This article will take a closer look at Kooter Energy Transition and how it is driving transformation in the global energy sector, helping companies on the road to net zero.
As part of goals delineated in the Paris Agreement, the majority of the international community has agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 as a bare minimum. Achieving this objective hinges on several factors, chief amongst them the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – particularly carbon dioxide and methane, which are predominantly produced by burning fossil fuels.
Renewable energy, i.e. the electrification of operations, is critical to decarbonization. In addition, innovation and technological advancements have an important role to play in improving energy efficiency, and policy frameworks and market instruments will also be key to achieving objectives set out in the Paris Agreement.
With governments around the world committed to achieving net zero by the middle of the 21st century, companies operating in nations that signed up to the pact need to develop and implement their own energy transition planning. The ambitious goal of achieving net zero will impact every company – particularly those in the traditional energy industry such as oil, gas and service-related companies.
Kooter Energy Transition provides companies with practical advice and support, helping them to develop their own action plan to address the energy transition. Kooter Energy Transition helps the businesses it serves to manage their own carbon footprint, as well as encouraging them to seek out opportunities to leverage existing and new capabilities to become part of the solution. At the same time, with oil and gas still in demand in many industries and operations for the foreseeable future at least, Kooter Energy Transition helps client companies to manage ongoing activities.
Kooter Energy Transition helps its clients to create a clear and credible sustainability plan to reduce environment-related risks while simultaneously driving down costs. In addition, taking measurable action towards sustainability increases a company’s value, enhancing its access to investment by linking it to a wider ESG program.
Leveraging a wealth of industry experience, Kooter Energy Transition assesses each client’s unique situation, recommending solutions that deliver environmental and financial benefits, including a full program to create a sustainability framework, develop an energy transition strategy, or implement a net zero roadmap in a fit-for-purpose way.
