Environmental solutions increase competitiveness in mining and steel industries


The Siemens Industry Solutions Division (IS) is one of the world's leading solution and service providers of plants and systems for industry and infrastructure, focusing on innovations that save resources, water and energy in metals and mining applications. Jens Wegmann, CEO of the Siemens IS Division, said at the 4th Media Summit Metals & Mining Technologies in Essen, "Rising energy prices, legal requirements and a deeper awareness of ecological responsibility are leading to greater environmental protection and higher energy efficiency. Sustainability and cost effectiveness are not a contradiction. The Eco-Care Matrix, devised jointly by IS and universities, can assess the environmental compatibility and cost effectiveness of everything from single products to complete industrial plants. New products can also be specifically geared toward sustainability, cost efficiency and environmental protection."
