New state of the art technologies to increase sustainability

Technology is generating new opportunities and business models through two avenues: physical and virtual, says Gustavo Copelmayer. Assets such as wind turbines, photovoltaics, electric vehicles, battery storage, microgrids, and other distributed energy (DER) resources join digital solutions such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data to help organizations become more sustainable, agile, effective and safe. However, the energy consumption of these practices is being evaluated as a clear question.

Despite this, connectivity and the Internet are clearly on the rise even in this time of pandemic and the search for the new reality, which according to recent measurements of the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System (Sela), the companies that digitized their processes have remained, with a certain degree of stability and financial health.
