Our Environmental Portfolio
is creating advantages on three fronts –
for our customers, for future generations and for Siemens.
c. Provide a leading
environmental portfolio
Our Environmental Portfolio, which bundles products
and solutions that contribute to environmental and cli-
mate protection, has captured an outstanding position
on the technology market worldwide and is one of our
strategic growth drivers. In fiscal , we generated
revenue of €. billion with Portfolio offerings. In ,
we set ourselves the target of achieving revenue of at
least € billion with our green technologies by the end
of fiscal . And this target remains unchanged, even
though the planned IPO of OSRAM will make it more
difficult to achieve.
Our Environmental Portfolio is making a major contribu-
tion to climate protection. In fiscal , our ecofriendly
products and solutions enabled customers worldwide to
slash their CO

emissions by  million tons – an
amount equal to the total annual CO emissions of Ber-
lin, Delhi, Istanbul, Hong Kong, London, New York, Sin-
gapore and Tokyo.
The products and solutions underlying our Environmen-
tal Portfolio’s extraordinary success come from all four
of our Sectors. For example, the ICx trains from our Rail
Systems Division are setting new standards for long-
distance rail transportation. We expect these innovative
trains to consume about % less energy per seat than
vehicles in German railway operator Deutsche Bahn’s
existing fleet. This advance is due to improved aerody-
namics and lighter construction, which reduces the
weight of a -meter train by some  tons.
Our new efficiency record for gas turbines in combined-
cycle operation with steam turbines is yet another tri-
umph for our trailblazing technology. The SGT-H
gas turbine we installed at a power plant in the Bavarian
town of Irsching achieves an efficiency of .%, com-
pared to the .% efficiency of the previous turbine
generation – while generating an output of  mega-
watts. To produce one kilowatt-hour of electricity, the
new generation of combined-cycle power plants (CCPPs)
consumes one-third less natural gas than the average
installed CCPP. Also boasting unprecedented operating
flexibility, these plants can be rapidly ramped up and
down in response to fluctuating power feed-ins from
wind and solar systems.
Our engineering achievements are also continually im-
proving the environmental performance of healthcare
products. For example, our SOMATOM Definition Flash
computed tomography (CT) system requires, on aver-
age, about % less power for chest scans and around
% less power for cardiac scans than the previous gen-
eration of CT scanners.
In fiscal , we received our first order for wind tur-
bines for an offshore project in China. To be installed off
the coast of Jiangsu Province,  Siemens turbines will
supply the region with  megawatts of clean electrici-
ty. The order, which includes a five-year service and
maintenance agreement, is a milestone on our way to
entering China’s burgeoning wind power market.
These successes illustrate how the products and solu-
tions in our Environmental Portfolio are creating advan-
tages on three fronts: for our customers, who are ben-
efiting from lower energy costs and increased efficiency;
for future generations, whose quality of life and envi-
ronment we’re preserving and enhancing; and for
Siemens, by enabling us to tap attractive markets and
generate profitable growth.
