S02E06 Accenture | Transition Talk - Energy Transition Trends

In previous episodes we dove into some specific topics contributing to the Energy Transition. For this season's finale, we decided to zoom out and take a closer look at some more global trends affecting the energy industry and we'll look at how the Netherlands is performing within this space. For this episode, Lonneke Tabak (Energy Transition Services Lead, Accenture) invited one of our own Accenture colleagues, Pim Spierenburg to dive into the topic. Pim has been named Global Head of Net Zero Transitions as of September 2023 and can therefor provide us with some unique global insights. Do you want to know more about the mentioned reports, click the links below to find the complete reports: Destination net zero focuses on the progress that the world’s largest 2,000 companies (G2000) by revenue are making toward their net-zero targets. It shows that just over one-third of these companies have full net-zero targets, and only 18% of those are on track to reach their targets. It also lays out the steps that individual businesses can take to accelerate their progress through combining up to 20 different actions. Powered for change is focused on the decarbonization of industries and the opportunity for oil, gas, power, and other industries to work with heavy industry (chemicals, natural resources, freight/logistics)–the world’s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases–to decarbonize. The key will be developing smart pricing strategies for green products and services; scaling low carbon power and hydrogen to lower production costs; optimizing costs and productivity of capital projects and operations.
