Climate neutrality and the potential of digital energy efficiency technologies - Five application examples
Germany is to meet its energy needs from renewable sources in 30 years. The conversion of Germanys energy supply to green and renewable is a done deal. But there is not much time left to switch completely from fossil fuels to a carbon dioxide-free, green energy supply and to massively reduce energy consumption. There is also a need for smart, intersectoral networking of all areas in which energy is consumed. In three steps to zero greenhouse gases by 2050 via an intermediate target of -65% in 2030 as part of the EU Green Deal. And even then, energy will not be available at "zero emissions zero emissions" rates. After all, even the value added to generate renewable energy is not completely emission-free. If we also take into account the trends of growing global population and prosperity, there will be no way around reducing energy consumption in the future. Digital energy efficiency technologies can help reduce energy use in future. The following application examples show how digital energy efficiency solutions can help.

5 energy sources you have never thought of
Less than 30% of the energy consumed on the planet is converted efficiently. The rest is discharged into the atmosphere in the form of waste heat. Excess heat produced by chillers in a supermarket can end up providing space heating and hot water for flats.
