Digitalization: A blessing for the energy transformation

TechXplore

Many people now work partly or permanently from home. This saves petrol because they no longer have to drive to the office—which is good for the energy transition. Or not. Because at home, they consume even more energy for heating and cooking, and video calls also consume extra energy in the data centers of Microsoft, Zoom and the like. Does digitalization now save energy or are we just blowing more CO2 into the atmosphere?
