The 21st Century has been defined by the rapid growth of digitalisation across all areas of our lives. At the start of 2000, the use of Wifi broadband internet or smartphones were almost non-existent. The rapid change in digital technology has also infiltrated the energy sector and its role in helping advance the energy transition is increasing.
In this episode of Energy Enablers, David speaks to Matthias Rebellius, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure about how digital tools can help manage the ongoing energy crises and promote decarbonisation.
The Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, will speak to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.

Embrace the potential of hydrogen for heating buildings
Green hydrogen is considered to be an energy carrier of the future, but many people are not aware that it can also be used to heat buildings. As a complementary fuel, hydrogen can be truly efficient, economical and sustainable all at the same time. Plus, when used to store surplus clean energy, hydrogen can also help balance the electricity grid—a major challenge when leveraging renewables, says Henning Sandfort of Siemens Smart Infrastructure
