A number of startups and solutions have launched in the energy storage space.  Efficient energy storage is one of the most pivotal components of the adoption of clean energy. For example, Qnetic is creating a powerful energy storage solution that can hold and distribute energy at scale. It uses a flywheel system to produce unparalleled energy capacity, which promotes faster adoption of renewable energy and diminished reliance on fossil fuels. With storage costs lower than for lithium-ion batteries, the Qnetic 2-megawatt-hour capacity solution promises to provide customers with long energy discharges without fire hazard risks. The startup recently launched on Wefunder, which means anyone can invest for a limited time.

The organization provides policymakers with improved emissions data instead of relying on information from countries that's often underreported or missing. It relies on machine learning and AI to correlate activities, such as a power plant working at full capacity with the related emissions. Improvements in both technologies will further refine the accuracy and timeliness of emissions-tracking data, which can then improve efforts to make changes or to hold polluters accountable. 

With the capabilities OpenAI's ChatGPT tool making waves, many in the climate field see it transforming how society understands climate change. Artificial intelligence (AI) can better predict climate change's global, regional and local impacts and suggest the optimal mitigation strategies. It can improve weather forecasting so communities can prepare in advance and save lives. The potential is limitless, and AI solutions are becoming an integral part of every business. 

But because of the massive computing requirements and the amount of electricity needed to run AI, it also has an impact on the climate. AI can counteract this usage by pushing the economy and energy sector further toward renewables because it’s ideal for managing the complex energy grid. It can predict demand in real-time and manage a grid that's pulling less power from traditional sources like coal and instead use more wind and solar energy that comes with mounds of real-time data. AI tools can also improve the efficiency of electric vehicles, ships and other vessels that use either traditional fossil fuels or electric power.

Other applications include robotics-assisted cranes that can stay stable during windy conditions. These technologies could install offshore wind turbine blades during windy seasons, expanding the industry's growth and protecting human workers from harm. Drones and robots are also ideal tools for maintenance inspections, especially for checking wind turbines that are hundreds of feet above the ground. Faced with a shortage of maintenance and inspection workers, renewable energy firms can use drones and robots to perform checks, relay instant data and keep operations running smoothly and at optimal cost efficiencies.
