How private capital is creating sustainable industries
Private market investors are crucial in transitioning to a low carbon economy by combining longer-term patient capital with commercial and operational expertise. Removing funding constraints, optimizing and repositioning business models and rapid and efficient company scaling allow general partner portfolio companies to unlock growth for a faster energy transition.
Renewable energy that uses recycled energy storage solutions
Renewable energy initiatives have faced criticism, including un-environmental disposal methods. Recycling can provide a solution to this issue and solve the energy storage conundrum. Battery storage is key to energy transition and there are several examples around the world of storage systems using recycled materials. Critics of renewable energy like to point out its potential defects: how do you provide heating, lighting and other services when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow?
Energy prices, geopolitical crisis and net-zero goals: a brave new Europe towards energy independence
The major challenges for ‘post-pandemic’ Europe As the EU economy began to slowly recover from the pandemic, new and old crises are looming on the horizon. We are fully aware of the energy prices situation — that must be mainly traced to gas volatility and not to carbon price — and we are cooperating with governments and institutions to find common, swift solutions to give relief to families and companies affected by the price increases.

Decarbonizing cities will not just benefit the environment, but also the jobs market, public health and well-being of communities. by Francesco StaraceChief Executive Officer and General Manager, Enel, Jean-Pascal Tricoire Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Schneider Electric Why is it so important to decarbonize cities?
We must move beyond cost-based decisions to accelerate the energy transition
The energy transition represents the most effective response to the current environmental, economic and social crisis. In these uncertain times, accelerating the energy transition through sustainable investments is a 'no-regrets' course of action. Sustainable investments can create value not just for shareholders, but for all of us. This is the heart of the system value approach.
To achieve net-zero carbon cities and buildings we need systemic efficiency
Sustainability Jean-Pascal Tricoire & Francesco Starace | January 22, 2020 | 6,636 views Decarbonizing our cities and buildings is both necessary and very complex. Digitalization will be a key enabler of this transformation. It can be – and is being – achieved with existing technologies. We cannot solve climate change without transforming our cities and buildings. This requires massive efforts from the private and public sectors, but it is possible with today’s technologies.
I vantaggi della transizione verso le fonti rinnovabili
La storia dell’energia è sempre stata molto dinamica nella sua evoluzione. L’espressione “transizione energetica” non è nuova: partendo dal XVIII secolo, il passaggio dal legno al carbone, e più tardi al petrolio, al gas e al nucleare sono tutti esempi di transizioni energetiche. Queste transizioni sono state determinate dall’innovazione e dal progresso tecnologico.
These 3 Elements are Crucial to the Future of Electric Cars
The question is whether policymakers and business leaders can harness and combine them in ways that maximize their benefits for cost efficiency, economic growth and environment footprint. As urbanization increases – an additional 2.5 billion people will live in cities by 2050 – cities and suburbs will undergo significant transformations to create sustainable living conditions for their residents.
These 3 elements are crucial to the future of electric cars
As urbanization increases — an additional 2.5 billion people will live in cities by 2050 — cities and suburbs will undergo significant transformations to create sustainable living conditions for their residents. Energy and mobility are the twin pillars of these transformations, and both will require radical adaptation to meet the demographic and economic growth without increasing congestion and pollution.
Climate action: how can we revive the 'Spirit of Paris'?
Under this Italian Presidency, the G7 has a unique opportunity: to revive the ‘Spirit of Paris’ by taking decisive action to mitigate climate risk and the negative environmental impact of our actions. We are approaching two years since the signing of the Paris Agreement. The clock is ticking.
