Summary
Climate change is a common challenge faced by human society and is increasingly threatening
human survival and development. China's economy has maintained rapid growth in the past
few decades and addressing climate change has become an inherent need for China's
sustainable development. In 2020, the Chinese government clearly put forward the strategic
goal of reaching carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060; at the same time, China
also faces a series of major practical challenges such as unreasonable energy structure and
high energy consumption per unit of GDP, making the realization of the “dual carbon” goal
urgent and daunting.
As one of the world's first large-scale technology companies to announce the goal of carbon
neutrality, Siemens is committed to the scientific and systematic "two-carbon" top-level design
by virtue of its profound technological accumulation and innovation. By providing advanced
energy and digital solutions, we could help all industries to deepen and accelerate carbon
emissions reduction.
In China, various industrial campuses are the core strength of China's economy and the
concentrated consumers of various energy sources. How to achieve low carbon and zero
carbon in the campus will become one of the core issues of China's "dual carbon" strategy.
This white paper states Siemens' understanding of smart campus in terms of carbon neutrality
and digitization, summarizes and analyzes the definition and architecture of zero-carbon smart
campus, the core issues and pointcuts of various scenarios, and solutions that combine
software and hardware. It shared Siemens' practices in this field, hoping to provide valuable
references for readers in the fields of zero-carbon green development.
