Energy companies have no shortage of strategic alternatives to consider in the transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. Investments can be made in solar, natural gas, carbon capture, methane reduction, or biofuels to name a few. In this changing energy landscape, new value measures have also emerged.
Should companies focus on carbon intensity (gCO2e/MJ) or their absolute emissions (CO2e)? How should NPV and other economic value measures be weighted relative to environmental value measures?
Alternatives and values are intricately linked and critically important for quality energy transition decision making. Clear value measures can help in identifying which alternatives to consider—and the one to select.
Watch this informative webinar to learn how companies are thinking about their energy transition strategy, value measures, and alternatives.
