Digitalisation

The EU ceramic industry represents an annual production value of around €30 billion. The EU Emissions Trading System covers over 1200 ceramic installations. Ceramic products can be reused, recycled or recovered after their end-of-life.

2019 data show primary production in Europe is flat, despite a growing demand for aluminium products. This is due to tensions on the aluminium supply chain caused by trade issues at global level and high energy prices. There are 15 smelters in the EU,.

The European Cement Association published its Carbon Neutrality Roadmap. Roadmap sets out the cement industry's ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050. By 2030, CEMBUREAU aspires to be in line with the Paris Agreements two.

Some people call the geographic information system (GIS) a digital twin of the grid. GIS captures grid assets and their locations. It includes their attributes and some behavior. The problem for many utilities is that GIS has many brothers and sisters that.

2019 was quite a year for digitalization in the Utility sector. Digitalization has become a dominant, if not permanent part of the Utility lexicon. In 2019 alone, the Utility Industry will have spent over $60 billion on digitalization initiatives.

Researchers developed the most detailed model to date of global data center energy use. The model provides a more nuanced view of data Center energy use and its drivers. More efforts are needed to better monitor energy use moving forward, lead author says.

Data has transformed how utilities operate, by expanding the volume and resolution of energy use data. The acceleration of electrification and decarbonization will make managing data as a strategic asset increasingly necessary. Data driven decision making creates operational efficiencies and drives cost reductions.

5G is the fifth generation of mobile networking technology. It is more than a slightly faster version of 4G. 5G will offer much higher speeds, lower latency, and the ability to accommodate many more devices. utilities should research the many opportunities.

Digitalisation offers opportunities for high-skilled employment and innovation, integration of renewable energy, and cuts in operating costs. Digital twins and data analytics continuously optimise manufacturing processes for efficiency and safety. The number of connected devices worldwide is projected to grow from 15.
