Global Differentiation of Climate-digital Projects in Terms of Low-carbon Economy

Abstract

The research results in the systematic model of digital solutions for the low-carbon economy. The applied context lies in fostering the driving force for the global transition to climate neutrality through the digitalization. To achieve this objective, extensive international experience has been leveraged within implementing IT for industrial decarbonization. The analytical database encompasses over 200 climate-digital projects across various typological domains. This enables outlining the international structure of climate-digital projects based on geolocation, IT solutions, technological support level, and climate management objectives. International differentiation of climate-digital projects has been established according to world regions. A comprehensive analysis of these data is provided to identify the preconditions for the formation of the climate-digital sector in the economy. A rating of IT decisions used in climate-digital projects has been developed. As a result of the study, key project areas for the twin green and digital transition are proposed, which are highly pivotal for achieving climate neutrality on a global scale.
