Today we proudly present our latest sector-specific report into quantum's potential to transform specific industries. This time, we've gone deep on the energy sector.
In this report, we explore how the energy sector is embracing quantum technologies, and the drivers needed to push their adoption forward.
- We look at the opportunities, challenges, and key considerations around the energy sector’s adoption of quantum computing, quantum sensing, and other quantum technologies
- The report features input from companies in the energy sector, including bp and Alliander
- Input from the quantum tech sector includes Kvantify, Xanadu, TNO, and Deloitte, plus academics from Stanford and NTNU
Drawing on interviews with key figures from across the energy and quantum technologies landscape, the report’s key findings include:
- Quantum computing is the most active field of research among energy companies, but quantum sensing provides more near-term commercial use cases.
- Greater collaboration and a solution-focused approach to research will help quantum technology companies provide high-impact solutions to the energy sector sooner.
- Quantum technology startups require more support and investment to help achieve the technical and market breakthroughs that help push the field forward.
- Universities engaging directly with energy companies could help frontier research better align with commercial applications of quantum technologies.
- The quantum sector requires a significant boost in the number of skilled workers, both on the technical side and in terms of business, sales, and marketing.
- In an increasingly divided world, policymakers should ensure energy companies have relevant quantum technologies available to them so that they keep up with the global state of the art by being able to buy from the best and more relevant providers.
