Next Challenge: Calling all US solvers ages 18-30, how do you shop for auto insurance online? |
The world's electricity consumption was 24,739 terawatt hours in 2018; a 127% increase from 1990 (https://www.iea.org/world). The pressure to responsibly produce the energy the world requires in an environmentally conscious way is greater than ever. Considering the amount of the world’s energy supply that is still derived by environmentally harmful methods, change cannot come soon enough. Ultimately, innovative, and unique concepts related to clean, sustainable, and accessible energy are the solution. STEAM at Siemens Energy invites you to participate in this competition to make a change.
