How can Europe accelerate the green transition by leveraging digital transformation as an asset in various key production sectors? Here are the answers that the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT), together with the European Commission's DG CONNECT, has condensed into a detailed report that analyzes the benefits of the close link between the two twin transitions.
The value of the digital and green duo
First, the report curated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) highlights the need for "cross-sectoral integration." As already mentioned in the introduction, significant investments are needed to connect the energy sector with other sectors such as mobility, industry, construction, and agriculture to achieve the European "Net Zero by 2050" goal. In this context, electrification plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions in these production chains.
