- Siemens circuit breaker is the first electrical safety product to use plastic components where fossil raw materials have been replaced by biomethane derived from recycled biowaste
- The material changeover in the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker production will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide equivalents by ~270 tons per year1
- SIRIUS 3RV2 is one of the first products covered by the recently launched Siemens EcoTech label
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure and BASF have today announced the first electrical safety product
to include components made from biomass-balanced plastics. Used across
industrial and infrastructure applications, Siemens SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker
is now being manufactured using Ultramid® BMBcertTM
and Ultradur® BMBcertTM from BASF, where fossil
feedstock at the beginning of the value chain is replaced by biomethane derived
from renewable sources such as agricultural waste. Both materials offer the
same quality and performance as conventional plastics. The material changeover
in the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker production will reduce the emission of carbon
dioxide equivalents by ~270 tons per year1. Customers using these
products contribute to a circular economy towards a more sustainable future. &

- Gridscale X LV Management software empowers DSOs to take a holistic approach to unlocking grid flexibility at scale – from planning to operations
- Software acts as an intelligent “co-pilot”, providing step-by-step guidance to prevent low voltage grid instability, reducing outages by 30%
- Enables grid operators to operate the grid closer to its limits and digitalize faster and more efficiently
- Gridscale X LV Management is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Today, Siemens unveils its latest Gridscale X offering, LV Management, at Eurelectric’s Power Summit. Embedded with crucial capabilities to actively control the low voltage grid, this represents the first step towards unlocking grid flexibility at scale across planning and operations. With additional insights and transparency over what is happening on the low voltage grid, operators can use the software as a “co-pilot,” helping them to deal with the increasing complexity and challenges related to low voltage grids.

Equips Norwegian grid operator Norgesnett with medium-voltage switchgear
and compact substations for sustainable, reliable, and affordable transformation
of national grid
- Norgesnett adopts SF6-free switchgear, saving approximately 1,200 tonnes
of CO2 compared to SF6-gas switchgear over product lifetime
- Siemens’ switchgear utilizes climate-neutral insulating medium “Clean
Air” consisting exclusively of components of ambient air, propelling Norgesnett
toward its sustainability goals
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has signed a six-year framework agreement with Norgesnett to deliver
SF6 gas-free switchgear in the form of the 8DJH 24 – blue GIS switchgear,
alongside compact substations.
- The University of East London (UEL) has reduced its carbon emissions by 10 percent in phase one of its new net zero strategy
- UEL partnered with Siemens to develop and deliver the strategy, designed to improve energy efficiency and renewable integration
- Siemens and UEL to co-create a ‘Living Lab’ to help embed sustainability into course curriculums
The University of East London (UEL) has reduced its carbon emissions by 10 percent from its 2020/21 baseline to 2022/23 in the first phase of its new net zero strategy, putting the organisation on track to achieve its 2030 net-zero target.

- Outlook at Group level confirmed
Siemens delivered solid performance in the second quarter, successfully meeting the high demand for digitalization and sustainability technology. Notably, the industrial software business showed strong growth with particularly high demand in the semiconductor industry. Demand from customers for the construction of data centers also showed strong momentum. Currently muted demand in the short-cycle automation business at Digital Industries, particularly in China and Europe, was largely offset by strong revenue development at Smart Infrastructure and Mobility. In addition, Siemens took a key step in focusing its portfolio with the sale of Innomotics to KPS Capital Partners for €3.5 billion.
We released our second quarter results for fiscal year 2024. The Press Conference Call and the Analyst Call were broadcast live.
