🌍 The Future of Energy is Renewable: Are You Ready to Lead the Change? In boardrooms across the globe, a transformation is taking place. Decision-makers—CEOs, Managing Directors, and Business Development Directors—are shifting their focus toward renewable energy as a cornerstone of sustainable growth. The race toward decarbonization and energy independence is not just a necessity; it’s an opportunity to lead in a fast-evolving market. From hydrogen and clean fuels to solar, wind, and geothermal power, the renewable energy landscape is vast and ripe for innovation. These industries are unlocking new efficiencies, reducing costs, and creating resilient energy systems that power sustainable development. But here’s the key: staying ahead demands more than adopting green technologies—it requires strategic vision. Leaders who align their organizations with the energy transition are better positioned to: ✅ Capture emerging market opportunities ✅ Enhance brand reputation through sustainability leadership ✅ Attract investment in clean energy solutions ✅ Build long-term resilience in the face of climate challenges 🔑 The question is: How will you integrate renewables into your strategy to drive growth and meet ESG goals? The time to act is now. Whether you’re exploring hydrogen-powered supply chains, scaling solar projects, or innovating in clean fuel technologies, the future is in renewable energy. Let’s connect and exchange ideas on how leaders like you can navigate this transformation, leverage opportunities, and create lasting impact. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #CleanFuels #EnergyTransition #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #ESG

Low Carbon’s Neil Brown was invited to take part in the main stage discussion “Achieving a just and effective global energy transition” at the Infrastructure Investor's Global Summit in Berlin. Low Carbon has two bold goals for 2030: to create 20GW of new renewable power and to be net zero across all three scopes. “We are in first leg of the energy transition, focussed on building cheap power at scale. Renewables deliver the lowest cost of energy and Low Carbon is playing its part in maximising the creation of new renewable infrastructure. It will take more capital to continue at the pace the planet and people need,” said Neil Brown. Wonderful to bring together such an inspiring discussion that included Patricia Rodrigues Jenner, Marco van Daele, Shami Nissan, Dr. Mathias Bimberg, Jan Vesely.   Connect with the Low Carbon team onsite in Berlin: Neil Brown Margot Dowson, Martin Langham FIET, Samantha Ryder, John Isherwood and John J. Graves, CFA.   Low Carbon is on a mission. Together, we will power tomorrow. #IIGSummit #poweringtomorrow #renewableenergy #investors

⚡ NEW REPORT:  We’re thrilled to share that the Carbon Business Development Council and the Carbon Business Council published a new report titled “Utilities and Carbon Removal: A Gigaton Scale Opportunity,” supported by Breakthrough Energy 💡 Utilities and the CDR industry are on the starting line of a decades-long collaboration. The report highlights how utilities can not only provide essential support for the carbon removal industry to grow, but also how removals offer substantial benefits to utilities, making them a smart investment. Beyond direct energy intersections, opportunities abound for utilities to integrate CDR into their assets and operations, which include extensive land management operations, construction projects with carbon storage in long-lived products, and operational budgets. ⚖️ The utility regulatory ecosystem may also hold several different benefits for early investments in CDR, recognizing the success and similarities with early utility investments in renewables and storage, utility project management and financing expertise, and the stakeholder-forward process. 💸 As utilities deepen engagement in carbon removal, the report shows how these economic and environmental benefits can translate to cost savings for ratepayers. The report dives into four key threads where utilities and CDR can synergize to accelerate the path to #NetZero, exploring: 1️⃣ The role CDR could play on energy utilities’ path to net zero 2️⃣ How energy-intensive CDR can access low-cost, low-carbon energy 3️⃣ How and where CDR pathways can be integrated into utility assets and operations 4️⃣ How regulators might assess and weigh utility CDR investments 🤝 Partnerships between utilities and CDR developers are essential for success, requiring deeper engagement, expanded technical expertise, and collaborative policy development. Whether you’re a utility, CDR developer, or policymaker, this report offers insights and recommendations tailored to your role in the journey to net zero. Nick Pappas and Jon Martindill of NP ENERGY and @Ben Rubin and Isabella Corpora served as the lead authors for this report.
