AB  - The ubiquitous nature of energy autonomous microsystems, which are easy to install and simple toconnect to a network, make them attractive in the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.The growing energy consumption of the IoT infrastructure is becoming more and more visible. Energyharvesting describes the conversion of ambient into electrical energy, enabling green power suppliesof IoT key components, such as autonomous sensor nodes.Energy harvesting methods and devices have reached a credible state-of-art, but only a few devices arecommercially available and off-the-shelf harvester solutions often require extensive adaption to theenvisaged application. A synopsis of typical energy sources, state-of-the-art materials, and transducertechnologies for efficient energy conversion, as well as energy storage devices and power managementsolutions, depicts a wide range of successful research results. Developing power supplies for actualusage reveals their strong dependence on application-specific installation requirements, powerdemands, and environmental conditions.The industrial challenges for a massive spread of autonomous sensor systems are manifold anddiverse. Reliability issues, obsolescence management, and supply chains need to be analyzed forcommercial use in critical applications. The current gap between use-case scenarios and innovativeproduct development is analyzed from the perspective of the user. The white paper then identifies thekey advantages of energy autonomy in environmental, reliability, sustainability, and financial terms.Energy harvesting could lead to a lower CO2 footprint of future IoT devices by adoptingenvironmentally friendly materials and reducing cabling and battery usage. Further research anddevelopment are needed to achieve technology readiness levels acceptable for the industry. This whitepaper derives a future research and innovation strategy for industry-ready green microscale IoTdevices, providing useful information to the sta
