The organising committee are delighted to call for submissions for papers or posters exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing net zero challenges. Topics which align with one or more of the following themes are encouraged:

Energy

  • grid operation or balancing
  • demand management
  • data analytics to understand customer energy usage
  • Predictive data for energy trading
  • Blockchain technology for power purchase agreements
  • create virtual power plants to understand future deliver options

Transport

  • demand management across modalities understand how they interlink on demand
  • AI-enabled transport logistics, maintenance and journey optimisation
  • tools for efficient route planning
  • AI systems to analyse travel planning and maintenance
  • harmonised digital reporting for ships
  • electronic freight transport information

The Environment

  • adaptation and resilience to natural hazards and extreme events, including impact mitigation
  • prediction and management of water scarcity, droughts and flooding
  • improved weather and climate prediction
  • carbon capture and storage and observations and modelling of greenhouse gas emissions to predict and understand the impact of mitigation efforts
  • use of nature-based solutions to deliver net zero
  • enhanced use of sensing systems, models, and data sets to gain understanding of mitigation and adaptation

Agriculture and food system

  • targeting direct emissions from farm to fork
  • improved traits to lower emissions in a range of climate scenarios
  • approaches such as precision farming that reduce or eliminate high-greenhouse gas inputs
  • net zero-related trade-offs in agri-food systems
