The report highlights the ability artificial intelligence To improve efficiency Energymanage their complex systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and innovate zero-emission energy solutions, while meeting the growing energy demand from AI data centers.
The report preparation team reviewed the opinions of more than 400 experts in the fields of… Energy, And technologyandartificial intelligenceacademia, and finance, including Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, and Jensen Huang, CEO of “Nvidia“, and Larry Fink, CEO of “Black RockProfessor Anima Annadkumar of the California Institute of Technology and Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of Total Energy.
The survey revealed that 92 percent of energy executives believe that artificial intelligence will have a major impact on improving energy efficiency by 2030, while 97 percent of them expect that artificial intelligence will play a major role in developing new energy solutions by 2050.
These results confirm the ability of artificial intelligence to reduce emissions of traditional energy sources, raise their efficiency, and support a realistic and orderly transition in the energy sector.
It is noteworthy that the report was published before the “ENACT Council”, which was held at the invitation of Dr. Sultan Al JaberUAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and CEO For ADNOC And its group of companies, Chairman of the Board of Directorssource“.
This event will be held in Abu Dhabi On November 3, an event dedicated to CEOs will bring together 60 leaders from the technology, energy, and finance sectors to discuss taking advantage of opportunities and finding solutions that keep pace with rapid and sustainable growth in the field of artificial intelligence.
Dr. Sultan Al Jaber said: “The world is witnessing an important stage for human progress driven by three main trends: the rise of the countries of the Global South and emerging markets, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, and the responsible and orderly transition in the energy sector. Artificial intelligence is one of the most prominent achievements of our time, and it has the ability to Accelerating the pace of change, by enhancing productivity and supporting progress and prosperity, and at the same time, artificial intelligence is leading to a significant increase in energy demand, which no one could have predicted 18 months ago.
He added: “The UAE is always keen to encourage the benefit of advanced technology and artificial intelligence. We are all confident that cooperation to find effective solutions that support the growth and development of artificial intelligence will enhance continuous and comprehensive progress across all aspects and stages of the value chain of the energy sector, and contribute to building a sustainable and prosperous future for future generations.” “.
The report reviews the ability of artificial intelligence to reduce emissions MethaneIt is one of the most influential greenhouse gases, as it is 80 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
The advanced artificial intelligence tools being developed are expected to be able to detect methane leaks with approximately 20 percent greater accuracy than older technologies.
These innovations are also expected to play a major role in enabling the energy sector to implement the “Global Methane Pledge,” which aims to reduce methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030.
For his part, Brad Smith, Vice Chairman and President of Microsoft, said: “This new phase requires doing two things at once: taking advantage of artificial intelligence in conjunction with the transition to a more sustainable economy. As the world’s need to produce more electrical energy increases, it is necessary for this electricity to be emissions-free in order to meet the growing needs for artificial intelligence, and then to benefit from artificial intelligence to increase the production of electrical energy, improve its transmission systems, and expand access to and benefit from it for all societies around the world. “.
He added: “This is not a task that any one of us can undertake alone. Rather, it requires work and cooperation between the technology, energy, science and policy sectors to find solutions and accelerate common progress.”
The report provides a roadmap to meet the growing demand for electricity by AI data centers, whose electricity demand is expected to double by 2026.
The report indicated that although the consumption of electricity by artificial intelligence technologies at the global level is relatively small at the present time, the demand for electricity from data centers in some regions could represent a large percentage of the total electrical loads.
According to the International Energy Agency, the demand for electricity from data centers in regions such as the European Union, for example, is expected to rise by 9 percent annually, and for demand to exceed 5 percent of the total electrical load at the regional level by 2026… and based on the significant progress Currently underway to produce more emission-free energy, collaboration between the energy and technology sectors is crucial to ensuring we meet this growing demand by delivering sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions.
For its part, Masdar, the leading clean energy company in the UAE, highlights in the report the relationship between artificial intelligence and the global clean energy sector, as the data centers necessary for the growth of artificial intelligence will constitute an important driver of global demand for energy, especially clean energy, and indicates “Masdar” concluded that meeting this demand sustainably requires applying a multi-faceted approach to take advantage of the full potential of artificial intelligence.
