    Applying Digital Technologies Across the Energy Value Chain
    Digitalization/AI/Machine Learning/Robotics/Cybersecurity

    Digital technologies have a significant potential to accelerate clean energy transitions across the energy sector. Across the energy sector, digitalization is helping to reduce costs, improve efficiency and reduce emissions.  As an example, in the power sector, digital technologies can help integrate increasing shares of variable renewables and improve the reliability of grids. Where are the new opportunities to use digital technologies to accelerate energy transition?  What are the barriers to implementation?

    The Role of Digital and AI in Accelerating the Innovation Cycle

    With the deepening need to both balance energy security and accelerate the energy transition, the need to lower costs and improve efficiencies is well understood. This session explores what role AI and broader forms of digitalization might play in accelerating these innovation cycles to drive operational efficiencies and increase safety. We'll discuss with industry leaders, technology leaders, and public policymakers how technology is improving productivity gains, key material discovery processes, more effective sourcing and qualifying new ideas, scaling new technologies and favorably impacting cost curves.
