For professional clients and qualified Investors only. Did you know that over 80% of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels? The transition to a more sustainable energy mix is happening, but let's face it: we have a long road ahead before renewables can fully replace traditional sources. For policymakers, the immediate focus is on ensuring energy security—finding reliable, safe, and local sources of energy. 🌐 Conflicts continue in Europe and the Middle East, while the pandemic's impact still lingers. Relying on global energy networks has become increasingly risky. This has raised crucial questions about energy security and its effect on the broader energy transition movement. But the energy transition isn't just about going green; it's about building resilient, reliable energy systems. Yes, renewable energy like wind and solar is gaining traction, but conventional energy isn't going away just yet. ❓So what’s the solution? Well, it’s not about choosing between conventional and renewable energy. Instead, the way forward involves a balanced approach that incorporates both, with traditional energy companies adapting to new sustainability trends. 💬 Your Thoughts?: How do you think energy security will shape the future of energy?

Just returned from the All Energy Australia Conference, and a few key takeaways really stood out: 🔋 Renewables remain at the forefront of the energy transition, and it's clear that we need to leverage the low cost of renewable electricity to build new, high-energy industries for export. 🏭 A place-based transition approach is crucial—by coordinating efforts across our region we can maximize resources and meet shared decarbonisation goals more effectively. 🌍 A key theme emerged across top-emitting companies: they're focused on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with Scope 3 barely on the radar. This presents a huge opportunity to develop solutions that help SMEs track and reduce their Scope 3 emissions, driving deeper progress across supply chains. 💡 The breadth of conversations around all things energy—from renewables and storage to emerging technologies—has expanded my understanding of this dynamic sector and reinforced how interconnected our energy future is. Exciting times ahead as we explore how to turn these opportunities into action! #DecarbonisationAccelerated #METSDiversification #GreaterPossibilities

Clean Energy: A Vision for the Future The global energy landscape is at a pivotal turning point. As the realities of climate change become increasingly evident, the need for a sustainable, scalable, and efficient energy solution has never been more urgent. The future of energy is clean, and the transition is already underway—but are we moving fast enough? Hydrogen, solar, wind, and other renewable technologies have the potential to reshape industries, economies, and the way we live. Yet, the journey to a truly sustainable energy ecosystem is not without its challenges. From infrastructure gaps to cost efficiency and regulatory hurdles, the road ahead requires innovation, collaboration, and determination. At the core of this transformation lies a fundamental question: How do we accelerate the adoption of clean energy while ensuring it’s accessible and reliable for all? For me, clean energy isn’t just a professional ambition—it’s a personal mission. Every innovation, pilot project, and strategic partnership brings us closer to a future where energy is not only sustainable but also empowers communities and drives economic growth. I’m curious to hear from others: What do you see as the biggest opportunity for clean energy in the next decade? What role should private-sector innovation play in shaping global energy systems? Let’s foster meaningful dialogue and challenge each other to think bigger, act faster, and innovate smarter. The clean energy revolution isn’t just about technology—it’s about people, ideas, and the power to shape a better world. #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #Leadership

“The world now invests almost twice as much in clean energy as it does in fossil fuels…” A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals that investments in clean energy have been steadily rising since 2020 and that Global energy investment is projected to exceed USD 3 trillion in 2024, with USD 2 trillion allocated to clean energy and infrastructure. The graph below illustrates the global investment trends in clean energy and fossil fuels from 2015 to 2024, showing a significant increase in spending on clean energy such as renewable power, grids, storage, energy efficiency, and more. This growth contrasts with the declining investment in fossil fuels over the same period. The report attributes this shift to policies that incentivize investments in clean energy... ⚡AtZ Investment Partners is a M&A and debt advisory boutique focus in #energy and #infrastructure.

It's time to rethink energy! 🌱⚡ As we dive deeper into the 21st century, the quest for renewable energy has transitioned from an environmental cause to an economic and strategic imperative. The efficiency of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro, has skyrocketed, shaping a sustainable and resilient energy landscape. Solar panels, once constrained by high costs and low outputs, now boast efficiencies that challenge traditional fossil fuels. Wind turbines, dotting horizons from the UK's blustery shores to the vast plains abroad, continuously enhance their capacity to convert gusts into electricity. Hydropower, the stalwart of renewables, benefits from decades of innovation, reliably powering millions of homes and businesses. But it's not just about the energy harnessed; it's the energy saved. Technological advancements have slashed energy waste, marrying efficiency with sustainability. From smart grids to energy storage solutions, these systems ensure that every watt is used at its utmost potential, reducing our carbon footprint and empowering a green revolution. As an advocate for cleaner energy, I've witnessed remarkable strides in efficiency. It's clear that investing in renewables isn't merely "good for the planet;" it's now a cornerstone of forward-thinking economies. Countries embracing this shift are not just securing their ecological futures; they're fuelling economic growth and innovation. In the UK, we're poised to lead this charge. With pledges to cut carbon emissions and green energy investments on the rise, our path to a net-zero future is not just a dream, but an unfolding reality. Embracing renewables is no longer a choice; it's an evolution. So, what's your stance on renewable efficiency? Have you experienced its benefits first-hand? Let's drive the conversation forward—like, comment, and share your thoughts! 💭🌍💨 #RenewableEnergy #GreenEconomy #SustainableFuture

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report on World Energy Investment (2024) published today, global investment in clean energy is set to reach almost double the amount going to fossil fuels in 2024, showcasing the significant investment flows towards clean energy solutions. However, the transition to clean energy and away from fossil fuels requires an ongoing significant change in investment spending in the upcoming years. While there is still largely invested in fuels such as oil or natural gas, additional investment into end-use and energy efficiency (transport, buildings and industry) as well as power (e.g. clean power, grids and battery storage) is necessary under the Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050 Scenario. This reports highlights that the world moves further into the right direction, however, additional steps and investments need to be undertaken to achieve net zero in the future. #energytransition #netzero #investmentspending #cleanenergy Source: https://lnkd.in/e_DDtDzM
