Energy is the largest contributor to emissions by far, representing 62% of emissions (source: Project Drawdown). How can we reduce emissions from energy? We need to add more renewables like solar, wind, and so on - and we also need to switch to electric. But the electrical grid is a major bottleneck in getting there. What if we could leverage AI for energy management to reduce emissions? This could involve leveraging recent advances in AI for peak shaving or load shifting.
