World Future Energy Summit 2016

Pictured is the Siemens 360° Digitalization Tour, which demonstrates digitalization as a key driver of sustainability in the Middle East. It shows how the manufacturing, infrastructure and energy sectors can be enhanced by Siemens digitalization technology to increase efficiency, maximize profitability and build a smarter, leaner, better-connected and more sustainable environment.

Siemens believes digitalization can be further applied to achieve efficiencies that aid the UAE’s sustainability targets of Vision 2021, including increasing the share of clean energy contribution to 24 percent of total power generation, and mitigating the effects of climate change through preventative measures such as CO2 reduction.

Siemens has committed to developing a digital culture across all of its businesses, viewing its infrastructure solutions as a solid foundation on which to build a connected, smart and digitalized network for a sustainable future.

Siemens aims to be the world's first major industrial company to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030. The company plans to cut its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions – which currently total about 2.2 million metric tons a year – in half by as early as 2020. To achieve these goals, Siemens will invest some €100 million over the next three years in order to reduce the energy footprint of its production facilities and buildings.
