  Adoption of renewable energy and digitization are some trends impacting the global energy sector. There is limited available information in the public domain regarding how key players are facing these challenges, although some insights can be extracted from their marketing efforts and investor relations. Details about the current state of the global energy industry can be found in the attached slide presentation . Trends and Challenges The global energy industry is moving towards renewable sources of energy, particularly wind and solar. Over 75% of all new investments in new capacity were devoted to renewable energies in 2019, with China and the United States leading the pack. Digitization is another trend. Despite being commonplace in other industries, the energy sector tends to be a slower adopter of new technologies. Cloud computing, robotics, IoT, and big data are emerging trends that are likely to change in the next few years.   COVID-19 is one of the challenges the ...

Hydrogen Technology: Regulations and Incentives Both Europe and Japan have developed ambitious plans in reaching a clean energy solution with hydrogen. While Europe has numerous legislative acts in place that directly or indirectly affect the handling, production, transportation, supply, and storage of hydrogen along with the deployment of hydrogen-based technologies, the EU has not drawn out any incentives to support the same. Japan has formulated a new Strategic Roadmap for hydrogen-based technologies such as fuel cells consisting of three phases. The country is currently working on the first phase that focuses primarily on

The technology industry is advancing at a rapid pace with constantly evolving digital technologies at every turn. With high-speed advancement comes various emerging risks to numerous connected industries such as finance, e-commerce, and retail. The top five technology risks to various industries are e-commerce online security risk, product warehousing and logistics risk , data breach, cybersecurity risk, and technology vendor and third-party risk. DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY RISKS #1: E-COMMERCE ONLINE SECURITY: RISK TO E-COMMERCE INDUSTRY   E-commerce Online security is a unit of protocols that ensure e-commerce transactions are secure. Thus, strict security requirements must be kept in place to safeguard e-companies from all kinds of cyber threats . There are instances when fraudulent e-commerce transactions take place. Web-based retailers do not have the means to physically verify the validity of the customer's card or verify if the customer is an authorized individual by req...

INSIGHTS The ways global warming can be combated include promoting terrestrial carbon dioxide removal, photocatalysis of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, using renewable energy sources, adopting cleaner composting practices, and stopping NOx elimination. The burning of fossil fuel is one of the biggest causes of global warming, and it can be combated by the use of renewable energy sources that don't release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Extensive terrestrial carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere through managed biomass growth and subsequent carbon sequestration and storage is another way of combating global warming. The five ways of combating global warming include using renewable energy sources, adopting cleaner composting methods, extensive terrestrial carbon dioxide removal, stopping NOx elimination, and photocatalysis of non-CO2 greenhouse gases. Below, you will find more details. 1) USING RENEWABLE ENERGY 2) CLEANER COMPOSTING One of the biggest contributors to...

INSIGHTS Current best practices for large banks attempting to protect their data against breaches begin with establishing a formal security framework and culture for the institution, from which the institution can establish policies, procedures, and systems to identify and measure risks, mitigate those risks, and monitor and report events and breaches. Encryption technology is virtually impregnable at this point, with data breaches instead coming from online social engineering schemes designed to exploit people and attacking weak network points. A September 2016 white paper by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) entitled the "FFIEC Information Technology Examination Handbook" is widely considered to be the authoritative guide for financial institutions wishing to secure their data by present-day sources. The realm of data security in general, and for financial institutions such as large banks in particular, is a constantly-evolving arena. Howev...

INSIGHTS The annual amount of data used globally will be an average of 175 Zettabytes by the year 2025, which is an increase from 33 Zettabytes in 2018. The edge computing market is estimated to reach USD $9,200 million by 2023.    An in-depth search on the future of edge computing, we established that edge computing is a technology that places computing resources close to the end users with the purpose of reducing the cost of data transport, boosting locality, and reducing latency . Edge computing provides a better infrastructure to the modern SaaS technologies and other cloud-based services. EDGE COMPUTING Edge computing is the delivery of computing power to the logical extremes of networks for the purposes of improving performance, reducing operation costs, and bettering services and applications . This is according to the open glossary of Linux Foundation . The shift from traditional data centers to cloud-based data storage services is also a factor that h...
