When I think of sustainability I think of ways that we can tackle the climate problem in a way that is both environmentally friendly but also economically sustainable. Some things that I think of:

  • Off shore wind energy
  • Optimizing the energy grid using machine learning
  • Battery batteries
  • Electric vehicles
  • Also better buildings, ex using HVAC
  • Figuring out ways that we can better approach carbon capture and utilization, so that there is an incentive for companies to participate in it
  • 45Q, a government tax credit encouraging companies to partake in carbon capture.

Inspirational examples:

  • Tesla
  • Paris Climate Agreement
  • Form Energy (working on long term energy storage)
  • Cool paper that i read which indicates different ways to tackle climate change with AI: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05433
