Cities contribute significantly to global energy usage and CO2 emissions. Transforming cities into low-carbon settlements requires a holistic approach across sectors like transportation, energy, and buildings through measures like efficient infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and smart technologies. This allows optimization of resources and reduction of emissions from urban transport, energy production and consumption. The document outlines Siemens' approach to smart cities and low-emission transformation through sector coupling, mobility integration, digitalization, and infrastructure solutions already implemented in cities like Barcelona.

A holistic approach - one step further:
Transforming today's cities into low-emission settlements
Road transport:
More than 40% of
nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Almost 40% of
primary PM2.5
emissions
come from
transport
Cities stand for
~80% of the world’s
energy and
>70% of all
CO2 emissions

Smart infrastructure determines cities’ competitiveness
‒ Efficient transport of people and goods
‒ Reliable and efficient supply of energy
‒ Low emissions, water usage and waste
‒ Comfort, quality of life and security

Intelligent Infrastructure –
Examples from Barcelona and around the world
Hamburg
SIHARBOR - Shore
connection system for
berthed ships reducing
ship emissions by up to -
97% (NOx).
London
20% less traffic, 17%
reduction in commuter
times, 150,000t less CO2
annually through
congestion charging.
Barcelona
Two joint research centers
(ICTA & ICP) with LEED
certification.
Active building control by
Siemens Desigo Insight
based on over 2.300 data
points.
Barcelona
First full automated metro
in Spain - GoA4 (max.
degree of automation).
Increased capacity
because trains can run at
shorter headways – for up
to 330,000 passengers
daily.
