Abstract
AbstractThis paper considers the effectiveness of the service business approach for reducing CO2 emissions. “HDRIVE” is a service business using inverters to reduce the energy consumption of motor drive. The business model of this service is changed to find new opportunities of CO2 emission reduction by combining various factors such as financial services or long‐term service contracts. Risk analysis of this business model is very important for providing stable services to users over the long term. The HDRIVE business model is found to be suitable for this objective. This service can be applied effectively to industries such as chemicals or steel, where CO2 emissions are very large, and has the possibility of creating new business considering CDM or trading CO2 emission rights. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through several examples in real business. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
