Digital solutions driving sustainable energy

Next-generation digital technologies hold the potential to enhance energy supply and demand forecasting, optimise efficiency, and provide more robust models for transition pathways needed to revolutionise the energy systems of today. The ADIPEC Digitalisation & Technology conference will be a hub for industry leaders to share insights, strategies, and advancements that will drive tomorrow's smart and sustainable energy systems.

2024 Digitalisation & Technology Conference Themes

Digitalisation of the energy sector

Advances in digital technology capabilities, declining costs and omnipresent connectivity have led to an increase in the adoption of digital technologies and data-driven insights that have the potential to advance new, clean energy solutions, improve energy efficiency and resilience, and reduce emissions. However, with progress comes new challenges; the energy sector must address risks surrounding the potential loss of jobs through process automation, cybersecurity threats and rising energy demand associated with technologies like AI and data management - demand that will quickly outpace available supply and negatively impact the climate without rapid intervention.

Integrating next-generation technologies with the energy systems of today

As technology solutions continue to flood the market, technologies like AI, IoT, blockchain, and digital twins, all possess great potential to unlock a clean and resilient future energy system. However, the slow-to-adopt nature of the sector combined with legacy IT systems, has slowed down deployment. To fully utilise Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, businesses will need to integrate them into existing systems to achieve technical interoperability necessary to build the energy system of tomorrow.

Building secure, resilient supply chains for critical minerals and rare earths in a competitive global market

In the transition to clean energy, critical minerals and rare earth metals bring new challenges to energy security. According to the IEA, the average amount of minerals needed for a new unit of power generation has increased by 50% since 2010. Evolving geopolitical tensions, rising materials demand, and limited supply combined with an imbalanced market have led to rising commodity prices and supply chain disruptions that leave businesses vulnerable. To reduce risk, businesses must look to diversify supply chains, in the short-term, and look to alternative materials and solutions, in the long- term, so that there is less reliance on a limited supply chain.

Ensuring a human-centric digital evolution

As the digital landscape evolves at a rapid rate, businesses continue to accelerate their digital transformations through the adoption of AI and other fourth-industrial revolution technologies. While the upsides are clear, businesses must also play a role to ensure their transformations are mutually beneficial for people and the wider society. To ensure their workforce is equipped with essential skills and competencies, leaders must look to training and reskilling of the existing workforce. For the potential of emerging digital technologies to be realised, digitally savy and legacy talent must work collaboratively to share experience and drive business operations forward. At the core of these investments must be a human-centric approach to ensure buy-in from employees, customers, and wider society.
