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.
Red countries are where LRI has conducted a number of research projects, and pink countries are where LRI has some experience in research projects.
Building on our strong expertise of energy and the environment, we launched a publication series, ‘Energy and Carbon: Innovative Technology, Business Models and Systems’ (Japanese only). Our Energy & Carbon Newsletter also provides news and intelligence for decarbonisation and energy transition efforts in the world.
Do you seek to understand business opportunities presented by the energy transition? Do you need to know the latest trends in decarbonisation policies/regulations, and zero/low carbon technologies and their markets in the leading countries of the energy transition? Are you keen to learn innovative business models and policy measures for the energy transition in the world? LRI can provide you with valuable insights tailored to your needs.
