With our ever-increasing reliance on data storage and access to keep businesses running, particularly in critical times, the energy demands on data centers are predicted to grow exponentially in the years ahead. Currently, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are three million data centers in the U.S. using, collectively, 73 billion kWh in
The recent report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has increased the urgency on decarbonization. With many state and local governments setting limits on fossil fuels and carbon emissions for commercial buildings, the adoption of cleaner energy sources in the coming years will be necessary. Heat pumps, which provide an electric source of
With the world’s population urbanizing at a rapid rate, cities now account for between 60 and 80% of global energy consumption and 75% of total CO2 emissions. If the world was moving toward a more digitalized and decarbonized future, the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated those trends. Workforces are become more decentralized as more businesses

Host John Sheff is joined by Markus Lempp, Danfoss Director of Public and Industry Affairs of Central Europe, for a conversation on hydrogen power. Since hydrogen is much more established in Europe than it is in the US, Lempp is able to provide real-world examples of how hydrogen is already being used. Lempp also describes hydrogen fuel cells and what some of the different hydrogen colors mean.
Jake Elder and John Sheff discuss sustainability, the kinds of goals cities should make, the challenges in implementing those changes, and provides real-world examples of cities that have had success. Jake also makes suggestions on easy and cost-effective ways cities can improve sustainability. The COVID-19 pandemic has added the motivation to make changes to improve health safety, many of which will also improve sustainability.
Electrification is a trend transforming every significant corner of the industrial economy in the U.S. From power generation and transport to infrastructure and buildings, industry and businesses are seeking to become more efficient and resilient while producing fewer emissions. Policies and regulations driving this transformation are emerging at the state, local, and utility levels as
