New utility and third-party offerings are emerging to meet charging needs, but they are not available everywhere.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Industrial heat, vital for making things like glass and concrete, has been lumped in with the "hard problems" of decarbonization. There's a roadmap to decarbonize the electric grid and ground transportation. The pathway is not so clear for tasks like air travel, long-distance shipping and energy-intensive industrial processes. Serial entrepreneur Bill Gross decided to tackle the heat problem, not by inventing a new heating technology, but improving one that already exists.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

How much capital for renewables is likely to be deployed going forward, and where will it come from? Wood Mackenzie estimates that the combined global capex spend on wind and solar projects will range from around $165 billion to $190 billion a year between 2020 and 2035. That calculation is based on realistic growth scenarios, and project development at a global average cost of around $1.00 per watt for onshore wind and solar.

How higher-voltage battery packs enable faster charging ecosystems. Porsche took on a considerable engineering challenge when it decided to design an 800 V EV system for the Taycan , because nearly every other hybrid and EV in the world operates at 400 V or less.
