Innovation will play a major role in reaching the EU 2030 climate targets - it's our goal to help clients close their "climate innovation gap". By now, all our corporate clients are thinking beyond ESG reporting and strive to reduce their environmental footprint. Many currently put PV on their roofs to generate their own electricity, upgrade to e-fleets, or incentivize "green" behavior of employees. While these planned measures (in gray) are important steps, they won't be enough to reach ambitious reduction goals. By contrast, many companies (e.g. in the oil and gas, construction, or mobility industry), will need to rethink their complete business model - within the next few years! Sounds impossible? For sure it will require massive efforts from large parts of any company. We believe it will require among others three steps: 1) Foresight and strategic anchoring - Understanding macroeconomic developments (technology advancements, regulations, customer demands, etc.), setting a clear strategic direction, and communicating it to the whole organization 2) Innovation fields and focus definition - Clearly defining where large potentials for sustainable innovation lie and prioritize action (programs, projects, and ideas) 3) Innovation sprints - Taking identified opportunities one after another and developing them at full speed (in-house or with external partners). Fail or launch fast and work on the next one. It's a race and a marathon at the same time and it can only be done in collaboration. So what's your take on the topic? Where do immediate reduction potentials lie? Where do you see large potential in the next 6 years? Specify your industry, so it's easier to relate. Comment and let's discuss!

I often wonder if Net Zero is attainable! As we push towards a greener future, the journey to sustainable energy and achieving net zero emissions faces critical challenges and opportunities. Sustainable energy sources like solar and wind power are abundant and clean yet inconsistent, posing reliability issues. Effective energy storage remains a challenge due to current battery technology limitations. Upgrading grid infrastructure is costly and time-consuming, with high initial investments for large-scale projects posing financial constraints. Inconsistent policies and regulatory barriers further hinder progress. Sourcing materials for renewable technologies and land use conflicts present significant hurdles. Public perception and social acceptance are crucial, as educating and engaging communities can drive support. There is a growing need for skilled professionals in this field, highlighting technical and workforce challenges. Achieving net zero requires addressing economic disparities, technological gaps, and maintaining political will. Developing countries may face more significant challenges due to limited resources and technology, while some sectors lack viable low-carbon alternatives. While the limitations to sustainable energy are significant, they are not insurmountable. We can achieve a net zero future with innovation, policy support, and global cooperation. The journey is complex, but a sustainable and resilient future is possible with concerted effort and determination. #SustainableEnergy #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #GreenFuture #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateChange
