Роль цифрових технологій у процесах декарбонізації

Abstract

The paper analyzes the role of modern digital technologies in the processes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate neutrality. The synergistic effect of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) into the environmental management of enterprises in the industrial and energy sectors is studied. Based on the analysis of the activities of EU and Ukrainian companies for 2019–2023, a statistically significant negative relationship between the level of digitalization and CO2 emissions was established. It was found that the implementation of IoT solutions provides a reduction in emissions by 12–18%, optimization through Big Data reduces energy costs by 15%, and AI algorithms add another 8–12% of efficiency. The concept of “data-driven decarbonization” is substantiated as the basis for the post-war green recovery of Ukraine. Key barriers to implementation are identified: cybersecurity risks and the shortage of qualified personnel.
