As part of the
framework agreement, Siemens will deploy its scalable and proven
decarbonization solutions, tailored to the selected sites, to support Airbus in
reaching the target of 80 kt CO2e abated annually from 2030.
The project will be led by Siemens’ Buildings business and supported by Capgemini, combining the companies’ vast expertise in sustainability and digitalization to ensure the success and timely delivery of the project.

Decarbonization at
scale: Scalable solutions for measurable impact
Siemens will evaluate the sites and create and implement an overall decarbonization masterplan for the awarded sites, resulting in scalable solutions to reduce energy demand and carbon emissions. To accelerate the selection of the measures, Energy System Twins will simulate and help determine the best decarbonization roadmaps for the sites. The key elements that will enable this include decarbonization of heat production via heat pumps, energy efficiency upgrades, smart metering systems, on-site smart integration of renewable energy, and smart energy management systems to monitor, control, and optimize usage across the sites. These measures are designed to help Airbus achieve its targets of reducing energy consumption by 20 percent and Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent through 2030, compared to 2015 levels.

Capgemini has been appointed by Siemens for
the program to complete first phase consulting activities, governance
definition, and support for project management and planning. Capgemini also brings
its expertise in the digitalization and automation of the
energy monitoring and measurement systems.
“Our collaboration with Airbus is built on
years of mutual trust and shared ambition. It highlights Siemens’ capability to
deliver smart and scalable technologies and services to reduce the carbon
footprint of Airbus. At Siemens, we’re committed to making the energy
transition not only sustainable, but also achievable and scalable, so that
Airbus and other industrial leaders can confront climate challenges while
boosting operational resilience and long-term competitiveness,” said Susanne
Seitz, CEO of Buildings at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
“We’re proud to be taking this important step
toward making our operations more energy-efficient and future-ready.
Collaborating with trusted partners is key in building a more resilient
industrial footprint. The site-specific expertise from our Airbus colleagues in
the U.K. and the U.S. combined with Siemens’ technical know-how will keep us on
the path toward meeting our energy use and emission reduction targets,” said
Florent Massou dit Labaquere, EVP Operations of Airbus Commercial Aircraft.
Roadmap to 2030
The initial phase began in summer 2025 with the development of decarbonization roadmaps for each site. Engineering studies will guide the implementation, with infrastructure rollout starting in 2026. Siemens can also operate and maintain the new infrastructure, ensuring long-term efficiency and resilience.
