Conversations on Climate: Ramez Nasser - Big Data and energy use

Chris Caldwell in Conversation with RAMEZ NASSER, entrepreneur, lawyer and Board Member at Energisme.,

...by 2035, the world will generate over 2500 zettabytes of data, 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 most amount 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 on the Conversations on Climate podcast.

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.

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.

The scope of the challenge before us is beyond that of any one individual or any one solution. So, we talk to thinkers, researchers, makers and business leaders.They discuss a diversity of ideas and solutions to the global climate and environmental issues and why they matter.
