Autor*in Mark Newton, 08.31.22

At RESET.org we like to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the important issues of climate change, digitisation and technology. And the best way to do that is to speak with the people at the cutting edge of these topics. In the last few weeks we have conducted a series of in depth interviews with experts covering the role digitisation can play in making our energy, industries and societies more sustainable, transparent and efficient. Check out what they have to say in the interviews below!

Interview: Climate Neutrality in Industry 4.0 – How Do We Get There?

In Germany, industry is responsible for around a quarter of all CO2 emissions. We talked to Grischa Beier (IASS Potsdam) about how industry can reduce its massive CO2 emissions with the help of digitalisation. Read now!

The Circular Economy Goes Digital

The "circular economy" doesn't just mean recycling. It aims to fundamentally reduce the amount of waste we produce and potentially create a zero-waste society. With the ever increasing digitisation of our daily lives, we now have more opportunities than ever to keep waste levels low.

A Windy Future: Can Wind Power Lead our Clean Energy Revolution?

Bob Dylan famously claimed "the answer is blowin' in the wind". Does the same apply for our growing energy and environmental crisis?

A Bright Future? How the Next Generation of Solar is Overcoming its Many Challenges

Solar power is one of the best-known sources of renewable energy, but it is still only responsible for 3 percent of global electricity. What's keeping it back and how can it further develop?
