Digital technologies have radically transformed society over the past decades. With a dramatic increase in the number of connected devices, data stemming from phones, computers and appliances, distributed renewable energy sources also grow exponentially. The way electricity is produced, distributed and consumed in emerging markets and rural areas is evolving.Digital technologies are now an integral part of sustainable distributed renewable energy (DRE) business models with applications ranging from demand mapping over the optimisation of the integration of renewables in electricity systems and improvements in the reliability of grids to consumer payment models. In emerging markets, new high-quality and modular technologies, remote monitoring, control software and systems, smart meters, AI, as well as platforms for real-time data collection, analysis and visualisation support sustainable energy stakeholders in providing affordable and clean energy access for all.As the demand for clean and renewable energy sources grows, the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) focuses on fostering and promoting innovation and efficiency of its members in the DRE sector. In this regard, ARE is organising the upcoming edition of Innovation for Electrification (I4E) showcase webinar series on the topic of 'Digitalisation & Optimisation'. ARE members will be showcasing their products and services covering the subject enabling audience to learn more and engage actively.

On 24 October, RGI will explore resource and supply chain challenges linked to power grids in our upcoming Webinar “Wired for Circularity: Securing the Power Grids of the Future”. During the event, invited experts from the French grid operator RTE and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) will offer insights into how the application of circularity principles can mitigate the impacts of resource scarcity and supply chain pressures.Electricity grids are at the core of the global energy transition, requiring ongoing modernisation and expansion to accommodate increasing renewable energy integration, electrification, and digitalisation. However, both the expansion and retrofitting of the grid face significant challenges, particularly in the context of material requirements, resource scarcity and constrains within grid infrastructure supply chains. As the world transitions to a renewables-based energy system, the electrification of industrial, transport, housing and other sectors intensifies. In turn, the demand for electricity grid infrastructure grows, creating further pressures on the production and delivery of critical grid technologies. In this context, the substantial amounts of resources and materials needed for the grid expansion, and their uneven distribution across the globe, create additional challenges related to ensuring a just and sustainable global energy transition.Why circularity?Against this background, the concept of circularity—focused on maximising resource efficiency, minimising waste, and extending the lifecycle of materials and components—offers a compelling framework for addressing these challenges. By integrating circularity principles, grid operators can not only enhance the sustainability of their infrastructure but also build greater resilience against supply chain disruptions.But, how can grid operators implement circular approaches in their operations to reduce these challenges? And what are the status of supply chain disruptions within the European context?On 24 October, RGI’s Webinar “Wired for Circularity: Securing the Power Grids of the Future” will explore the intersection of circularity and supply chain management within the electricity grid sector, drawing on insights from the following speakers:Nicola Magnani – Leader of the “Materials and supply chains for the energy transition” project at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).Marcela Mantilla – Sustainability & Industrial Affairs Advisor at RTE.

In this webinar, Yener Eksi will be sharing his experience teaching different aspects of nuclear energy to his honors chemistry students using the Six Thinking Hats strategy. The "Six Thinking Hats" is a method that can be used to enhance classroom discussions, foster critical thinking, and improve problem-solving skills among students. Yener will talk about how this approach helped his students explore different perspectives on a topic. Attend to find out what worked, what didn’t, and how he adjusted the lesson along the way!

As global efforts to decarbonize intensify, the aviation and maritime sectors are at the forefront of the transition to low-carbon fuels. By 2050, the aviation industry will need over 450 billion liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) to achieve Net Zero emissions, while methanol is emerging as a key alternative fuel for the maritime industry. To meet this rising demand, global renewable methanol production is expected to reach 400 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) by 2050, with 150 Mtpa from biomethanol. This webinar will explore how SFW’s Gasification technology is converting solid biogenic waste into liquid biofuels, offering a practical solution to these challenges. Hear from SFW experts and industry leaders about the technology's applications, cost-efficiency, and insights into two pioneering biofuel projects—one focused on renewable methanol in Portugal and another on carbon-negative SAF in the USA.Why Attend?Gain insights into the global demand for SAF and renewable methanol in aviation and maritime sectors.Learn how Gasification technology can enhance biofuel production by combining syngas and green hydrogen.Hear from experts about two innovative biofuel projects that are shaping the future of sustainable fuels.Featured Projects:Mangualde Project: Renewable Methanol from Biomass and Green Hydrogen (Portugal)Stonefish Project: Carbon-negative Sustainable Aviation Fuel (USA)Speakers: Frank Ligthart - VP, Circular Carbon, Sumitomo SHI FW; David Longden - SBD Manager, Gasification, Sumitomo SHI FW; Lari Temonen - Director, Strategy & Business Analysis, Sumitomo SHI FW; Joshua Pearson - Chief Technology Officer, PATHWAY Energy; Pedro Vieira - Project Engineering Renewable Methanol, Capwatt.
