Driving power sector emissions down to zero is essential to achieve a net-zero economy. The electrification of energy demand in all other sectors is only effective under the assumption that power sector emissions fall to zero. A 2017 meta analysis of power sector models found that while creating a net-zero power system based solely on variable renewable power was possible, this would require a significant overbuild of capacity to ensure reliable power supply. Power systems based solely on variable renewables were several times more expensive than systems where 80% of power was supplied by variable renewables.

Green transport chain management means that process optimization reduces energy and material savings. More efficiently designed logistics processes with integrated IT systems make better use of storage capacities and avoid empty runs. The goal is to use less energy, produce fewer emissions during transportation and storage, have less packaging waste, and do as few but precisely coordinated work steps as possible.

Electric utility regulatory frameworks and financial incentives can address barriers to energy efficiency, renewable energy, and distributed energy resources (DERs) that are inherent in traditional utility regulatory models. Legislatures and electric utility regulators (often called public utility commissions) in many states are refining or replacing traditional utility financial policies to encourage utility actions and programs aligned with state policy goals. These states are adopting regulatory frameworks and financial incentives including revenue decoupling, multi-year rate plans (MYRPs), performance-based regulation (PBR), and performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs).

Executives face more pressure than ever to accelerate their journey to carbon neutrality. As organizations commit to reducing their environmental impact, investors, consumers, governments, and regulatory agencies expect transparency and measurable results as it relates to sustainability. Executing on strategies for environmental sustainability often includes a mix of approaches. IT has the opportunity to reduce impact immediately through optimization of cloud and data center resource consumption and minimize it continuously. Prioritizing sustainable resource consumption offers quick wins that last, as you also initiate longer-term investments in renewable energy, more efficient hardware, and the like.

The power grid is changing and adding more renewable energy. To help in this transition, businesses can participate in grid programs that incentivize flexible energy use. In this eBook, find out: How businesses can earn revenue with assets like renewables, batteries, or even altered energy usage. What value streams are offered by grid operators and governments. Why combining multiple assets creates more value.

The frontiers of the global energy transition are constantly shifting as countries attempt to emerge out of various health, geopolitical and economic crises. The “polycrisis” has forced countries to reallocate resources and implement measures to address near-term energy security and affordability constraints
