Energy transition The future is networked

 

The 1.5-degree target is unattainable without a comprehensive energy transformation. But how can it succeed? What digital solutions are already available and where are innovations needed? How can we accelerate the transformation and overcome the hurdles of building a climate-neutral energy system?

We dive deep into the issue and present digital, innovative solutions.

The Power of Nowcasting to Achieve More Efficient Solar Energy Grids

To date, nowcasting research has primarily concentrated on rainfall prediction, while solar forecasting remains relatively unexplored. Advances in the field are crucial for improving solar energy reliability and efficiency.

It’s Now Possible to Print Highly Efficient, Ultra-Thin Solar Cells

Solar energy technology is constantly developing. What new possibilities does this open up and what role can these defect-tolerant solar cells play in smart infrastructure?

How a New Battery Regulation Should Make Europe’s Batteries More Sustainable

A green future needs sustainable batteries. A new battery regulation in the EU should create better conditions for this in the future. But how does it work?

How Digitalisation Can Help Neighbourhoods Share Electricity

More players in the market are key to driving the shift away from fossil fuels — and digitalisation plays an important role. However, digital technologies themselves are also energy-hungry. But there are ways to keep the additional energy consumption low.

French Start-up ROSI Is Engineering a Solution to Solar Energy’s Waste Problem

Solar panels only have a lifespan of around 25-30 years, and the vast majority end up in landfill. French start-up ROSI is developing a way to recycle them with the help of EU funding.

Utilising Waste Heat From Data Centres: How Our Browser Activity Could Soon Be Used to Heat Our Buildings

Data centres consume huge amounts of energy – and generate plenty of heat in the process. In Sweden, thousands of households are already heated with server heat. Could this be a potential source of clean energy?

How AI Could Drastically Drive Down the Trucking Sector’s Accelerating Environmental Impact

The trucking sector is relatively low-hanging fruit when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. Here's how AI and other technologies are seeking to revolutionise it.
