This week on Energy Pod the President of ABB Energy Industries unveils the first of ABB’s “Energy Transition Equation” reports to show how cities can tackle water stress by reducing carbon emissions and costs of wastewater treatment for reuse. 

Currently, only half of our wastewater is properly treated. Tune in to hear how, when treated effectively, wastewater can safely be returned to the water cycle and how technology can help utilities reduce carbon emissions by up to 2,000 tons per annum. This is the equivalent volume of CO2 responsible for 30,000 tons of glacier mass lost every year!

With the United Nations predicting a 40 percent water deficit by 2040, Brandon Spencer will discuss why we need to do more now to solve our global water crisis.

This week ABB Energy Pod focuses on the topic of smart energy management – addressing the world’s energy crisis while protecting the environment, by optimizing every unit of energy. 

We are facing an unprecedented energy crisis, both in terms of the cost and availability of energy but also with changing requirements putting pressure on operators as we strive to meet global climate goals. This episode addresses the issue of energy management and the difference that smart energy decisions can make in moving to a no carbon future.

This week kicks off our Energy Transition theme, which addresses how we balance the long-term but urgent need for decarbonization with the short-term need for short term security. How do we align our energy transition strategies with the realities of the world right now?

The first episode focuses on the role that hydrogen can play in decarbonizing the world’s energy mix, specifically hard-to-abate industries. However, it can only play a crucial role if we make it accessible as quickly and cost-effectively as possible to meet its growing demand. Today’s Energy Pod looks at how, as an industry, we can overcome the challenges to achieve this. Tune in to hear how we can make this possible.

Last week we introduced ABB’s game-changing new approach to software and how it creates value for customers on their industrial digitalization journey. This week we will tackle the realities of achieving this. How do you unlock the full potential of digitalization in your business? And if you’ve been holding back on taking your first step, how do you get started?

Today’s experts will discuss how Software as a Service – with collaboration at the core - can advance your digital progress and offer financial benefits as a result. They will offer advice on how to achieve this, for example, digitalization should be viewed as a continuous journey that is constantly evolving. Taking small, manageable steps and staying focused on clear, realistic goals allows you to gradually prove its success and scale from there. On the other hand, the new agile subscription service model affords operators the flexibility to “fail fast” – having the ability to test different solutions without risking or compromising operations – which can unlock tremendous value.

Today on ABB Energy Pod we are addressing the topic “Digitalization: is there a better way?” As we all know, digitalization is becoming increasingly important in our future success, especially as the energy industry focuses on asset performance management to improve productivity and competitiveness. But it is not always as simple as it seems and customers sometimes don’t know where to start on their journey.

Today we bring four experts together to discuss how we can adopt a simpler and smarter approach, offering advice on how to overcome the challenges that customers are facing when implementing digital solutions. We also introduce ABB’s Software as a Service (SaaS) offering – a game-changing new subscription service model that caters for the evolving needs and expectations of customers.
