Solar manufacturing giga-factories can meet demand, alleviate the pressure on energy systems around the world and speed the energy transition.
Recycling can counter the hazardous impacts of renewable energy projects while solving the energy storage conundrum; battery storage is key to the energy transition.
With climate change accelerating, a more comprehensive, integrated approach is needed to decarbonize and harmonize urban energy systems
With a system value approach, accelerating the energy transition through sustainable investments is an obvious choice - especially in these uncertain times
