The integration of renewables into our energy system offers a multitude of advantages, ranging from environmental benefits to socio-economic improvements. Renewable energy implementation has both opportunities and limitations. On one hand, renewable energy offers energy security and helps reduce the impact of climate change by lowering carbon emissions and promoting a more resilient energy infrastructure. On the other hand, there are limitations like the intermittency of renewable energy resources such as solar and wind, difficulty in developing cost-effective energy storage solutions and lack of public awareness on real-world implementation of those technologies. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the opportunities presented by renewable energy technologies are essential for driving energy transition.

Moderator: Caspar Herzberg, CEO AVEVA
THEME: Innovative tech, industries and governments must come together to drive connected change in our overheating world. As the climate crisis accelerates, it’s no surprise that industries and governments are looking at fast-track routes to net zero, working with digital leaders to deliver measurable decarbonization progress. 
With inputs from government leaders, industry and technology innovators, AVEVA’s Caspar Herzberg will lead a discussion on how leading companies are engaging with policy-makers and leveraging digital solutions to make progress across their operations and support their value chain partners on their mitigation journeys. In the context of the ongoing COP negotiations, the panel will ask what should be the next priorities for collaborative action to respond to the climate crisis, and how can tech leaders help pave the way?

The cost of producing green hydrogen is dependent on the price of renewable energy, the advancement of electrolyser technology, and the accessibility of water for electrolysis. Presently, the average cost of green hydrogen exceeds both grey and blue hydrogen. Howe3ver, through technology innovation and supply chain optimization the price of green hydrogen will become increasingly competitive, paving the way for an affordable green hydrogen economy.
