Deloitte collaborates with Duke's EDGE Center
Exploring new clean energy pathways
A strategic collaboration to bring insight and thought leadership about the energy transition: The Deloitte Research Center for Energy & Industrials is pleased to collaborate with the Center for Energy, Development and the Global Environment (EDGE) at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business on a series of co-authored publications focused on clean energy pathways in the energy transition.
A collaboration created to explore new clean energy pathways
Clean energy technologies are increasingly helping society and organizations across sectors tackle the climate crisis and meet global emissions targets. From the promise of hydrogen to the development of a carbon management ecosystem, innovative solutions are opening new avenues for business growth. So how can companies learn more about these game-changing technologies and better identify opportunities to enter the low-carbon economy?
Our co-authored series of publications can help leaders immerse themselves in this evolving space. Select a topic below to gain insights that can help your organization thrive in the cleaner, brighter, and more sustainable future of energy.
Carbon management
Building industries that mitigate climate change
We’ve explored the various industries within the carbon management ecosystem, including demand drivers, challenges, emerging business models, and their respective role in climate change mitigation, to clarify key factors for successfully scaling carbon management strategies and systems. Once scaled, the ecosystem will touch all parts of the economy. And as more players enter the space, those companies that are able to develop successful business models could lead the market.
Accelerating climate change awareness helps drive advances in carbon management
New climate change policies and increased public awareness encourage growing investment in carbon management solutions. To better understand the implications for the future of clean energy, we asked key stakeholders in the carbon management ecosystem to share their insights and challenges. They identified six factors as critical to continuing to make progress in carbon management investment, including the need for consistent, supportive policy, more sophisticated carbon markets, and stronger public education and support.
The future of hydrogen
Podcast: Exploring the demand for green hydrogen
In this episode of the Fueling the Future series, we explore the demand for green hydrogen with guest speaker Janice Lin. Janice is the founder and president of the Green Hydrogen Coalition, as well as founder and CEO of Strategen. She’s also a key architect of HyDeal Los Angeles, a vision to make Los Angeles North America’s first green hydrogen industrial hub at scale.
We discuss what industries hydrogen is most suited for, where to anticipate growth, and who the various stakeholders are. What are the most important next steps for green hydrogen to mature into a thriving industry?
Exploring the demand for green hydrogen
Article: Transmission of hydrogen for commercial consumption in the United States
Hydrogen has the potential to play a much larger role in the US energy mix as we move toward a lower-carbon future, and promising areas for increased use of hydrogen are in industrial applications and heavy transportation. A key requirement for the growth of hydrogen is efficient, safe, and cost-effective transport from producer to end user. This article explores the current extent of US hydrogen and natural gas pipeline infrastructure and provides a perspective on the technical, regulatory, safety, and economic factors that are likely to influence the pace and approach to expanding US hydrogen transmission capacity. It also considers the role that midstream companies may play in expanding hydrogen pipeline capacity and looks at key factors they may consider as they weigh investments in hydrogen.
Podcast: Hydrogen and the decarbonization puzzle
In this episode of the Fueling the Future series, we explore the role of hydrogen as part of the energy transition. Since there’s recent interest and enthusiasm about hydrogen, especially for its use to reduce emissions, we discuss the value proposition of green hydrogen. What energy challenges can green hydrogen solve? What hurdles must be overcome to capture this opportunity? What are the most exciting current global examples?
