The report concludes with hydrogen's potential in the global energy transition.

There are several ways that AI can be used to support energy management. The field of AI for energy efficiency is an active area of research and development, and new applications are being discovered all the time.

Worldwide, electric motor systems consume about 10,700 TWh annually worldwide and were responsible for 53% of the global electric energy consumption in 2016. This corresponds to approximately the combined electricity consumption of China. Digitalization technologies for electric motor driven systems will have a significant impact on the motor systems industry, offering vast potential for improvements in performance, efficiency, and cost.

The EU Taxonomy Regulation aims to provide clear and consistent criteria for identifying environmentally sustainable activities. In addition, the EU Taxonomy Regulation also requires financial market participants to report on the environmental sustainability of their investments, one of the reasons why green loans are becoming more popular.

The market for energy efficient pump systems in industry is expected to reach $16.3 billion by 2025. The market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products and services.

A Space-based Solar Power (SSP) station would have the potential to mitigate climate change through the provision of clean energy. SSP is not only considered more efficient than ground-based solar stations but it is also immaculately clean and infinitely available.

In the EU alone, more than 70% of heating and cooling is generated from fossil fuels. In principle, industry can rather easily decarbonize their electricity consumption, just buy green electricity. The real challenge is how to decarbonise industrial heat.

Biomass plays a crucial role in the production of zero-carbon heat and electricity. The future of biomass in industrial applications remains promising. Some industries, such as the cement industry, have already invested heavily in adapting their processes to use biomass.
