Hamad International Airport and Siemens partnered to optimize the airport’s district cooling infrastructure, which will conserve and reduce energy consumption and support airport growth. The project will help DOH reach its goal of reducing carbon efficiency by 30 percent by 2030.
“As the ‘World’s Best Airport’, Hamad International Airport also needs to be the best airport for the world by growing responsibly,” said Michael McMillan, senior vice president, Facilities Management, Hamad International Airport. “This collaboration with Siemens strongly aligns with our environmental sustainability goals by adopting innovative solutions and our commitment to investing in the latest technology that will reduce our environment footprint.”
Hamad’s district cooling infrastructure includes five district cooling plants with a production capacity of 62,000 tons. The partnership with Siemens will leverage its patented Demand Flow technology from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to enable digital transformation in industry and infrastructure faster and at scale. Since adopting the new solution, DOH reduced CO2 emissions by more than 5,000 metric tons; it should reach 16,000 tons per annum from this year.
“We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with Hamad International Airport. Our smart infrastructure solutions aim to enhance energy efficiency, ensuring real cost savings and environmental advantages,” said Hakan Ozdemir, CEO, Siemens in Qatar. “This partnership set a benchmark in energy efficiency, showcasing the pivotal role of innovative technologies and strategic partnerships in realizing Qatar’s sustainability goals.”
