- Event 22 October 2019 Powering Digital Transformation through Sustainable Datacentres Meet us at the High Tech Summit 2019 where UNEP DTU is hosting a track on Powering Digital Transformation through Sustainable Datacentres. Datacenters have an important role to play in digital transformation. Today’s datacenters have the potential to become a dynamic change agent within smart urban systems. The growth of inefficient datacentre brings irreversible economic and environmental ramifications to the society. Currently, the world's datacentres consumed 3% of global electricity with a…
- News 9 October 2019 Urban mobility under transformation Today, more than 50% of the world’s population live in urban areas. As more than two billion people will be added to the global population in the coming decades and urban populations continue to grow, the question arises: how can people and the goods they require be moved more efficiently than they are today? Today, the transport sector accounts for almost two-thirds of global energy consumption. It produces approximately one-third of global energy-related CO2 emissions and is the primary…
- Event 8 October 2019 Powering Digital Transformation through Sustainable Datacentres - Organized by UNEP DTU Partnership Datacenters have an important role to play in digital transformation. Today’s datacenters have the potential to become a dynamic change agent within smart urban systems. The growth of inefficient datacentre brings irreversible economic and environmental ramifications to the society. Currently, the world's datacentres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry datacentres now are responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the…
- News 23 September 2019 New global effort on climate change targets 3% increase in energy efficiency per year A new coalition of countries, businesses and international organizations today committed to driving a three percent global increase in energy efficiency each year – a move that can help limit climate change and increase global prosperity. Launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York, the Three Percent Club builds on International Energy Agency (IEA) research showing that the right efficiency policies could deliver over 40 per cent of the emissions cuts needed to reach the goals of the…
- Podcast 10 September 2019 Derisking investments into green buildings Problem: Energy efficiency is becoming more and more recognised as a cost-effective mitigation measure for achieving the Paris Agreement and SDGs, however, it is considered a not very tangible, not too sexy, relatively fragmented and small-scale efforts. The question that many actors are facing in the field is to how to bring the scale to Energy Efficiency on the local, national and global level. Key message: Derisking buildings through green mortgages can help to bring scale to energy…
- Webinar & E-Learning 10 September 2019 Analysis of hydrogen fuel cell and battery efficiency (Presentation) – 27.02.2019 The transition towards a world free of carbon emissions will determine the future of this generation. The scale required for the energy transition is massive and affects every sector of the economy. Except electricity, hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources might be an alternative if cost effective and efficient production technologies can be developed. As the world accelerating its effort to reduce – and even eliminate – the use of fossil fuels from the energy sector, electric…
- News 5 September 2019 Blockchain hackathon win for UNEP DTU Partnership researcher Innovative technologies and solutions are needed to reach the goals set out in the Paris Agreement if we are to reach our goals of a climate resilient world. Combining UNEP DTU Partnership research in blockchain technology with practical application of the technology resulted in a first place at a blockchain hackathon at the European Blockchain Center. UNEP DTU Partnership PhD researcher Marco Schletz was part of the team that worked on a use case presented by the EU Commission to develop “real…
