Renewable Microgrids

whitePaper | December 8, 2021

Power outages are on the rise and grid resiliency is a growing concern. The number and intensity of severe weather events are increasing. Physical and cyber attacks are a growing threat. And aging grid infrastructure complicates system management. These metrics signal a need for grid infrastructure updates - and an exciting opportunity to rethink the grid and re-examine outdated concepts in power delivery that no longer serve the energy users of today.

Decarbonizing heavy-duty trucking and accelerating the European hydrogen economy

whitePaper | March 28, 2022

The role of hydrogen as a key decarbonisation tool has become the subject of significant international interest. Over 30 countries have published hydrogen roadmaps, industry has announced over 200 hydrogen projects, and governments worldwide have committed more than USD70 billion in public funding.1 Hydrogen is a uniquely versatile fuel that can be used in a range of applications as a replacement for fossil fuels. Low-carbon hydrogen has come to be seen as a vital energy carrier for hard-to-abate sectors – where decarbonisation faces technical, operational and economic obstacles, such as the steel and heavy-duty trucking industries

Scaling up the American wind industry

whitePaper | January 23, 2023

Since its inception in the 1980s, the wind industry has established itself as a critical source of clean, renewable energy – a role it must maintain into the future. Going forward, the continued growth of the global wind industry will prove ever more important, with DNV estimating that 5.6 terawatts of onshore wind energy and nearly three terawatts of offshore wind must be generated to achieve a “pathway to net zero” scenario by 2050

Utilising the full potential of Italy's renewable energy future

whitePaper | November 20, 2019

In the National Energy and Climate Plan, NECP, Italy sets forward its roadmap how to meet the energy and climate targets set by the EU. Achieving these targets requires actions of all sectors in the society, increasing renewable energy in transport, heating, electricity etc. These targets include among others having 32% of final energy consumption of renewable origin and reducing CO2 emissions by 40% compared to 1990 levels by 2030.

CPUs and Greenhouse Gases: Why Data Center Processor Selection Matters in Achieving Sustainability Goals

whitePaper | August 23, 2022

Data centers are major consumers of electricity, both for powering servers and keeping them cool. Despite the progress that large data center operators have made in improving efficiency, power demand is expected to continue to grow steadily for the foreseeable future. While hyperscale operators have made great strides in shifting to renewable energy sources, the reality is that fossil fuels generate 60% of U.S. electricity
