Laragon Consulting Manager.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many of the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/en\/environmental-management-and-sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technologies needed to reduce CO2<\/a>\n<\/span> that we need to reach have not yet been developed or are even in prototype mode. The costs are still high to implement them, so the time factor is key to ensure a <strong>sustainable and affordable energy<\/strong> supply, in order to reach the goals we have set ourselves.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to the latest<\/span><strong>\n  <span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <\/span>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/net-zero-by-2050\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IEA<\/a>\n<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(International Energy Agency<\/strong>), we need to drive breakthroughs in <strong>clean energy<\/strong> innovation. Most of the reductions in CO2 emissions up to 2030 come from technologies that are already on the market today. But in 2050,<strong> IEA<\/strong> warns that almost half of the CO2 reductions will come from technologies that are currently in the demonstration or prototype phase. We will have to make significant innovation efforts to bring these new technologies to market on time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To reach net zero emissions by 2050, we are told that annual investment in clean energy worldwide will need to triple by 2030 to around $4 trillion. This will create millions of new jobs, significantly boost global economic growth and achieve universal access to electricity and other clean energy worldwide by the end of this decade.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Throughout this transformation process, we will have to take into account the demands for information regarding the impact on the reduction of emissions in companies. Organizations should have reporting and accounting of <strong>GHG emissions<\/strong> that allows them to be consistent in their calculation methodologies so that the analysis of this information is meaningful in the long term. They shall ensure data accuracy by avoiding errors in deviations or calculations, and transparently document changes in methodologies, inventory limits or any other factor that may be relevant to the information they share with their stakeholders.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While <strong>digitization<\/strong>  is not the most important factor to decarbonize and reach absolute zero emissions, it is true that it can help a lot not only in implementing calculation models as is currently being done, but it also increases the ability to make simulations with different parameters or models that allow to perform a  <strong>benchmarking<\/strong>, which will, of course, facilitate decision making. The combination with <strong>artificial intelligence <\/strong>to have predictive models and study possible scenarios in 2030 and 2050 horizons will be key to evaluate the performance and contribution of companies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All of this is leading to the further development of <strong>technological innovation<\/strong> in the way companies communicate their strategies, plans and actions to reach <strong>net zero<\/strong> by 2050. Information and communication management technology will be key to be able to measure and generate confidence in the stakeholders involved in this<strong> energy transformation <\/strong>.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ca6429d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ca6429d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b51b86\" data-id=\"2b51b86\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5c5eaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f5c5eaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/#equipo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kevin5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19917\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kevin5.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kevin5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kevin5-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5e2fe8\" data-id=\"a5e2fe8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab93d8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab93d8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>\n  <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/#equipo\">Kevin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laragon.es\/#equipo\">Esposito,<\/a><\/span>\n<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">is <strong>Consulting Manager at Laragon.<\/strong> He is a Chemical Engineer with extensive experience in industrial maintenance processes and management systems administration.<\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Expert in Sustainability, Environment and Safety, Kevin designs QEHS solutions for global companies, and has led the implementation of more than 20 projects since he joined Laragon.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-09102da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"09102da\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd33d20\" data-id=\"fd33d20\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ede1024 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ede1024\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This article is part of the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/34KHbZy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dossier Corresponsables: World Environment Day<\/a>,  <span style=\"color: #000000;\">promoted by Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n within its #1Planet4All project, funded by the European Union.
