Digital twins can boost mining output to drive the energy transition. Here's how
Mining capacity can't deliver the raw materials needed for the energy transition, but this innovative technology can make a key difference.
Co-Founder and CEO of physics-based digital twin pioneer, Akselos.
Akselos is a mission-driven company focused on accelerating the energy transition through a once-in-a-generation upgrade to mechanical computer aided engineering. We develop technology that performs mechanical simulations of large systems at the speed of thought, enabling unprecedented accuracy and real-time use.
Angel investor for over a decade, investing in early-stage deep tech companies that have become leaders in their fields. Led Akselos from inception to becoming a trusted digital transformation partner for some of the world’s largest energy companies, protecting their most complex and critical assets. Advocate for deep tech’s role in the energy transition in multiple stakeholder groups, including CEO network in the World Energy Council, GWEC Board, and the World Economic Forum as a 2020 Technology Pioneer. Former US Department of Energy scientist and investment banker. MIT and EPFL alumnus. Mechanical engineer and part-time mountaineer.
At Akselos, we have created the world’s fastest and most advanced engineering simulation tech. This is used to help design and protect the sustainable world we all want to live in. Our MIT-patented tech is overtaking the industry standard FEA that isn’t powerful enough for operations. The tech monitors structures of limitless scale across vast networks of assets. I’m also passionate about using tech to digitalize renewable energy, particularly offshore wind farms, and make offshore wind economically viable globally. We're committed to using tech and innovation to accelerate a transition to a more sustainable future for all aspects of the industry and in-line with the 2021 IEA report -- Net Zero by 2050.
Mining capacity can't deliver the raw materials needed for the energy transition, but this innovative technology can make a key difference.
Digital twins could help enable the production of more green hydrogen and they could also increase blue hydrogen production to meet the increasing demand.
The wind industry faces a perfect storm of vanishing subsidies, excessive development lead times, and soaring costs. But it can come out stronger from this
Offshore wind power can look to other industries, like electric vehicles and solar panels for innovative strategies to decarbonize the global energy mix.
The offshore wind industry's annual installation targets are set to increase steeply from 2030. Rising to the challenge will require innovation and investment.
Wind, hydropower and the other renewable sources must match solar power's innovation curve over the past decade if they are to scale up and help us beat climate change.
