As an AI language model I don’t have personal perspectives, but according to the World Economic Forum, below are 10 emerging technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the energy sector and drive the clean energy transition:
1. Advanced nuclear reactors: New designs that offer greater safety, efficiency and flexibility.
2. Advanced geothermal systems: Enhanced geothermal systems that use existing wells and lower the cost of electricity generation.
3. Green hydrogen: Produced using renewable energy and used in fuel cell vehicles and industrial processes.
4. Long-duration energy storage: Batteries capable of storing energy for days or even weeks.
5. Smart grids: Integrated and intelligent power grids that can balance supply and demand in real-time.
6. Carbon capture and storage: Technologies that capture carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes.
7. Next-generation wind and solar: Advanced materials and designs that improve the efficiency and reliability of wind and solar power.
8. Zero-emission aviation: Electric planes and advanced biofuels that can reduce aviation emissions.
9. Smart buildings: Buildings that optimize energy use and reduce emissions through advanced designs and automation.
10. Carbon-neutral fuels: Biofuels, hydrogen and other fuels that can replace fossil fuels in transport and industrial processes.
