Original Abstract

This perspective paper has been suggesting and discussing some of the energy transition opportunities facilitated by COVID‐19 pandemics. A strong base in a cluster of innovative technologies is expected. They have been spread out of distance meeting and learning, massive home office use, the growing popularity of e‐shopping, raise in e‐socialising, related to this intensifying the data transmissions as 5G and considering 6G, urban and sanitary reforms, remote and robotic health monitoring and even treatment, related preference to shortening the commuting, intelligent traffic control, strengthening to favour self‐driving autonomous vehicles, advanced digital manufacturing challenging remote and distance production operating, remote construction and building as remote drilling, automated waste management collection and treatment, and also applications of novel ways for deliveries as, for example, drone. Each of them is having some pros and cons related to energy consumptions. Are the beneficial features able to offset its own energy consumption and the rebound effects of increasing demand?
