Accelerating the Energy Transition with Digital Transformation

Download logo In early September, the United Nations reported ( https://apo-opa.info/3M2EmJn ) that global emissions need to fall 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035. It found that although we have made progress toward emissions reduction since 2015, when the world was headed for a 3-degree Celsius rise, on our current trajectory, we are still headed for a 2.5 degree rise, far above the 1.5-degree target at which climate crises begin to balloon far beyond what we already are seeing. But how can we make progress and start doing so quickly? The UN study mentioned above ( https://apo-opa.info/3ZVUK45 ) states that industrial emissions comprise 25% of global emissions and identifies energy efficiency improvements as one important pathway to reducing the sector’s emissions. The study notes that energy efficiency improvements in industry could not only make a big difference but also are low cost – on the same scale as solar and wind power generation. Data drives efficiency One of the most effective ways to drive operational efficiencies – which often include or result in energy efficiencies – is to pursue digital transformation. For energy companies, digitizing operations can result in quality, safety, and performance improvements, as well as emission […]
