look at the materials that are used typically in a motor

10:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

iron is of course at the

10:50

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

first place and then disposal at the other end

10:55

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So, if we do this,

10:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

if we take the weight of each material and multiply it by the supply

11:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk index and we divide it by the global production of this material and

11:05

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we then compare the different motor technologies for this 55 kW

11:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

ICO4 motor,

11:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

then we see actually the real picture of the supply risk of those motors.

11:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And there we see,

11:17

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

because this is a logarithmic scale again,

11:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that induction motors and synchronous reluctance motors are in the same

11:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

order of magnitude,

11:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but we see that the permanent magnet motor now has 250

11:29

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

times more supply risk for the EU than

11:33

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

synchronous reluctance motor and the induction motor.

11:37

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So here we see the real supply risk that is

11:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

represented in this form.

11:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So coming back to the question that I put up before,

11:49

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

should certain technologies be favored because they use less

11:53

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

material?

11:53

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well,

11:54

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it's not as simple as that,

11:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

because permanent magnet motors require mainly

12:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

less steel,

12:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but they do have permanent magnets,

12:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of course, and this introduces a highly critical and scarce set

12:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of raw materials.

12:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and this can be calculated and represented in figures with

12:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the formulas that come from the Critical Role Materials

12:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Act.

12:21

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So,

12:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

from this perspective induction and synchronous reaction technologies

12:28

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

are superior to thermal impact.

12:31

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

This is for the

12:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

motor manufacturing.

12:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Since we gave this presentation already two years ago and we continue

12:43

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

to favor this idea that we should not only look at the manufacturing but we should look at

12:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the entire electrical system.

12:49

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

There's also the material impact of the Dalsos.

12:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So if you have the same 55

12:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

kilowatt IE4 motor it gives a certain mechanical

13:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

power but unfortunately also Dalsos even though it's a very efficient motor.

13:09

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

load factor 2500 hours a year of

13:13

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

load in England,

13:14

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we get a loss of 5 .9 MWh per

13:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

year for this model.

13:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And this of course comes from power stations

13:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and this is mainly print and solar that are being added to the

13:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

existing power stations nowadays in Europe and also the transmission system has

13:31

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

to be reinforced.

13:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

to be able to deliver this power and this energy.

13:38

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So we also use this material.

13:42

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And here we see the number

13:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of power that is required to deliver this energy of the

13:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

losses of this motor.

13:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So here we see the bills

13:57

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of material of wind and solar energy.

14:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And these materials we can also multiply by the supply

14:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk index divided by the global production.

14:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And look at what is this,

14:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

mainly for wheat.

14:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

There is quite a high supply risk because there are lots of rare

14:15

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

materials used again in new generators.

14:18

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

For PV it's much lower,

14:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but if you add all those materials

14:24

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

up, the supply risk of power generation,

14:28

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and this is even without taking transmission into account,

14:31

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

is also considerable.

14:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Adding this to the supply risk of

14:38

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the manufacturing,

14:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we see the following figure.

14:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

For the induction motor and the synchronous reluctance motor,

14:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we can't even see the blue line anymore.

14:47

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So the supply risk index is completely dominated

14:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

by the losses and by the generation that is needed to

14:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

produce.

14:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

For the permanent magnet motor,

14:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it's a different story.

15:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

You see both of them on the figure,

15:01

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

but you see that it's still dominated by the manufacturing of

15:06

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the motor itself.

15:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And even if the motor would have zero losses,

15:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it would still be higher than the induction motor unless it

15:15

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

was short and smooth.

15:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So there you see that it is dominated

15:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

by the manufacturing state.

15:22

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So,

15:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

adding this all together and comparing motors of different efficiency

15:32

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

levels, does it make sense to keep on increasing

15:36

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the efficiency performance standards?

15:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

if Europe is more and more focusing on the supply risk of

15:44

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the materials and,

15:45

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

of course,

15:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

motors of higher efficiency as we now use more

15:50

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

materials.

15:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And what can be the unintended effects?

15:54

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well, if we use the calculation methods that I just presented and we compare,

15:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

for instance,

15:59

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

an induction motor,

16:00

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

are you formal?

16:04

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

with an induction motor,

16:05

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

IU4, synchronous reluctance motor,

16:07

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

and permanent magnet motor,

16:08

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

also IU4.

16:09

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

We see that if we increase efficiency,

16:13

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

not surprisingly,

16:15

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

because as I showed you already,

16:17

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

the energy losses are dominating this supply risk for

16:22

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

induction motors and synchronous reluctance motor,

16:25

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

we see more or less a 20 % reduction in the risk.

16:30

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And then for the permanent magnet motor there is a 137

16:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

% increase of the risk if you go from an I3

16:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

induction motor to an I4 permanent magnet motor.

16:41

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So does it make sense to increase MEPS from

16:46

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

a supply risk perspective?

16:48

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Of course there are other things to consider.

16:52

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And of course, the environmental impact certainly remains very important

16:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

as well.

16:56

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

But if you just look from this perspective,

16:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

what happens if you increase NEPS?

17:02

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

Well,

17:02

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

it's a good thing as long as the market doesn't shift,

17:06

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

as long as induction motors and synchronous reluctance motors keep

17:11

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

on dominating the market.

17:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

But if this would provoke a shift towards permanent negative motors,

17:16

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

this is a different thing.

17:20

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

really shifts the supply risk of the whole modern market of Europe.

17:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So maybe

17:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

high gaps could be considered in combination with other actions that are favoring

17:33

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

low supply risk technologies.

17:35

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So to wrap up,

17:39

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

supply risk is a crucial indicator for the EU.

17:44

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

The masses of raw materials need to be rated to have

17:48

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

a good picture of what supply risk actually is.

17:51

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And this also needs to be divided by the total global production

17:55

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

to have a meaningful comparison.

17:58

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

And if you look at the same efficiency

18:02

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

level, permanent magnet motor has more or less 250

18:06

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

times higher supply risk than industrial motor,

18:10

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

synchronous and electric motor.

18:12

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

If we go to higher efficiency levels,

18:15

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

then we see that this is a good thing for the supply

18:19

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

risk, as long as we stay with induction motors and some trans -relatance motors.

18:23

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

But if the market could shift due to these new

18:27

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

efficiency regulations towards permanent market motors,

18:31

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

there is also a higher supply risk for Europe.

18:34

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

So,

18:36

S… Speaker 1 (Eemods 19.5 15_30)

that was it.
