Digital tools are being used now to optimize the performance of renewable energy and integration into the power system. Data analytics, machine learning, and advanced sensors optimize agriculture, the routing, and scheduling of vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and emissions and monitor and reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
Investment in climate tech innovations increased to $70 billion in 2021, an 89% increase. However, most funding goes to physical solutions.
