Artificial intelligence (AI) is a linchpin in the clean tech sector’s push for a net-zero future. Sustainability is intertwined with technology, where data analytics and machine learning forecast energy needs, enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon emissions​​.

Leaders in the industry emphasize a shift from traditional energy provision to a software-centric approach, leveraging AI for better asset management and risk mitigation​​​​. Just as a practical example, a solar and battery storage installation, users own consumption patterns, dynamic buy and sell prices, from the grid and weather create both a challenge and opportunity to optimise and maximise returns.

AI’s role is not just operational but also strategic, fostering innovation and operationalizing sustainability, as shown by AI’s application in remote asset inspections​​​​. McKinsey Using digital and AI to meet the energy sector’s net zero challenge Mckinsey July 18, 2023

The collective ambition of industry leaders and the innovative application of AI are steering the cleantech sector towards a greener, more sustainable future.
