Abstract
Nowhere in the world is the impact of global warming more visible than in the polar regions. It is well known that the ice in these regions is melting at an accelerated pace each year. As a result, some animals are unable to survive. There are many indicators showing that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the use of fossil fuels is the main culprit contributing to this global warming. With recent advances in technology and renewable sources, it has been demonstrated that power electronics can play an important role in efficiently substituting fossil-fuel-based electrical power production and electrification of transport, thereby substantially cutting CO2 emissions. Consequently, to fully grasp the meaning of climate change, the 10th IEEE Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion (FEPPCON X) workshop was held in Tromso, Norway, close to the polar region. Here, at the Scandic Ishavshotel in Tromso, a group of international experts, led by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) Technical Committee (TC) chairs gathered to discuss future directions in power electronics and energy transition for reducing CO2 emissions, thus forecasting the advances needed across different areas of electronic power processing and conversion technologies to achieve this goal.
