Digital Technology: The Backbone Of Net-Zero Emissions

In a net-zero emissions world, digital technologies and solutions will be the backbone of energy systems. The future of energy is decarbonized, decentralized, and digital.

As we progress in this transformative decade for our industry, digitalisation is already transforming the energy industry, by improving efficiency and safety as well as by helping to drive the energy transition.

Read the report “Digital technology: The backbone of a net-zero emissions future”, to understand why digital technologies will be key to the net-zero transition, and to explore the readiness of industry sectors to decarbonise through digitalisation.

For more information about how we can accelerate the energy transition with Web3 technologies, read this complementary article with MIT Technology Review Insights.

350 C-suite executives from North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific have been survey for this report. The survey is enhanced by direct interviews with 9 companies executives and experts from Accenture, GHGSat, the Indian Institute of Technology, Microsoft, Next Kraftwerke, SAP, Shell, UltraTech Cement, and the World Economic Forum.

The eight industry sectors include energy, metals and mining, industrial manufacturing, construction, technology industry, transport, petrochemical manufacturing, and retail/mobility.
