Capgemini, Siemens & Falk: Top 5 Stories in Energy
Capgemini explores corporate decarbonisation challenges, offering a three-pillar framework for creating a sustainable, clean energy value chain.
Global value chains are facing considerable pressure to change due to a combination of climate change, geopolitical instability and the need for cost containment.
The industrial sector is a major contributor to this environmental challenge.
According to Capgemini, the sector is responsible for more than 35% of greenhouse gas emissions, with Scope 3 emissions accounting for 70% of this figure.
Capgemini’s 'Building Sustainable Value Chains' report states that without intervention, rising emissions could lead to a global temperature increase of 4.1–4.8°C by 2100, which far surpasses the 1.5–2°C target set by the Paris Agreement.
However, this push for sustainable transformation also offers a considerable opportunity for businesses to improve cost efficiency, resilience and long-term competitiveness.
RWE and Siemens Gamesa install recyclable blades at Sofia Wind Farm, supporting EU-wide landfill bans and advancing circularity in wind energy systems.
The standard lifespan of an onshore windfarm is typically 20 to 25 years, posing a challenge for the sustainable disposal of materials, particularly the blades.
Though about 90% of a wind farm can be recycled, turbine blades often present significant recycling challenges.
To mitigate the impact of these challenges, WindEurope is lobbying for a continent-wide prohibition on landfilling turbine blades by 2025.
Nirupa Chander explains how Schneider Electric helps customers balance innovation with sustainability, as AI workloads place more pressures on data centres
The data centre industry stands at a crossroads. As AI workloads demand unprecedented levels of computing power, data centre operators must engage more with sustainability imperatives to achieve more efficient operations.
This has led to a tension between innovation and environmental responsibility, which has quickly become the defining challenge of 2025: how can the data centre industry meet soaring AI demands without compromising sustainability commitments?
For Schneider Electric, this challenge represents an opportunity to demonstrate its extensive leadership in sustainable technology solutions. The French multinational corporation, which specialises in energy management and automation is globally recognised for being at the forefront of this transformation: so much so that it was named the most sustainable company by TIME in June 2025.
Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Taiwan return Oct 29–31 at TaiNEX 1, showcasing comprehensive green energy and net zero solutions for a sustainable future.
The annual flagship exhibitions of the energy industry—Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Taiwan—will take place from October 29-31, 2025, at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 (TaiNEX 1).
Co-organised by TAITRA and GESA (Green Energy and Sustainability Alliance) under SEMI, these exhibitions focus on energy transition and carbon reduction toward achieving net zero goals.
This year’s exhibitions will expand across the first and fourth floors, bringing together industry players to form a complete renewable energy supply chain and deliver comprehensive solutions.
The combined exhibitions continue to uphold their reputation as the Asia-Pacific region’s premier sourcing and exchange platform for the green industry.
Falck details its commitment to climate transparency and reducing GHG emissions in its climate report, aiming for a more sustainable change in industries.
The World Health Organisation recognises climate change as the most substantial threat to human health.
As the world warms, core elements of health like clean air, safe water and adequate food are becoming less secure.
This change could contribute to a rise in conditions such as malnutrition, heat stress and infectious diseases.
In response, it is important for healthcare companies to spearhead efforts in reducing their own climate impact and to report on their progress with integrity.
Falck, a global provider of emergency and healthcare services, has anchored its strategy in these values with its latest Climate Transparency Report 2024.
The report details Falck's commitment to cutting GHG emissions across the 9.5 million services it delivered in 25 countries during 2024.
