We aim to see how the huge AI wave can be harnessed to contain the climate crisis and help us move towards green energy and recycling.

In India, we have a target of having 100% green energy by 2070. However, renewable energy like solar and wind energy is erratic and needs storage on the one hand and grid stabilization on the other. AI can significantly help manage the grid imbalance caused by renewable energy. AI algorithms can predict energy demand and renewable generation more accurately using data from weather forecasts, energy usage patterns, and historical trends. AI can also optimize energy storage systems, like batteries, by deciding when to store excess energy and release it. Additionally, AI can facilitate real-time grid management and adjust supply and demand dynamically.

While the trend towards electric vehicles in transportation is increasing, battery-related issues, the availability of lithium, the impact of lithium mining, and recycling possibilities need attention. Popularising the use of electric vehicles through policy interventions and technological advancement is also essential. At the same time, a strategy needs to be formulated for the optimal use of battery-powered two-wheelers and three-wheelers, buses, and public transport modes using electricity or green hydrogen and last-mile connectivity through bicycles. AI can help optimize routes, hub-and-spoke routes, and city design.

AI itself is very energy-hungry. Microsoft is exploring nuclear options for its AI labs. Small Modular Reactors (SMR) and nuclear fusion are also being developed using AI.

To create synergy among all research and studies in AI, Green Energy, Recycling, and Sustainable Development, we plan a seminar with eminent professors, researchers, corporates, environmentalists, and others who will share their thoughts.

Our goal is to foster a global community that will collaborate and work together for the betterment of humankind, particularly in the context of the pressing climate crisis.
