In today's thought-provoking episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Kiessling, the CTO of Siemens' Smart Infrastructure Division. Our conversation delved deep into Siemens' commitment to sustainability and its strategic approach towards achieving net zero emissions by 2030. Thomas shared insights into the holistic strategies Siemens is employing, from robust eco-designs of products to the transformative role of smart infrastructure and AI in enhancing energy efficiency across commercial and industrial sectors.
We also explored the innovative concept of grid-connected buildings, which not only exemplifies Siemens' forward-thinking in managing energy demand but also underscores the potential of such technologies in bolstering the integration of renewable energy sources. Thomas's examples illuminated the practical steps Siemens is taking towards decarbonisation, including the push towards electrification of vehicle fleets and the application of digital twins in factory operations to streamline and accelerate the deployment of decarbonised solutions.
Importantly, Thomas addressed the broader implications of these strategies, touching upon the critical role of individual actions and the collective impact we can achieve through conscious decisions, from selecting electric vehicles to advocating for low-carbon options in our daily lives.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone keen on understanding the intersection of technology, sustainability, and the path to a decarbonised future. Join us as we navigate the complexities and the concrete measures being implemented by one of the world's leading technology companies in the fight against climate change.
