Low-carbon solutions

Tailored strategies designed to help hard-to-abate sectors achieve net-zero goals

Decarbonisation continues to be an important priority for businesses, investors, governments and society at large. Increasingly, institutions are acknowledging that pathways to decarbonisation—especially in hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, aviation, delivery, heavy duty road freight—require “clean molecules” as well as “clean electrons” to help reach their net-zero goals. While decarbonising these sectors will be pivotal to reaching Paris Agreement targets, implementation is likely complex.

To decarbonise, a multitude of solutions is required, which often involves adoptions of new business models, technology advancements, new policies and incentives, ecosystem collaboration and creation of new value chains. Consequently, no single solution fits all and success largely depends on specificity—devising bespoke solutions down to the individual asset level while taking location, policy and market conditions into account. Success also depends on bankability—creating mutually beneficial, economic solutions that are good for the planet and good for the bottom line.

Deloitte is on a mission to help companies meet their net-zero goals and has low-carbon solutions that provide the end-to-end capabilities across the “clean molecules” space to help make change happen on the ground.

At Deloitte, we understand that accelerating the path to net-zero requires a multitude of low-carbon solutions and a wide range of multi-disciplinary capabilities to help create and implement them. With our global reach and local and regional insights, we are adept at helping organisations assess what solutions they need, by when and for what specific assets—all while assisting them in building new ecosystems and aligning incentives to make those solutions economic. Together we combine strategy, technology, innovation and collaboration into a new way of working that expedites the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

Practitioners at Deloitte firms work with institutions and companies across value chains, providing “advise, implement, innovate and connect” capabilities across “clean molecules” and related vectors including hydrogen, biofuels and carbon capture utilisation and storage.


 

We provide advice on strategies, feasibility studies, policy design, access to incentives, funding and investments, merger and acquisitions, talent development, country strategies, technology and artificial intelligence and insights-as-a-service, with a focus on implement-ability and making things happen.


We draw upon our multi-disciplinary capabilities to help drive implementation. We support our clients around capital project support, ecosystem design, supply chain support, stakeholder management, tax planning, Reporting and disclosures, certification and technology deployment.


We design and help launch new business models necessary to break barriers and strive for exponential impact.


We make an impact that matters by connecting people, companies and sectors to create ecosystems and value chains, helping multiple parties work well together to help achieve their business goals and environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.
