Navigating the energy transition from disruption to growth: Energy and industrial companies are positioned for a lower-carbon future
Stanley Porter, vice chairman, US Energy, Resources & Industrials leader, Deloitte LLP
Kate Hardin, executive director, Deloitte Research Center for Energy & Industrials, Deloitte Services LP
It’s great to buy an electric vehicle, but if you are charging that car on power that’s generated on coal, you’re not really making a big difference. If you’re charging that car on power that’s generated with renewables then you are making a much bigger difference in terms of carbon reduction.
Are we getting closer to a lower-carbon future? Deloitte’s energy transition survey reveals the drive to cleaner energy sources continues to sustain momentum, even amid economic headwinds. In this episode, Host Tanya Ott discusses the report findings with authors Stanley and Kate. They share how companies are engineering change across six key channels—and how the COVID-19 crisis could actually accelerate the clean energy transition.
