Can the technological and digital transformation of enterprises serve as both an opportunity and a new paradigm for promoting the industrial sector’s energy transition? The new monograph in the RSEview series available in digital version on the RSE website addresses this question.

The volume analyzes the industrial world’s opportunity to seize the demand for “transition”, brought about by decarbonization goals and Green New Deal programs and pointing at development models that decouple economic growth and environmental, resource-use and land impact.

This transition will entail deep structural changes in business models, required skills, and resource use; their repercussions on the productive world will vary based on the ability to know how to combine this transformation with appropriate industrial policies and support measures, such as the current Transition 4.0 Plan. According to RSE, this is an effective tool to support the industrial sector in the ambitious challenge of decarbonization.
