Conversations on Climate

Season 1: Episode 2
Ramez Nasser

In this video, Chris Caldwell CEO of United Renewables Ltd talks to Ramez Nasser, lawyer and Board Member at Energisme.
 
They discuss topics including how the world will generate over 2500 zettabytes* of data by 2035, requiring new technologies to be able to make use of that data. Especially in the energy space, which is one of the areas that accumulates the largest amounts of data.

In this episode, Ramez Nasser explains how the vast amount of data we produce on energy usage can help us reshape our cities, habits, and policy. The volume of data available will be essential to track and optimise energy performance from buildings and businesses, manage power usage in cities (for example by turning off lights in unused streets), and guiding new technology development.
 
Throughout season 1 we talk about how the scope of the challenge before us is beyond that of any one individual or any one solution.

​

Just incase you were wondering:  1 zettabyte of digital storage is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 [1021] bytes, 1 sextillion bytes. One Zettabyte is approximately equal to a thousand Exabytes, a billion Terabytes, or a trillion Gigabytes.
