- Evonik and Siemens Energy put pilot plant into operations
- Artificial photosynthesis closes carbon dioxide cycle
- The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the various project stages with more than €6 millionund Siemens Energy nehmen Versuchsanlage in Betrieb
Evonik
and Siemens Energy today commissioned a pilot plant sponsored by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) that uses carbon dioxide and
water to produce chemicals. The necessary energy is supplied by electricity
from renewable sources. The pilot plant is located in Marl, in the northern
Ruhr area, and its innovative technology of artificial photosynthesis should
contribute to the success of the energy revolution. It is an essential part of
the Rheticus I and II research projects, which are sponsored by the Federal
Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of 6.3 million euros.

- Enlighted Safe app helps track and trace employees who may have come in contact with an infected individual
- Allows organizations to potentially reduce the risk of virus transmission
- Provides insight into physical distancing events within the workplace
- Transparency into high-risk areas for better space management and planning
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched Enlighted Safe, a new workplace digital contact tracing app, which helps employees return safely to the workplace. Enlighted Safe provides greater transparency into the contact history of employees who are known to have tested positive for COVID-19. This is designed to support organizations in reducing the exposure of infection, keep healthy employees safe and productive, and eliminate the inefficient, expensive and error-prone manual contact tracing process for employers.

Cross (DRK) to support the comprehensive aid initiatives of the International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement for displaced people in Greece.
Less
diesel, less CO
2, even greener: DB Cargo is renewing its fleet of shunting and
mainline locomotives and is procuring new Vectron Dual Mode dual-power
locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The framework agreement comprises up to 400
vehicles and investment volume corresponds to well over one billion Euros.
The locomotives
of the type Vectron Dual Mode will be delivered with specific adaptations for
the range of applications planned by DB Cargo. The locomotives can be operated
both with diesel and electric power.
In September 2020, DB Cargo ordered 100 locomotives, followed by a second call for another 50 locomotives in January 2022.

- One of the largest stand-alone battery-based energy storage systems to be installed in an island in Europe
- Intelligent microgrid application to predict energy consumption and production
- Reduction of more than 3,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year
Siemens Smart Infrastructure, in partnership with Fluence, was awarded a contract by the Portuguese energy provider EDA – Electricidade dos Açores to build a battery-based energy storage system on Terceira, the second biggest island in terms of electrical consumption of the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to make the island more sustainable and is scheduled for completion in 2021.
Every plant or asset is documented in data. All this data and information is scattered across various platforms and various formats. It is not contextualized nor is it easily accessible. It is simply not data you can rely on. That is where PlantSight comes in. PlantSight consolidates the assets of a plant, by bringing together different types of data (1D, 2D, or 3D) from different sources into a single source of truth.

- Important milestone for planned Flender listing
- The two Portfolio Companies’ businesses a perfect fit
- Combined company to strengthen global technology leadership
A major milestone on the way to the planned public listing of Flender in 2021 has been reached. Effective today, Siemens Wind Energy Generation (WG) will be part of Siemens AG’s wholly-owned subsidiary Flender GmbH in Germany and thus perfectly complement Flender’s business portfolio. Flender will expand its market-leading position in gear units through the addition of electro-technical expertise in generators for the wind industry, while WG will benefit, among other things, from Flender’s strong position in the wind power sector. The combined company will be a global technology leader with a competitive cost base and an attractive service business. The two units are part of Siemens’ Portfolio Companies, with around 8,500 employees and pro forma revenue of roughly €2 billion.
