Earth Day 2025: a 60-Second Pledge, a Lifetime of Sustainability with SETCON

This Earth Day, SET Sustainable Energy Technologies proudly joined the global movement by switching off our lights for 60 seconds in March — a symbolic gesture to highlight that true sustainability comes from consistent, everyday actions.

For power plants, oil & gas, and other industries, every day presents an opportunity to cut energy consumption and lower emissions. That’s where SETCON variable speed gearbox makes a real difference.

  • Unmatched Efficiency: SETCON gearbox stands out as one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable solutions on the market,
  • Smart Energy Recovery: instead of wasting excess energy as heat, SETCON regenerates it back to the grid — reducing energy losses and cooling demands while maximizing efficiency.

The transition to climate neutrality extends beyond building new renewable energy projects – the maximization the efficiency of existing equipment is also vitally necessary. As WSED 2025 focuses on a #competitive, #collective, and #climate_neutral future, we draw attention to enhancing retrofits for the operating power plants.

🔶  SETCON, state-of-the-art electro-mechanical variable-speed gearbox, is designed to optimize the performance by exchanging existing drives in thermal power plants. Instead of costly and time-consuming overhauls, the electro-mechanical gearbox upgrades power plant’s machinery in frames of a remaining foundation, ensuring smoother maintenance, lower operational costs, and a faster return on investment (ROI).

❔   How does SETCON contribute to a climate-neutral future?

  • Increases energy efficiency by up to 97%
  • Lowers CO₂ emissions by regenerating excess energy and bring it back to the grid
  • Reduces environmental impact by eliminating working oil, therefore cutting losses and cooling requirements
  • Enables effective retrofits, avoiding major structural changes
  • Ensures long-term reliability

Europe’s power sector demands solutions that are both sustainable and economically feasible. SETCON has already been proving its performance in the region for years, optimizing Drive Trains with boiler feed pumps and other high-energy demanding applications.

SET at the forefront of Climate Change

SET Sustainable Energy Technologies at the forefront of Climate change

SET Sustainable Energy Technologies shares the recent European Commission’ s statements about tackling climate change. The need for low-CO2 production has never been greater than now.

We saw the chaos and carnage of extreme weather… right across our Union. This is the reality of a boiling planet.” – As the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen remarked in SOTEU speech this week, – “we shifted the climate agenda to being an economic one. This has given a clear sense of direction for investment and innovation… And we have already seen this growth strategy delivering in the short-term. Europe’s industry is showing every day that it is ready to power this transition. Proving that modernisation and decarbonisation can go hand in hand“.

Especially the energy industry is in desperate need of modernization. SET Sustainable Energy Technologies is continuously working on the leading edge of innovation in the drive technology field to contribute to a CO2-reduced energy transition and supply. Our vision is to revolutionize the market with our highly efficient and innovative SETCON variable-speed gearbox, devised based on 35 years of experience in the development of industrial drives.

Implementation of SETCON variable-speed gearbox increases the whole drive train efficiency and reduces downtime to an absolute minimum. A robust standardized gearbox design and outstanding durability of used low-voltage frequency drive technology with a MTBF of up to 60 years underlines this.

SET Sustainable Energy Technologies’ vision keeps aligned with the opinion of the EU majority, according to the recent European Commission report on climate change 2023. Three quarters (75%) of EU citizens agree that the innovative technology development is a natural step in tackling climate change. Consequently, this will make EU companies more competitive on the market.
