How AI accelerates decarbonisation in energy and heavy industry
More detailed information
AI doesn’t just improve margins. It can accelerate the energy transition.
Renout van Hove speaks from the intersection of AI and sustainability — not as a theorist, but as someone who operates a renewable energy company (PerPetum Energy, 600MW+ capacity) and builds AI tools for energy flexibility and grid optimisation.
In this keynote, he shows how AI is being deployed in the real world to optimise renewable asset portfolios, predict energy flexibility, automate compliance reporting, and make decarbonisation economically attractive — not just morally necessary.
What the audience takes away:
How AI is transforming renewable energy operations: from forecasting to trading to grid balancing
The business case for sustainable AI: why the greenest option is increasingly the most profitable one
Real examples from PerPetum Energy and the Belgian energy market
How AI-powered flexibility platforms create new revenue streams from existing assets
The role of data ecosystems in accelerating decarbonisation across value chains

Renout van Hove doesn’t just advise on AI — he builds with it, every day.
As AI Accelerator at PerPetum Energy, one of Belgium’s leading renewable energy companies (600MW+ capacity), he built over 20 internal applications using AI in the past year alone. Not prototypes. Production tools that changed how a 50-person organisation operates.
That hands-on experience is what separates his keynotes from the typical consultant talk. When Renout speaks about AI transformation, he’s sharing what he’s learned from actually doing it — at scale, in a regulated industry, with real employees and real resistance.
Before his current ventures, Renout held senior positions at Dell, Salesforce, and Showpad. He authored “Obsessed” (2019), a book on customer data strategy that was already warning businesses to prepare for the AI era before ChatGPT existed.
Today he operates across multiple ventures: Quest2S (his management consultancy), GrowthAgent (AI-powered customer growth), and SiNergy (a joint venture with Delaware targeting €10M ARR in financial orchestration for renewable energy). He also co-founded Spectra Lash, bringing AI-assisted R&D to the beauty industry.
His keynotes aren’t motivational speeches with robot stock photos. They’re structured, honest, sometimes uncomfortable sessions that show leadership teams what AI really means for their organisation — the opportunity, the risk, and the math.
Renout speaks in English, Dutch, and French. He delivers keynotes, half-day workshops, and full AI enablement programmes including train-the-trainer formats for organisations of 50 to 5,000 employees.
