Electric motor systems use 40% of global electricity. They drive pumps, fans, compressors and traction systems in industry, infrastructure and buildings. 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 Annex 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.

The Motor Systems Annex will be treated in 8 tasks from A to H. The overall coordination will be 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 this 4E MS. The decision on selecting one or all of the following tasks B to H, detailing and modifying the tasks and adding other new tasks will be taken jointly by the participants.
