Tackling the barriers to decarbonising industry energy sector
Electrification is the key to our future energy security. While industry recognises the need to shift from fossil fuels to renewable power sources, organisations can benefit from expert help to tackle the barriers to their own energy transition, says Giampiero Frisio, President, ABB Electrification.
Harnessing technology to drive climate action
Climate change has become one of the leading causes of innovation in recent years, particularly for the performance and communication of sensing devices. As days go by, society continues to see direct consequences of the ever-changing weather. Recent events like the wildfires that swept through California and affected several thousand square miles of residential and rural lands remind us of what is at stake. While many are focused on strategies t...
