Climate change is one of the greatest existential threats to humanity, evidenced in recent years by the amplification of global warming, as well as the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters such as floods, fires, and storms. Urgent development and implementation of solutions are required before the economic, social, and health impacts become much more severe and ultimately irreparable.

While progress is being made, challenges persist. Global demand for energy continues to grow, and around 800 million people still lack access to electricity. In many cases, decarbonization solutions are still economically unfavorable. Energy security and access to energy need to be addressed, requiring geopolitical and technological solutions. But even with technological advancements and increased interconnection, a number of new challenges arise. With greater reliance on digitalization, physical and cybersecurity for energy assets is becoming increasingly concerning.

As a global energy technology company that operates locally, we develop and implement national energy roadmaps and innovative solutions, helping nations and companies increase decarbonization, energy security, and access to energy, leading to lasting social and economic growth. Our projects in Egypt, Iraq, and Nigeria have and will decarbonize energy production, providing lasting economic benefits. Our new and advanced technologies, such as green hydrogen production and artificial intelligence tools in the United Arab Emirates, open new industries and provide new skills, increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.

We are at a critical moment to tackle the existing energy threats on Earth. We believe that challenges can only be overcome through strong partnerships. The Munich Security Conference is an excellent forum to build collaboration and develop a framework for creating and implementing solutions to humanity’s greatest threats.

Christian Bruch, CEO of Siemens Energy: “Climate change, access to energy, and energy security are at the forefront of international attention. As a global energy company at the forefront of the energy transformation, focused on energizing society in a sustainable, efficient, and accessible way, Siemens Energy is ideally positioned to partner with the Munich Security Conference.”

Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, Chair of the Munich Security Conference: “We are very pleased to have secured Siemens Energy as a new partner for the Munich Security Conference. As an international driver of innovation and transformation processes, Siemens Energy is an excellent partner for future topics at the Munich Security Conference.”

Siemens Energy is one of the world’s leading companies in energy technology. The company collaborates with its customers and partners on energy systems for the future, thus supporting the transition to a more sustainable world. With its portfolio of products, solutions, and services, Siemens Energy covers nearly the entire energy value chain – from generation and transmission to storage. The portfolio includes conventional and renewable energy technology, such as gas and steam turbines, hybrid plants operated with hydrogen, generators, and transformers. More than 50 percent of the portfolio has already been decarbonized. A majority stake in the listed company Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) makes Siemens Energy a global leader in the renewable energy market. It is estimated that one-sixth of the electricity generated worldwide is based on Siemens Energy technologies. Siemens Energy employs 91,000 people worldwide in over 90 countries and generated revenue of around €29 billion in fiscal year 2019. www.siemens-energy.com.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.

Avelloz left the Northeast to become Brazil’s 5th top-selling motorcycle brand, surpassing 130,000 units sold, and is now targeting expansion in the South and Southeast with new models, a national network, and a focus on the popular entry-level segment.

Anvisa decides this Wednesday (13) whether to maintain the suspension of Ypê detergents, disinfectants, and laundry detergents. The company filed an appeal but kept two factories in Amparo (SP) idled. The agency’s guidance is not to use the products.

While heat evaporates water from reservoirs and countries seek new areas for clean energy, Morocco is testing floating solar panels that function as an energy lid and also generate electricity.
