Stronger Together: Optimizing Renewable Energy
This blog explores how efficiency and demand management can smooth over some of the challenges of the renewable energy transition.
Electrification
Electrification refers to switching from fossil fuel powered technologies (coal, oil, natural gas) to electricity-powered technologies. The resources used as the source of electric energy can be renewable and, therefore, reduce climate emissions. Learn how IMT’s work supports electrification.
