- Abstract: Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is a critical
global challenge; it demands advances at the levels of materials, devices, and
systems for the efficient harvesting, storage, conversion, and management of
renewable energy. Researchers globally have begun incorporating machine
learning (ML) techniques with the aim of accelerating these advances. ML
technologies leverage statistical trends in data to build models for prediction
of material properties, generation of candidate structures, optimization of
processes, among other uses; as a result, they can be incorporated into
discovery and development pipelines to accelerate progress. Here we review
recent advances in ML-driven energy research, outline current and future
challenges, and describe what is required moving forward to best lever ML
techniques. To start, we give an overview of key ML concepts. We then introduce
a set of key performance indicators to help compare the benefits of different
ML-accelerated workflows for energy research. We discuss and evaluate the
latest advances in applying ML to the development of energy harvesting
(photovoltaics), storage (batteries), conversion (electrocatalysis), and
management (smart grids). Finally, we offer an outlook of potential research
areas in the energy field that stand to further benefit from the application of
ML.

generative, multi-purpose AI systems promise a unified approach to building machine learning (ML) models into technology.
This ambition of generality'' comes at a steep cost to the environment, given the amount of energy these systems require and the amount of carbon that they emit.
We measure deployment cost as the amount of energy and carbon required to perform 1,000 inferences on representative benchmark dataset using these models.
We conclude with a discussion around the current trend of deploying multi-purpose generative ML systems, and caution that their utility should be more intentionally weighed against increased costs in terms of energy and emissions
