Industry in transition: the time to act is now! 🌍 What a pleasure to participate in the event " Industrie und Nachhaltigkeit – Wie gelingt der Wandel?" organised by Drees & Sommer. Together with experts from business, science, and politics, we discussed in depth how we can make our industrial supply chain sustainable. One particular focus: how sustainable lime products can help to decarbonize entire supply chains. ⚙️ Under the motto "Pioneers of change: decarbonization without deindustrialization", we discussed exciting approaches for a more sustainable industry in interactive breakout sessions together with LEAG, Cemex, and PtX Lab Lausitz. Our contribution, in the form of a breakout session entitled "From lime to cars: How do we make the entire supply chain sustainable?", also clearly demonstrated how strong the will for a sustainable transformation is. The tools are there, now we need to convince all stakeholders in the value chain to start implementing it! 💡 A big thank you to the Drees & Sommer team for the invitation and to all participants who made the day a success with their valuable contribution. Together we can drive change and create a more sustainable industry! 🌱 #Sustainability #Industry #Transformation #Decarbonization #Lhoist

✨ 2 intensive and inspiring days at #DMEXCO2024 and #DigitalX in Cologne are behind me, and I am still excited about the fascinating conversations and presentations I experienced. 💬🚀 The transformation over the past two years was clearly noticeable: What started as ideas around #AI has evolved beyond initial use cases. Today, we are diving deep into the "engine room" to better understand and utilize AI. 🤖🔍 The talks on societal developments and the opportunities AI brings were particularly thought-provoking. 💡🌍 A highlight for me were the presentations and discussions by Vicktoria Klich, Daniel Hulme, Anja Förster, Maximilian Then and of course Michael Fritz their insights especially stood out to me. 🎤💥 AI not only brings technical innovations but also opens the door to deeper societal questions: "What would I do if I didn't have to work for money?" – for many, the answer is a desire to contribute and give back, when everyday life allows it. 🙌❤️ What are your thoughts about it? And if you want to make a direct impact right away, feel free to donate here. Viva con Agua #wearefutureready #AI #Innovation #Digitalization #SocietalImpact #PromptingTheFuture

What needs to be done? What needs to be considered? Here is a brief overview of the topics I addressed: 👉🏼Development of CO2 Emissions in Energy Production and Consumption: We examined how CO2 emissions have evolved and what this means for future energy strategies. 👉🏼#LandingPorts - Energy-Intensive Industries: We discussed the role of landing ports in supporting energy-intensive industries and how they can adapt to new energy standards. 👉🏼#Grid Access for Electrical Energy: Ensuring reliable and equitable access to the electrical grid is crucial for the energy transition. 👉🏼Grid Access for #Hydrogen: As hydrogen becomes a key player in sustainable energy, we explored the infrastructure and policies needed to support its integration. 👉🏼Future Perspectives: We looked at the long-term outlook of the energy transition and the strategic adjustments businesses must make to thrive in this new era. These topics are not just theoretical; they are actionable insights that can guide companies through the complexities of the energy transition. Big thanks to Winfried W.

On one side, government of Ukraine has made are a number of steps to increase the installation of renewable energy sources, simplify equipment import, and facilate permitting processes. yet, business requires additional support from the state. On the other hand, companies have demostarted flexibility and continue to find ways to meet their current electricity needs.  The Committee on Energy and Energy Transition supports  improvement of coordination between government and business, as well as the exchange of experience and knowledge between German and Ukrainian companies in order to find effective solutions  and ensure effective electricity supply.

Solar for decentralised energy supply – German Vice Chancellor in Ukraine. A school in Irpin, a city near Kyiv, is now using solar panels to secure its energy supply – Germans Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Actions Robert Habeck visited the school yesterday. We are working on many more good examples of the use of decentralised and green energy supporting Ukrainian citizens. On behalf of the German Government, GIZ Ukraine is also supporting critical infrastructure such as hospitals and kindergartens with solar panels and other energy supply. A hospital near to the front was recently equipped with solar panels and serves now 6000 patients – also in times of blackouts. Additionally, more than 4200 solar technicians, electricians, construction workers and other specialists have already been trained to assist Ukraine in the use and maintenance of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency. The focus is on "sustainable reconstruction", as Robert Kuenne Cluster Coordinator Energy and Climate Ukraine, reports. #GIZ

#HM24 is a wrap! 🏁 One of my key takeaways from the insightful Siemens stage program under the motto "Go Digital, Become Sustainable" has been: The future of industrial production, becoming more sustainable and addressing the world's greatest challenges - such as accelerating decarbonization - calls for collaborative business models and solutions 🤝 that leverage multi-stakeholder partnerships and ecosystems. Companies can't simply go it alone any more! ⛔ Veronika Bienert from Siemens Financial Services clearly pointed out: Building and in particular scaling sustainable innovation and 'green business models' 🌳, paving the way towards a carbon-neutral future, essentially requires combining technology, entrepreneurial as well as finance expertise that have been used to belong to largely isolated ecosystems. Simply put, we need to build bridges to assemble truly customer-centric and financially viable solutions for the future. Another case in point: Data Driven X, a Siemens-internal scaleup, provides a platform to build a cross-industry ecosystem, connecting machine users, machine builders and finance institutes. By generating transparent insights from IoT-based machine data for all stakeholders, Data Driven X enables dynamic, tailored financial solutions, outcome-based business models and a CAPEX-to-OPEX shift, resulting in optimized cash flows (see picture attached). 🎯 What have your key takeaways from #HM24 been? You missed the Siemens stage program or would like to rewatch certain sessions?
