Energy Internet—Decentralized systems contributing to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Abstract
As the world’s industrialisation and population increase, the amount of fossil fuels consumed also increases. This brings with it environmental pollution, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the depletion of these non-renewable resources. With the significant industrialisation and increasing consumerism of societies, an important issue is the growing demand for energy. Energy production using fossil fuels contributes to climate change and environmental pollution. To meet these changes, the energy industry is undergoing a transformation towards green energy. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources and substituting fossil fuels to reduce CO2 emissions and slow the greenhouse effect is a key objective for countries around the world. To achieve these ambitious goals, new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) are coming to the rescue. Ubiquitous digitisation is supporting the transformation of the energy sector and the emergence of the Internet of Energy. The use of new technologies, smart sensors, photovoltaic panels, IoT-based wind turbines, smart grids supports the rapid development of Energy Internet (EI) and the decentralization of energy systems. This paper provides some insight into the issues surrounding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the increased use of renewable energy sources in energy production systems.
