Politicians and business leaders around the world are scrambling to lay the foundation for a climate-neutral global energy infrastructure. A prerequisite for this successful energy transition is to develop international standards, definitions, safety rules and regulations and, of course, the terminology to describe all aspects of these systems.
Aiming for a circular and energy-efficient energy infrastructure entails a deep electrification of all consumption based on renewable electricity. This means more use of renewable and low carbon fuels, including hydrogen, especially in heavy industry sectors such as cement, steel and chemicals, and also in heavy-duty transportation such as trucking, container shipping and aviation. Small cars, car fleets and trains make up a smaller percentage of the total but still add up to massive amounts of energy consumption globally.
The use of hydrogen is likely to increase mightily considering its superior climate neutrality, flexible power generation and storage properties. The EU alone will invest up to 440 billion Euros on implementing a hydrogen strategy for 2050.
Summing up, we all have challenging times ahead. From a terminology development perspective, the transition of the existing energy infrastructure into climate-neutrality will add a whole lot of new terms and definitions for our customers’ businesses, and will continue to do so with technical innovation. Being the folks behind TermWeb, we are fully aware of the situation and committed to support existing and new clients throughout, managing the development and integration of new concepts and terms to ensure staying abreast.
Give us a call or send us an email so we may demonstrate how we can help – TermWeb is still the most flexible and advanced terminology management system available anywhere!
