The energy transition is on a growing number of board agendas. The why is no longer in doubt, the questions are rather how and how fast.
We are not only building the world of tomorrow but working on the here and now. Nor can these be isolated efforts, but rather require collaboration between stakeholders.
The scale of the energy transition is unparalleled and will affect all sectors, some dramatically. Ever more companies are seeing the opportunities: innovation and efficiency have helped put the green energy business case on the map – and by association, whole countries. In order to accomplish the climate goals, set in Paris, the energy transition will need to accelerate. The need for guaranteed access to affordable, safe, reliable and sustainable energy remains. But to combat the deterioration of the climate, fossil fuels will have to be substituted by sustainable, renewable sources. This requires a radical change in the way energy is generated, transported, stored, consumed and saved. The energy transition is probably the greatest challenge of our time; the entire ecosystem of energy supply and demand needs to be revised.
The global economy is under relentless competitive pressure, with sustainable innovations often requiring significant investments, or being difficult to scale up. As the energy transition gains momentum, it’s becoming clear that whilst the challenges are many, so too are the opportunities. Companies can and must look forward to jointly growing new markets, backing their pioneering role with solid investments. And as the Paris goals already risk missing the mark, urgency is concentrating minds and money as never before.
