Empowering Climate Change with AI
Join Energize Capital Partner Juan Muldoon as he discusses the critical role of software and AI in climate tech. Discover how these technologies are shaping the future of energy and environmental sustainability.
The Impact of AI in Climate Tech
AI is revolutionizing the energy sector in two key ways:
- Computational Intensity: AI requires massive amounts of power, leading to increased energy consumption and potential applications.
- This surge in power demand is expected to grow by 7 to 10% yearly, driving the need for innovative solutions in energy production and management.
- Accelerating Energy Transition: AI enables workflow automation, reducing costs, and improving renewable energy project development and deployment.
- Case in point, Twice, a portfolio company, uses AI to optimize battery performance, predicting behavior, state of charge, and capacity for enhanced resource utilization at scale.
- While political shifts may alter the pace of progress, the fundamental direction towards renewable energy remains unchanged.
- Economic viability drives the adoption of renewable technologies like wind, solar, and batteries, signaling a continued shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
- Europe, with its diverse energy landscape, offers unique opportunities for climate-related investments.
- Midwestern cities like Chicago leverage industry expertise to drive innovation and sustainability in the energy sector.
Biden’s Infrastructure Agenda and Energy Transition
President Biden’s policy initiatives, including the Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Act, are propelling the energy transition forward.
