Electric motor systems use 40% of global electricity. They are used in industry, infrastructure and large buildings to drive pumps, fans, compressors, traction systems and industrial handling & processing. With using best practice energy efficiency can be improved by 20% to 30% on average. Most improvments have a pay back time of 1 to below 3 years. This means a big potential impact on reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions.

In order to gain fast and efficient access to the large potential of energy efficiency improvements of motor systems the 4E Electric Motor Systems Annex EMSA is organized in tasks that will each contribute to a coordinated effort towards rapid transformation of global markets by:

• Spreading good practice,
• New improved technology,
• Positive policy experiences.

EMSA is treated in 8 Tasks from A to H. The overall coordination is the duty of the Operating Agent as coordinator and manager. Every Task identifies its scope and states its individual deliverables at the end.

Task A is the basic implementation work, external communication and outreach to be done under EMSA. The decision on selecting the following Tasks B to H, detailing and modifying the Tasks and eventually adding other new Tasks will be taken jointly by the participants and the respective Task leaders.
