Disruptive technologies in energy and environment

Abstract

The global carbon emissions have increased over the years and as an effect has become a worldwide problem. The systematic use and management of the present technologies to improve energy performance and efficiency can have a huge impact on the environment and global carbon emissions. Few among the various emerging technologies are Artificial Intelligence, Automation, IoT, and Blockchain, blockchain still being in its infant stage of growth in energy sectors and industries. This paper presents a few of the available sources in each of these sectors, supported by simulations and existing practices being implemented.
