Siemens to donate cogeneration units to Ukraine
The donation
is part of Siemens’ wide-ranging rebuilding measures and global decarbonization
strategy. The company aims to reduce emissions in its own business operations 90 percent
by 2030. For instance, a cogeneration unit in Frankfurt, Germany, was recently replaced
by other technologies in the course of capacity expansions. In line with the
principles of a sustainable circular economy, this unit can now be constructively
reused in Ukraine, where it is urgently needed. Further donations of a similar
type are in the pipeline.
“Our
commitment is driven by our ambitious decarbonization targets and our high aspirations
in the area of social responsibility. This first donation is a blueprint that we
can now use also for donations of larger cogeneration units to Ukraine,” said Veronika
Bienert, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG with responsibility for
Siemens Real Estate and Eastern Europe. “Such measures are enabling us to contribute
– via an intelligent circular economy – to the transformation of energy infrastructure,
while alleviating the distress of the Ukrainian people, who are suffering
greatly because of the extensive damage to their country’s infrastructure.”
In the
planning and delivery of the donated cogeneration unit, Siemens is
collaborating with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
(German association for international cooperation, GIZ) GmbH and the Stiftung Technisch
Helfen Weltweit (foundation for technical assistance worldwide, Stiftung THW). In
the runup to the project, it was important to jointly determine an appropriate
use and a suitable location for the unit in Ukraine. The concrete core of the
project – which Siemens Real Estate launched as a long-term charitable
initiative in collaboration with GIZ and Stiftung THW – is to provide sustainable
humanitarian assistance.
Since the
beginning of March 2022, Siemens has been supporting Ukrainian families inside
the country as well as refugees from the warzone through numerous humanitarian
measures. In the course of their global charitable activities, Siemens AG and
Siemens Healthineers worldwide have already donated more than €12 million via
Siemens Caring Hands e. V. to aid projects benefiting Ukraine. Over 140 projects
with more than 71 partners have been implemented to date.
