Guest Post: The Path to AI-Powered Sustainability and ESG Lies in Partner Ecosystems

ESG Today

We have operationalized smart grid management systems that use AI to predict and adjust energy supply based on real-time data from renewable energy sources, reducing waste and enhancing efficiency. This has helped to secure food systems and simultaneously reduce resource use.

What to do with old coal plants, gas stations in the energy transition? Recycle them

Corporate Knights

Reusing space in an energy transition At a time when more local smart grid projects — bringing together local renewables, battery storage, smart controls, heat pumps and electric vehicles — are being developed, there’s a need to consider how to go beyond recycling to reuse existing space and infrastructure.

The benefits of being a climate optimist

Corporate Knights

The reality was impressive enough for 2005: some of the first industrial-scale wind turbines I’d ever laid eyes on, gathered in small clusters of two or three in farmers’ fields, solar thermal plants large enough to heat whole towns, and hyper-efficient district heating plants burning pellets made of waste straw.

Open letter: Our governments must act now to decarbonize and expand the electricity system, or Canada will fail to reach net-zero by 2050. 

CREA

Our 25 organizations, representing a diverse range of interests, are writing to express our serious concern that Canada is not acting with the urgency required to build the foundation required to meet our climate-change commitments—a decarbonized and much expanded electricity system. There is much to do and there is no time to waste.

How European Climate Policy Can Bolster Energy Efficiency Measures

3BL Media

These are just a few of the nightmare scenarios evoked by UN Secretary General António Guterres following the publication in April of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate science. Digital technologies render energy waste visible. The findings could scarcely be starker.

The Impact of AI on Carbon Emissions

3BL Media

In this article, we’ll explore the impact of AI on carbon emissions and the climate change crisis. Smart grids, for example, use AI to balance energy loads and reduce wastage. For example, AI-driven optimizations in energy grids and supply chains can result in substantial long-term emissions reductions.
