Deep tech offers a variety of solutions for the different types of sustainable energy, increasing their efficiency, reducing their operating costs, improving their management and control systems.
To make the transition to a competitive energy system, we need to overcome a number of challenges, such as increasingly scarce resources, growing energy needs and climate change. But this goal comes with a big question mark: where exactly will we get our energy from?
Today there are eight types of sustainable energy: wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, tidal, wave, biomass and biofuels. Deep tech offers a variety of solutions for all of them, increasing their efficiency, reducing their operating costs, improving their management and control systems.
Projects that are a reality: see our success stories
Thanks to advances in deep tech, driving innovations and achieving scientific breakthroughs, renewable energy is set to become increasingly affordable and accessible for companies, governments and individuals around the world.
Large investments by countries like China, India, USA and Germany in renewable energy generation and distribution have dramatically lowered costs and hence barriers to enter the sector. As a result, we are seeing a boom of new technologies in the energy sector: developing new systems to produce renewable energy, optimizing current solutions, increasing the efficiency and resilience of energy storage systems and managing the distribution of energy to the consumer generated from increasingly distributed sources. The latest technology advances in the field are focused on hybrid energy systems and reinforce the extension of the electricity grid.
