Technology & Sustainable Energy
Sustainable energy is the production of energy so that future demands are being met, and damage to the environment is reduced. It is important as non-renewable energy resources will eventually run out, and are harmful to the environment.
There are a lot of innovations that are shaping the renewable energy sector. New energy technologies are becoming increasingly popular, creating better awareness around shifting to cleaner solutions. Many industries are implementing changes and focusing on creating more sustainable environments, from solar power, energy storage, electric vehicles to innovative heat pumps, hydrogen technologies, smart electricity grids and more alternatives for coal, oil and gas.
We look at what is being done to help the world transition to a more sustainable way of using energy
Nick Giannakakis , Group Chief Information Officer at Motor Oil , on how technology can help the world transition to a more sustainable way of using energy.
Founded in 1970 – and marking the launch of its refinery in Corinth two years later – Motor Oil has built a Europe-leading role for itself in the sectors of crude oil refining and the marketing of petroleum products in Greece and the greater eastern Mediterranean region. The company’s workforce of more than 2,500 supplies customers with a wide range of high-quality products and exports to more than 70 countries.
“The question I ask myself when I wake up is: ‘What makes me feel like I want to jump out of bed and come to the office?’,”
says Nick Giannakakis , Group Chief Information Officer at Motor Oil .
“And the answer is that I am driven by the proposition. It’s the promise I give to all my colleagues that I will equip them and enable them to do their jobs with technology and accomplish mission-critical priorities. This commitment then cascades down to my direct reports and on to the entire technology community in this large-scale organisation.”
