ZUG, Switzerland. Oct 14, 2025 – Siemens and Airbus have expanded their partnership with a new contract focused on reducing emissions at Airbus’ industrial sites in the U.S. and U.K. The initiative supports Airbus’ plan to lower its environmental footprint by minimizing CO₂ emissions and energy use. Under the framework agreement, Siemens will apply its decarbonization technologies to help Airbus achieve an annual reduction of 80 kt CO2e abated annually from 2030. The project will be led by Siemens’ Buildings business with support from Capgemini.
Decarbonization at Scale: Scalable Solutions for Measurable Impact
Siemens will assess each Airbus site and develop a decarbonization masterplan to reduce energy usage. Energy system twins will simulate and test different roadmaps to identify the suitable strategy for each site. Key elements include decarbonization of heat production via heat pumps, improving energy efficiency, and smart metering systems. The plan also involves integrating renewable energy sources and using energy management devices to monitor, control, and optimize usage across the sites. These actions support Airbus’ goals of reducing energy use by 20% and reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2030, compared to 2015 levels.
Siemens has selected Capgemini to support the program’s first phase consulting, governance setup, and project management planning. Capgemini will also apply its expertise in digitalization and automation to enhance energy monitoring and measurement systems.
“Our collaboration with Airbus is built on years of mutual trust and shared ambition. It highlights Siemens’ capability to deliver smart and scalable technologies and services to reduce the carbon footprint of Airbus. At Siemens, we’re committed to making the energy transition not only sustainable, but also achievable and scalable, so that Airbus and other industrial leaders can confront climate challenges while boosting operational resilience and long-term competitiveness,” said Susanne Seitz, CEO of Buildings at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
“We’re proud to be taking this important step toward making our operations more energy-efficient and future-ready. Collaborating with trusted partners is key in building a more resilient industrial footprint. The site-specific expertise from our Airbus colleagues in the U.K. and the U.S. combined with Siemens’ technical know-how will keep us on the path toward meeting our energy use and emission reduction targets,” said Florent Massou dit Labaquere, EVP operations of Airbus commercial aircraft.
Roadmap to 2030
The initial phase began in summer 2025 with creating decarbonization roadmaps for each Airbus site. Engineering studies will guide implementation, and infrastructure deployment is scheduled to start in 2026. Siemens may also operate and maintain the new systems to ensure efficiency and reliability.
Siemens and Airbus have collaborated for more than 50 years on projects in factory automation, industrial software, building systems, and safety technology. The new agreement extends this partnership to advance Airbus’ sustainability goals and reduce its operational environmental impact.
