Computing for net zero: how digital technology can create a ‘control loop for the protection of the planet’ CLIMATE CHANGE : SCIENCE AND SOLUTIONS | BRIEFING 2 Computing for net zero: how digital technology can create a ‘control loop for the protection of the planet’ In brief Digital technology could play an important role in the industry and the third sector to create a ‘planetary digital transit. [...] As to connect to the internet, demands on the Assessing of the world’s population now online and wider contribution to the international effort an example, the cryptocurrency Bitcoin is tech sector are set to grow. [...] Once the turbines are spinning, yield overall satellites, plus connectivity and interfaces on overall solutions that are better than the sensors inside each turbine monitor parameters from the yaw of the nacelle to the torque of the generator and the speed mobile phones provide tools for precision solutions that sum of its parts. [...] 6 CLIMATE CHANGE : SCIENCE AND SOLUTIONS DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CLIMATE CHANGE : SCIENCE AND SOLUTIONS DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY 7 FIGURE 2 A control loop for the protection of the planet Virtual representations of physical assets – digital twins – can be created to run simulations and improve the planning and operations of these assets.
