How AI and Machine Learning Are Transforming Energy Forecasting

The global energy landscape is evolving rapidly. Increasing renewable integration, rapidly growing data streams, and shifting market dynamics demand innovative approaches to managing energy systems. In this evolving ecosystem, traditional forecasting methods are no longer adequate. Accurate, scalable energy forecasting is now critical for ensuring reliability, reducing financial risks, and building a sustainable future.

Digital Twins: The Key to a Smarter, Greener Energy Future

The energy grid is the backbone of the modern economy, powering everything from homes and businesses to critical infrastructure. But with the global shift toward renewable energy, grid operators now navigate in uncertain territory. They must juggle the unpredictable nature of renewables, rising energy demands, and aging infrastructure — all while ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply.

The Role of Digital Innovation and AI in Achieving a Sustainable Energy Future

By 2050, the world’s energy demand is expected to grow by nearly 50 percent, making the transition to sustainable energy more critical than ever. What if AI is the key to unlocking a sustainable, net-zero future?

Taking on Generative AI’s Green Energy Dilemma

As companies seek to make their GenAI models larger, they will need to consume even more energy for both training and inference purpose. To meet that demand, the energy industry will need to find solutions that help them cope with these unprecedented challenges.

Leading the Charge: The Future of Electric Vehicle Transportation

As we advance toward a more sustainable and reliable energy landscape, the electrification of transportation stands as a pivotal solution. At Hitachi, we are committed to transforming the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem with innovative technologies and solutions that address the sector’s pressing challenges and opportunities.

Why a Circular Battery Ecosystem is Both Necessary – and Doable

As more than four million Electric Vehicles (EV) now travel across U.S. roads and highways, many of the batteries in those EVs are ending their useful life because of age or performance degradation. The question is, what do we do with all these EV batteries?

Hitachi’s Role in Shaping a Greener Future

As digital transformation continues to unfold, the demand for innovative digital solutions has never been more pressing. Hitachi has emerged as a frontrunner in digital innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionize various industries and create a more sustainable society.

What We Need to Build a Reliable and Sustainable Energy Future

Businesses once had a stark decision to make when it came to energy use: should they strive to be sustainable or focus on resilience, growth, and profitability? Thanks to technological advances and the emergence of new business models like “Energy as a Service,” we’re far removed from the era in which sustainability and reliability were viewed as being mutually exclusive.

Why Electrification Will Reshape the Future of Bus and Truck Fleets

Trucks and buses are the lifeblood of the transportation industry. But these same fleet vehicles that transport people and goods around the world are a significant source of carbon emissions as well as air pollution. For years, we’ve had to accept that unpalatable but necessary tradeoff. Not any longer. We are on the cusp of a historic shift toward the electrification of large fleet vehicles. And it’s a transition that can’t come soon enough.

Hitachi's Commitment to Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Solutions

Hitachi firmly believes that innovation will play a pivotal role in accelerating the race to achieve net-zero emissions. As a climate innovator we also believe that a green economy will need a digital economy.

Three Key Drivers That Build a Green Business

The journey to becoming a truly sustainable business include addressing questions such as considering the potential costs and complex operational challenges of implementing sustainability programs, compliance with a variety of regulations and developing workforce readiness as new technologies are implemented. All these and other questions can cause companies to hesitate in adopting a focus on sustainability.

How Hitachi’s innovative transmission solution addresses one of the biggest obstacles to clean energy

An ambitious project in New York is setting the bar for public-private partnership in the energy sector, using unique technology from Hitachi to solve the problem of bringing sustainable energy generated hundreds of miles away into a high-demand center.

Driving a More Sustainable Future: Transforming Transportation and Energy to put us on a Path to Carbon Neutrality

Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the release of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C in October 2018, a growing number of countries have committed to net zero greenhouse gas emissions targets over the coming decades.

Helping Utility Companies Leverage Digital and Green Technologies to Achieve a More Sustainable World

The utilities industry faces a gauntlet of challenges over the coming decades, but the good news is that many technological advancements are available to help them manage those challenges. And the better news is that new technology can help utilities not only survive but thrive in an increasingly unpredictable environment — all while becoming better stewards of the natural world that supports life upon our planet.

A data-driven sustainable society requires data center decarbonization

We’ve entered an era that recognizes the need for business and our global economy to operate within the confines of the ecology we all depend on. Sustainability has become a ubiquitous topic in board rooms, business schools, and even the hallways of regulatory agencies. A key aspect of sustainability is the reduction of physical waste — and through the magic of digitalization, information has become incredibly abundant and able to reach every corner of the globe in an instant – without shipping anything physical.
