The Fifth Industrial Revolution and its role in transformation Towards clean energy

Abstract

     The Fifth Industrial Revolution is still just a process of predicting the future, and it is only a post-artificial intelligence era. The world needs a Fifth Industrial Revolution after the negative effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the world to grow like the new Renaissance. And it must not be just a dry scientific revolution, but rather a revolution that balances the scientific and human sides. Therefore, the fifth industrial revolution (5IR) can be summarized as the combination of humans and machines in the workplace. 

    The goal of enhancing the contribution of clean energy to the energy balance is one of the important goals in all countries of the world, which is confirmed by the steady expansion of the renewable energy sector in many countries of the world, especially the developed ones. The clean energy industry generates hundreds of billions of dollars annually, and is expected to continue to grow rapidly in light of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, which will create great economic opportunities for countries that innovate, manufacture and export clean energy technologies.

The research started from the hypothesis that the Fifth Industrial Revolution will have a major role in enhancing the contribution of clean energy to the global economy.

The research was divided into three chapters as well as an introduction that dealt with the importance of the research and its methodology. The first chapter dealt with the conceptual framework of the Fifth Industrial Revolution and clean energy, while the second chapter highlighted clean energy in the global energy balance, while the last chapter was devoted to the future of clean energy in light of technological development. The study concluded with a number of results and recommendations related to the research topic.
