On Wednesday 27th April 2022, C2D3 and Energy IRC jointly hosted the a Data science and AI for sustainability conference.

As we move towards a zero carbon economy to meet climate change targets, it is critical to identify and tackle data and AI challenges associated with the generation, storage and supply of energy.

This is increasingly important from a technology, policy and societal perspective. New technologies for energy networks, smart grids, future cities and future energy trading will require new ways of joined-up thinking about complex data sets, better policy frameworks and government regulation.

This conference brought together academics, industrialists and policymakers to share their research, identify new opportunities and discuss areas where further collaborative work is required to decarbonise the energy sector.
