- Wolfgang Hesoun, CEO of Siemens Austria: “One-of-a-kind research project in Vienna provides solutions for climate protection that are unprecedented in Europe”
- ASCR’s objective: Development of market-oriented, scalable, and economical solutions for the energy future in urban areas
- Making the energy system more efficient and more climate-friendly
The European Green Deal is
the European Commission’s key project for the transition to a climate-neutral
and environmentally friendly economy. “The associated challenges for the
economy and society are significant. The key is clearly in the development of
our cities and the use of state-of-the-art technologies. In order to cover the
constantly rising energy needs, we therefore have to utilize all possible
technologies that reduce carbon dioxide,” stressed CEO of Siemens Austria Wolfgang
Hesoun, who expressed his gratitude that Siemens and the City of Vienna (Wien Energie, Wiener Netze, Wien 3420, and the
Vienna Business Agency) kicked off a research program that is the only one of its
kind in Europe, aimed at ushering in the energy future in urban areas, back in
2013.
- Virtual event from Nov 22 to 26, 2021: Explore highlights in 3D and engage in dialog with Siemens experts
- New products, services, and solutions from the Digital Enterprise portfolio enable more flexible production to adapt to rapidly changing requirements
- Numerous practice-oriented exhibits and models visualize the digital progress along the value chain
In line with the motto “Infinite
opportunities from infinite data”, Siemens has organized its own virtual event
within the scope of the SPS trade fair: It is the ideal setting to present new
products, services, and solutions from its Digital Enterprise portfolio which
enable customers from the manufacturing and process industries to respond to
ever more rapidly changing market requirements and general conditions. To make
this happen, Siemens combines the real and digital worlds. Industrial
enterprises can thus leverage the benefits of automation, electrification and
digitalization in order to act both flexibly and sustainably while at the same
time making extensive use of the data generated. Using this link
https://sie.ag/3qZY9iY, interested parties
can register for the virtual event, enabling them to discover the topics in a
virtual 3D showroom and join the dialog to extend their knowledge. The
innovations and highlights on display include: the connection of drives to the
Siemens Industrial Edge platform, an industrial 5G router for the control
cabinet, as well as a software solution for the simulation of drives. In
addition to new spare part management services and solutions and a B2B
marketplace for industrial companies, we present an ecosystem-based approach
for the exchange of emission data.
- SiGreen enables the reliable tracking of a product carbon footprint
across the supply chain
- The distributed and open Estanium network makes it possible to combine emission data into a true ecological footprint
- Companies are using data to better deploy their resources and pave the way towards an eco-friendly and sustainable economy
In light of the fact that the supply chain accounts for the largest share of the ecological footprint of products, the decarbonization of industry is a challenge which must be tackled by all the stakeholders together. As a leading provider of automation technology and industry software, Siemens has for the first time launched a solution for the efficient query, calculation and transfer of information on the actual Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). SiGreen now makes it possible to exchange emission data along the supply chain and combine it with data from a company’s own value creation in order to obtain a product’s true carbon footprint. To achieve this, Siemens has initiated the open, cross-industry Estainium network with the aim of enabling manufacturers, suppliers, customers and partners to exchange trustworthy PCF data. With SiGreen supporting companies in tracking their Product Carbon Footprint, they can take targeted reduction measures providing a quantifiable effect. CO2 management thus supports companies on their way towards carbon neutral production and helps them to transform sustainability into a decisive competitive edge.

- Storage enabled intelligent microgrid concept to accelerate decarbonization and significantly increase renewables share
- Energy storage system enables greater energy independence
- Frequency regulation increases Madeira’s grid resilience
- Plant to provide blackstart capability to the 60 kV level
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure, in partnership with Fluence, are working to help the Portuguese
island of Madeira gain greater energy independence and grid resilience using
renewable energy. Madeira’s energy provider, Empresa de Electricidade da
Madeira (EEM), awarded a Siemens and Fluence consortium a contract to install a
22,5 MVA / 15,6 MVh battery storage plant which will be integrated into an
islanded microgrid concept.
The project will enable
EEM to optimize its renewable energy integration, significantly contributing to
increasing the share of renewable power to around 50 percent in its energy mix.
As a result, the island can reduce its fuel consumption over the next two to
three years, while gaining
greater energy independence without
affecting energy quality or grid stability.

State-of-the-art train interiors
DB Regio Bayern and train manufacturer Siemens
Mobility will put a total of 57 new trains in service in Bavaria beginning in
December 2023. Twenty-six Desiro HC trains are currently being built for the
Franconia-South Thuringia network, along with 25 Desiro HC double-decker trains
and six Mireo trains for the Danube-Isar network. The 18 Desiro HC trains will
operate in the Franconia-South Thuringia network as four-car units beginning in
December 2023 and eight Desiro HC trains as six-car units in June 2024. They
travel almost as fast as the ICE, for example between Coburg and Erfurt at 190
kmh. In the Danube-Isar network, the 31 new trains will inaugurate service in
December 2024.
