Schneider's energy-efficient and water optimization solutions help companies manage resources

In 2019, global energy consumption was 173.34Tn KWh¹. The world continues to derive 84% (~146.1Tn KWh) of energy from fossil fuel¹, accounting for ~3/4 of global GHG emissions and impacting climate change ². Moreover, water scarcity is a prevailing issue as ~ two-thirds of the world's population lives in water-stressed regions³. The annual global water consumption is estimated to be 4Tn m³⁴. The redirection, overuse, and pollution of water can cause ecosystem collapse, harming the environment⁵.
