DOHA: Siemens, the world’s leading provider of environmental technologies, yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Qatar-based GreenGulf Inc, a company dealing in renewable energy and clean technology, for cooperation in developing and implementing potential projects in energy efficiency and urban transportation such as e-Bus in the emirate, said a press statement.
The agreement includes the identification, conceptualisation, and development of opportunities and possible pilot projects that are of interest to both companies in areas including energy optimization and supply management, energy-efficient district cooling technologies and the e-Bus urban transport system in Qatar.
The e-Bus, which is currently in operation in Vienna, Austria, recharges within 15 minutes and recovers braking energy. The MoU is expected to form the basis of a future business partnership.
