Answering the call to fight climate change

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: How may businesses leverage opportunities in harnessing clean energy?

Sylvie Ouziel International President Envision Digital

Society is moving away from a Malthusian view of sustainability to embrace decarbonisation as a technology-driven growth and innovation engine. Electrification, renewables and decentralised generation create opportunities for new greentech to enter the market, but equally for incumbents to differentiate. Winning developers design prosuming building, electric-vehicle-ready, leveraging precision cooling and smoothly interacting with the grid. Retailers experience sales increase when deploying photovoltaic panels. Oil and gas companies transition to renewable generation and retailing. More fundamentally, smart greenfication is a trigger for full efficiency: leveraging newly deployed AIoT to automate not only energy-related controls but also facility management and plant maintenance.
