2 Cities are the growth engines for their national economies Megatrends imply significant challenges for city decision makers Megatrends Globalization & Urbanization Global players / trade volume increase 2030: 60% of population in cities High density living demands for new patterns in infrastructure Demographic Change 65+ generation will nearly double by 2030 (from 7% to 12%) Need for adequate infrastructures as well as health- and elder care Climate Change Cities responsible for ~80% GHG Need for resource efficiency and environmental care Sustainable Urban Development Cities are competing globally to make their urban areas attractive to live and to invest in Environment Competitiveness Governance Quality of Life Challenge to balance between competitiveness, environment and quality of life, and to finance infrastructure solutions Page 2

3 Sustainable Green Growth Siemens examples for energy efficiency in the city Existing technology achieves high gains in efficiency and CO 2 abatement Renewables CO 2 -free energy to the city Building technologies Traffic management system SIPLINK Wind turbines: Efficiency up from 1 MW to 3.6 MW Example HVDC: China 800 kv, 6.4 GW, 2,000 km 30% less energy used through building energy management Traffic speed: +37% Commuter times cut by 17% 12 tons less CO 2 emissions per ship and day by local grid connection Efficient energy production High-voltage urban link Industry Complete Mobility Street lighting Combined Cycle: From 50% to 60% Steam Power Plant: From 40% to 47% Efficient energy transport by HV close to the consumer 40% less energy consumption with variable-speed drives Higher attractiveness of public transport (reduced waiting and up to 20% fuel savings) Potential in Europe: 3.5 million tons less CO 2 emissions with LED systems Page 3

4 Examples of Siemens solutions to improve energy efficiency Singapore Kranji NEWater Reclamation Plant Treated wastewater from domestic sources is a strategic alternative resource 40,000 m 3 /day plant High-purity water for reuse by industrial customers and aquifer recharge Return of 92000m 3 of water a day into Singapore s water system LED Lighting, Regensburg, Germany A modern city needs high quality of lighting at low cost Cut energy costs by 50% per year Individually controllable and homogeneous radiation Creates a warm white atmosphere Won 1 st price of govt. Competition Energy efficient street lighting Umeå Municipality, Sweden Energy audit for 165 public buildings Scope of work: lighting, heating, ventilation, intelligent building management systems Result: Energy Savings: 20% per year Biomass Plant, Vienna, Austria Europe s largest biomass plant Generates power to supply 48,000 homes with electricity and 12,000 homes with heating Reduces CO 2 emissions in Vienna by 144,000 tonnes per year Savings of approx. 32 mil. m³ of natural gas or approx. 120,000 tonnes of brown coal per year Sustainable urban infrastructure requires a macroscopic view Page 4

5 Siemens insights into "how to become sustainable", jointly developed with major world cities Perception studies Comparative studies Implementation studies Megacity Challenges Comprehensive analysis based on interviews with over 500 city managers in 25 selected megacities Urban infrastructure trends and challenges as well as global best practices Commissioned research to GlobScan and MRCMH Other studies: The Sustainable Cities Challenge in Canada, ICT for Management Green Index Index compares cities across 8 dimensions of sustainability: CO 2, Energy, Buildings, Transport, Waste & Land Use, Water, Air, Governance Started in Europe, rollout in Africa, North/South America,Asia Commissioned research to Economist Intelligence Unit Sustainable urban infrastructure series How to become a sustainable city" with focus on measures for resource efficiency and CO 2 abatement Examples: London, Munich, Yekaterinburg, Dublin, Trondheim,... Page 5

6 Perception Study: The Sustainable Cities Challenges in Canada Study by Siemens, David Suzuki Foundation and GlobeScan The political fight of the century will be the pricing of energy. 73% of experts consider infrastructure renewal & upgrade, transportation issues, and infrastructure funding to be the three most serious challenges facing their cities 73% Tom Rand Practice Lead, Cleantech and Physical Sciences MaRS Discovery District There s no question we have the capacity to do this intellectually; the question is whether or not our political systems can generate the intelligence that our scientists and engineers can." 90% of experts rated transportation as having the highest need for infrastructure investments over the next five to ten years 69% of experts consider their city to be average or below average on adopting sustainable infrastructure solutions 90% 69% Peter Robinson CEO David Suzuki Foundation At the foundation, we believe that investments to protect and enhance natural capital are urgently needed. The David Suzuki Foundation encourages companies like Siemens Canada to continue their efforts to work towards a sustainable future. Page 6
