Why we started this. The global energy sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation, led by trends in digitalisation and centralisation. The way the world generates, distributes and consumes power is being reshaped by rapid growth in distributed renewable energy; decentralised gas and oil production; innovation in efficiency; and progress in software and analytics.THE FUTURE OF COAL
There were two reports published last month which made me think about coal, one was from Credit Suisse and the other BNEF.. The report from Credit Suisse, using IEA data, sees coal remaining the prime energy source of energy for power generation across the globe in the coming decades. BNEF, in stark contrast, see coal usage almost halving overthe next 20 years.

For those who embrace these forces, as opportunities rather than threats, the possibilities are endless. What we are seeing is a once in a century seismic shift inour energy
LITHIUM ION BATTERIES VERSUS SUPERCAPACITOR The price of lithium has climbed by 130% in recent weeks. Citibank believes demand will be 64% higher in the coming 5 years. Lithium is the ubiquitous energy storage element consumed in ever greater quantities with each new generation of mobile phones and the arrival of electric cars by many manufacturers but led by Tesla. REAL-WORLD IMPACTS OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT The Paris Agreement sets a path towards eliminating net greenhouse gas emissions this century, both by defining this overall long-term goal, and a series of five-year targets towards achieving it.. The real-world economic impact will therefore fall on those sectors with the greatest emissions. The energy sector is the biggest single polluting sector, responsible for 36% of greenhouse gas WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG FOR FRENCH NUCLEAR GIANT AREVA Under the normal scheme of things the French company nuclear giant AREVA should be bankrupt.

Why we started this. The global energy sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation, led by trends in digitalisation and centralisation. The way the world generates, distributes and consumes power is being reshaped by rapid growth in distributed renewable energy; decentralised gas and oil production; innovation in efficiency; and progress in software and analytics.THE FUTURE OF COAL
There were two reports published last month which made me think about coal, one was from Credit Suisse and the other BNEF.. The report from Credit Suisse, using IEA data, sees coal remaining the prime energy source of energy for power generation across the globe in the coming decades. BNEF, in stark contrast, see coal usage almost halving overthe next 20 years.

It was with great excitement and a huge PR campaign that senior management from E.ON, one of the world’s biggest utilities, announced last December their new strategy.

WHY WE STARTED THIS
The global energy sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation, led by trends in digitalisation and centralisation. The way the world generates, distributes and consumes power is being reshaped by rapid growth in distributed renewable energy; decentralised gas and oil production; innovation in efficiency; and progress in software and analytics. Coupled with the rapid evolution of electric car and battery storage technologies, the scene is set for a digital energy revolution. This revolution has already wiped tens of billions of dollars off the value of old-world electric utility companies that have been slow to embrace change. That trend is now extending to the oil and gas and mobility sectors. At the same time, billions of dollars of value will be created for companies that embrace change. energyandcarbon.com is an informal forum for providing strategic, timely insight on the technologies and business models shaping the future of the energy and mobility sector, with the goal of aiding business and political leaders navigate the choppy transition ahead.Logo
