The twin “green and digital” transition in e-Infrastructures
- Peter Wittenburg ()
Description
The Green Deal is one of key EU priorities in this decade aiming at reaching the climate goals by 2030. On the other hand, the digital transition is a key requirement for Europe’s competitiveness in the global race. Thus, the combination of the green and digital transition, the so-called “twin transition” is a key requirement for the EU. This session will deal with the corresponding urgency of twin transition for EU, national and institutional e-Infrastructures. It will raise awareness on key e-Infrastructures initiatives in the area along with thematic paradigms.
After a short introduction to EDF’s activities and the group's commitment to energy transition, an inventory of EDF's infrastructures and areas of use for HPC are presented. Then, the impacts of energy transition on the infrastructures, the home-made codes and the studies that are carried out are addressed. Finally, the options to make users aware of the energy sobriety of the simulations and...
The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) identified several cross-cutting activities that should be reinforced within the energy sector, being digitalisation a paramount one as it is changing the way in which research and innovation is being carried out. As a result, the transversal Joint Programme ‘Digitalisation for Energy’ was launched as a transversal activity pilot in Fall 2020 and...
How will the impact of severe weather and climate change affect your country or your region and how will you manage the risks of environmental extremes?
To address the need for enhanced prediction capabilities, the European Union has set in motion Destination Earth (DestinE), a visionary initiative to create Digital Twins of the Earth system supporting climate change adaptation policies...
