The experts pointed out that the high or low development of renewables also depends on the governmental decisions of each country
The digitization and the innovation can be a key player in the energy transition By helping renewables function better, experts agreed during the ICT and Carbon Neutrality forum, how did we get there?
Also, during the event organized by Huawei within the framework of the presentation of your sustainability, experts evaluated the role of digitization towards the energy transition, especially in regions such as Latin America.
In that sense, Maximiliano Morrone, director of Efergía assured that renewable energies are an option to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the countries of the region will have to make a great effort to achieve neutrality by 2050.
At the by, Yael maldonado, consultant at Natura Environment Mexico, stressed that even the 2030 goals could be very ambitious; Therefore, he reiterated that Latin America has a great opportunity for the development of these energies.
However the Dr. René Arnold, vice president of public affairs at Huawei, pointed out that it is urgent to achieve a carbon neutral economy as quickly as possible.
“Two things are needed globally. First, a drastic transition to renewables, but on the other hand decarbonization efforts must also be made; take advantage of technologies to remove the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, store it and give it another use ”, he commented.
Goals are ambitious for 2050
Against this background, Dr. Arnold stated that while the global goals for 2050 are very ambitious, it will be possible to meet them by investing in innovation and digitization along with behavioral change to make it possible.
In addition, Morrone stressed that all change will also depend on the government decisions, Well, there have been ups and downs in the development of renewable energies in recent years.
“The importance of digitization, of the decentralization of decarbonization that is beginning to be talked about in the energy sector, basically depends on the political will and market disposition. Citizens play a different role in the energy transition; and we can become agents of change ”, he commented.
For its part, Ana Lía Rojas, co-founder at EnerConnex, warned that if countries do not focus on a green recovery or a carbon neutral recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be many challenges by 2050.
“The private sector has to invest in these types of activities; If we continue to invest in fossils there is no way to achieve carbon neutral by 2050, ”he predicted.
In the same way, Luis Vazquez, executive manager of industry solutions at Huawei stressed that more and more companies are beginning to use digital technologies to achieve their goals of being carbon neutral in their global operations.
