Today the world is in the midst of a paradigm shift towards a zero-carbon society. Energy transition is the key to this shift and it is gathering pace. In order for an organisation to best exploit the economic opportunities brought about by the energy transition, or to successfully adjust itself to identify opportunities in what was previously perceived as a challenge/crisis, it is essential to grasp the whole picture of how the world is trying to achieve the transition, in a timely manner. The crucial aspects to watch that drive the transition are innovations in technology, business models and systems.
