Revolutionize Electricity Production

– Efficiency

– Climate change/ Sustainability

– Renewables

– Standards

– Smart grid

9

Reinvent Transportation

– Advanced materials– Fuel efficiencies– Fuel options– Systems integration

10

Transform Infrastructure

“Cities are the growth engines of the future” — Green City Index, Siemens AG

11

• New technologies• New materials• New standards• Increased efficiency

“New low-carbon technologies will be needed

to sustain emission reductions beyond 2030,

particularly in end-use sectors such as transport,

industry and buildings.” — Energy Technology Perspectives 2010

12

Promote Sustainable Industry

Empower Innovation

“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all

human change, improvement and progress.”

—Economist Ted Levitt
