1 Clean Energy Challenges for the Future Siemens Media Summit Erlangen, 27. Juni 2007 Dr. Nicolas Vortmeyer Chief Technology Officer Siemens Power Generation

2 Worldwide greenhouse gas emissions Electricity The main task here is to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness of power generation both with fossil and renewable energy sources. There is currently no feasible approach for meeting increasing world-wide power demand without the use of coal the challenge here is to develop the technology needed for environmentally friendly coal combustion processes. Siemens builds the most powerful gas turbine in the world (340 MW), which will set a new benchmark of better than 60% efficiency in combined-cycle applications. % of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions; Total: 40 Gt CO 2 e page 1 Siemens Media Summit 2007, Dr. Nicolas Vortmeyer Copyright Siemens AG
