Hamad International Airport (DOH) has teamed up with Siemens to enhance its district cooling system, aiming to reduce energy consumption and support the airport’s expansion plans. Completed in November 2023, this initiative aligns with the airport’s sustainability objectives, which include a 30% reduction in carbon efficiency by 2030.
The airport’s district cooling system comprises five plants with a combined production capacity of 62,000 tonnes, sufficient to meet the airport’s cooling needs. As part of the ongoing Phase B expansion and to decrease electricity consumption for cooling, the airport adopted Siemens’ patented Demand Flow technology from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, which facilitates rapid and scalable digital transformation in industry and infrastructure.
Since implementing Siemens’ solution, Hamad International Airport has cut its CO2 emissions by over 5,000 metric tonnes since 2021. This figure is projected to rise to 16,000 tonnes annually starting in 2024.
Commenting on the partnership, Michael McMillan, Senior Vice President, Facilities Management at Hamad International Airport, said: “As the ‘World’s Best Airport’, Hamad International Airport also needs to be the best airport for the world by growing responsibly. 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.”
Hakan Ozdemir, CEO of Siemens in Qatar, remarked, “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. This partnership set a benchmark in energy efficiency, showcasing the pivotal role of innovative technologies and strategic partnerships in realizing Qatar’s sustainability goals.”
This partnership underscores the critical role of sustainable and efficient infrastructure development. Utilizing Siemens’ Demand Flow technology, the airport expects to reduce energy consumption and costs by 23% each year, accommodating the cooling demands essential for its growth.
Aligned with Qatar’s 2030 National Vision on climate change, Hamad International Airport’s environmental sustainability goals aim to foster industry collaboration to reduce emissions and combat climate change, continuously enhancing the environmental performance of its facilities.
