Network protocols for distributed energy resources - OpenADR, Matter, Energy Protocol, EEBus etc - want to send prices to devices. That’s not good enough.

The corner stone for reaching climate targets is building a clean grid.

What is the path to that grid?

The tech space brims with people keen to act on global warming. However, some efforts seem misaligned with where people in the energy transition space say to focus.

Our timeline is short. We need to target, as much as we can, where software will have the most impact on CO2 emission reduction.

This post gives a forest-for-the-trees view of the energy transition in 2020. It is serves as a starting point for understanding where software can help move the needle. It will cover three topics:

• What are the elephant-in-the-room emissions sources?
• What is the broad plan for transition?
• What is the timeline?
