Digital Energy Net

Energy storage technology provides flexibility to support renewable energy expansion and meet net-zero goals. Battery energy storage, which converts chemical energy directly to electricity, has emerged as one of the more popular large-scale solutions, while other storage methods may include compressed air, superconducting magnets or underground pumped hydroelectric storage. Energy storage technology can also be…

Urban mobility refers to the movement of people within cities and includes modes such as modal split, personal transport and the use of public transit systems. Furthermore, it encompasses freight transportation within urban environments. Urban mobility concerns are central to economic sustainability and residents’ quality of life; therefore, an effective mobility system must be in…

Zoning regulations dictate which buildings and activities can take place on certain parcels of land, which can have an effect on its cost when selling or developing it. Municipalities use zoning laws to keep incompatible businesses and homes apart, reduce noise pollution and preserve natural and built resources. Residential Zoning regulations are designed by local…

Land is limited and must be managed efficiently for housing development purposes. Land use planners must employ strategic strategies in managing available resources effectively. Land-use regulations such as zoning laws help maintain incompatible uses of land apart from each other and minimize environmental hazards like polluting industrial plants that threaten nearby neighborhoods. Zoning Zoning is…

Digital Governance (DG) is a policy framework that ensures security and compliance while supporting an organisation’s strategy, goals and objectives. A strong digital governance system also increases operational efficiency while building trust. Reluctance among staff and board members to implement new policies can be one of the biggest barriers to digital governance implementation, but providing…

Community engagement refers to the idea that communities can shape interactions between governmental agencies and them, as well as any methods used for these interactions. It may also refer to approaches which govern these encounters. Participatory planning encompasses a wide array of activities that can be tailored to specific projects or goals, for instance planners…

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer immediate health benefits by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; furthermore, their environmental protection benefits will last generations afterward. Electric vehicle (EV) drivers also help reduce utility rates for all by plugging in overnight when demand is lowest, a practice known as revenue decoupling. Unfortunately, range anxiety and the upfront…

Carbon capture and storage technology aims to prevent fossil fuel CO2 emissions from polluting the atmosphere, by collecting gas at power plants or industrial facilities before depositing it underground in geological formations for permanent storage. Captured CO2 is transported either via pipeline or ship for storage, typically by using structural trapping, in which impermeable rock…

As part of meeting the United Nation’s 1.5degC target and to avoid irreversible climate change, global greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced to ensure we reach an equilibrium state and meet this goal. This requires restricting future warming while encouraging development in areas less exposed to climate impacts as well as protecting open spaces…

Energy policy addresses issues surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of energy resources. Its goal is to optimize use of resources while mitigating environmental impacts. Countries create and implement energy policies tailored to their national interests. These may include decarbonization, system reliability, resource diversification, technology export potential and economic costs. National Interests National security demands…
