Nearly a billion new energy consumers join the society in 13–15 years; and the growing demand for higher standards of living makes the worldwide energy consumption continuously growing. Strategic solutions are therefore required not only for addressing energy gaps but also for eliminating the undesirable environmental effects of energy supply chain to ensure quality and sustainable living. This article advocates leveraging artificial intelligence associated digital technologies to increase energy efficiency, to facilitate carbon trading, and to realize the circular economy vision of countries to mitigate extreme weather conditions and climate change.
