Science or Fiction? How Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Can Optimize Your Solar Assets Today

November 9, 2018

Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the peak of its hype curve and its applications in the solar energy sector are in the midst of a surge in popularity. Once upon a time confined solely to the domains of science fiction, this technology is transforming the energy landscape, altering how solar assets are managed, operated and maintained. Year after year, the cumulative global PV capacity is increasing by gigawatts, which are highly dependent on operating conditions that are inherently variable and hard to predict.

Green H2 investments from buzz to Boom

whitePaper | September 18, 2022

Decarbonising our societies and economies is arguably the biggest challenge of this century. However, large parts of industry, agriculture or sea transport cannot be decarbonised directly with green electricity. Green hydrogen is therefore key to bringing their CO2 emissions to net zero. As this view becomes increasingly established, green H2 project announcements are skyrocketing. Consequently, green hydrogen is also gaining in importance for investors.

The new energy landscape Impact on and implications for European ports

whitePaper | July 20, 2022

The energy transition is very high on the agenda of Europe’s ports. Being at the same time important economic players and mission driven entities, ports want to be a partner in decarbonising both port activities and the supply chain. Beyond that, ports can also contribute positively to a sustainable economy as clean energy hubs. While the core business of Europe’s ports remains to connect maritime and hinterland transport for goods and passengers in their function as crucial nodes in the supply chain, ports can play an instrumental role in Europe’s new energy landscape. Many ports have already taken concrete steps in that direction. Many others are exploring opportunities. The possibilities are very diverse, so are the ports

Delivering EU energy security through climate action

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

This report draws on insights and analysis by a number of experts to consider whether and how the EU would be able to deal with a full cut off from Russian gas supplies going into the winter of 2022 and out to 2025 without jeopardizing medium-term energy and climate targets. The report covers the nature of the EU’s security of supply challenge, an assessment of the levers which can address this challenge in the short- and mid-term, and recommendations on specific actions for European states to take.

Better Plants 2021 Progress Update

whitePaper | October 27, 2021

As of October 2021, more than 250 companies have partnered with DOE in the Better Plants Program and Challenge. The Better Plants 2021 Progress Update reports that, to date, partners have saved more than $9 billion dollars and 1.9 quadrillion Btus of energy. Over 60 partners have met their initial energy reduction goals, and many have gone on to set new goals with the U.S Department of Energy. In 2021, twenty new companies joined the program, seven Better Plants partners achieved their energy intensity reduction goals and three partners that previously achieved their energy-intensity reduction goals repledged with new goals.

Greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios for major emitting countries

whitePaper | October 9, 2022

Our findings suggest that emissions are on the way to reach pre-pandemic levels. Of the 25 countries analysed, emissions under current policies have increased from 36.3-36.8 GtCO2e in 2020 to 37.2- 38.1 GtCO2e in 2021; this translates to a rebound of 2.5-3.5% since the COVID-19-induced emissions dip observed in 2020. Recent estimates of global CO2 emissions suggest a rebound of between 4.2% and 6.5% in 2021 (Davis et al., 2022; Jackson et al., 2022)
