Build capacity in the workforce to leverage AI for the energy transformation. 01 Increase collaboration between technology and energy companies to deploy more carbon-free energy while making it more available and more affordable for all. 03 04 02 Invest in AI for the energy transformation with a focus in four key areas: tripling the availability of renewable energy, building a resilient grid, reducing methane emissions, and utilizing carbon capture and storage. 05 Develop AI with and for emerging economies to meet their unique needs. 06 Establish data standards and protocols for AI to better support the energy sector. 07 Advance policy and governance for responsible, sustainable AI and a secure and inclusive transition transformation to a net-zero energy system. Expand and enhance grid capacity and increase availability of carbon-free electricity, especially in locally stressed grids or regions—while continuing to innovate to increase energy efficiency. Recommendations for realizing AI's potential for the energy transformation The potential for the energy and technology sectors to accelerate a just, orderly, and equitable energy transition to net-zero whilst minimizing the emissions footprint of AI is huge. But success is not inevitable: It requires collaboration between both sectors, along with academia, governments, and others to develop the abilities of AI and effectively deploy them in the energy sector.
