Between potentially mishandling the Iran Nuclear Deal, and alienating the burgeoning nuclear power programs in the Middle East, the U.S. risks bungling an opportunity to direct the region’s nuclear future and, instead, might cede that leadership to Russia or China.

Fossil fuels, a vision of the future or something our children will see in history books? Part I. What is up with the world? The energy markets, broadly taken to be fossil fuels and renewables, have seen significant changes over the past years. While it is expected fossil fuel demand will rise, the broad consensus amongst most outlooks is that the growth will eventually plateau due to energy efficiency and developments in renewables.

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.

The main trends in human energy needs are population growth, an economic population shift towards the middle classes and energy efficiency. Population growth will plateau after 2030-2040, causing energy demand to stabilize and decline afterwards. The current overcapacity in the oil markets will ensure a lasting shift in fossil markets. In this new, competitive landscape operational costs will have to be significantly brought down in order to stay afloat. causing major disruptions for the oil and

String Inverter Definition: A device used with solar arrays to convert the energy that is generated (Direct Current) to usable electricity for a home (Alternating Current). They are connected to multiple solar panels forcing the performance to be equal to the worst performing panel.
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
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.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.

Microinverter Definition: A device used with solar arrays to convert the energy that is generated (Direct Current) to usable electricity for a home (Alternating Current). Each micro-inverter is connected to a single solar panel for maximum control and reliability. Breaking Down Microinverters: A solar micro-inverter is one of two types of inverters that can be used with a home solar system.
