The 'energy transition' refers to the global energy sector's shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal — to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as well as lithium-ion batteries.  It is one of, if not the most, significant issues of our time.  Tech can both help and hinder in this journey. This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Rob Easton, Senior Sales Manager, AWS Energy EMEA, AWS on how energy is made, how its moved and how its used, how Amazon are ready themselves as an organisation, but also how they are providing tools and services to allow other organisations to impact the carbon footprint of their tech and maybe more widely.
