Energy and AI AI and climate change
…2030. In the Lift-Off Case, data centres see the largest emissions growth among all sectors. AI applications in the energy sector are being used for a wide range of optimisations, some of which lead to emissions reductions, whether directly through reduced energy needs or otherwise: Methane emissions reductions in oil and gas operations – a large source of this sector’s methane emissions come from leaks; AI can facilitate detection so that repairs can happen sooner, for example through better identification using satellite monitoring systems.Power sector emissions reductions by improving efficiencies at fossil fuel-powered plants; for example, by…

Ultra-fast charging batteries
GEVO 2026 - Chapter 8 New power‑electronics materials, battery cell technologies and battery pack architectures are enabling more efficient, higher‑voltage – and therefore faster – charging systems. Advances in batteries and power electronics are improving EV performance Over the past decade, average EV battery pack energy density (Wh/kg) has increased by around 60%, while prices have fallen by roughly 75%. Moreover, in 2023, battery-related patents accounted for 40% of all energy-sector patents, suggesting that more developments are still to come. At the same time, new power‑electronics materials, battery cell technologies and battery pack architectures are enabling more efficient, higher‑voltage – and…
