Meanwhile, the Taiwanese government has announced ambitious plans to restructure the island's energy mix. Siemens' technologies have proven to achieve energy efficiency and carbon reduction across the entire energy chain, including energy generation, transmission and distribution, and consumption. Specifically, the company's technologies in offshore wind power, gas-fired power generation and energy efficiency via digitalization can help realize Taiwan's energy transformation and establish a sustainable energy future for the island. With the Environmental Portfolio, Siemens has helped customers worldwide to reduce CO2 emission by over 500 million tons last year, which is equivalent to almost 60 percent of the annual CO2 emission of Germany. With its own CO2 Neutral program, Siemens has already cut its own CO2 emission by 20 percent in fiscal year 2016.
