The Premise of Transformative Energy

Energy is pervasive, intertwined with almost every facet of our lives.

When we speak about energy transition the assumption is that Society can adjust to a new future incrementally, in a step-wise fashion. Believing it is possible to tweak how energy is generated and consumed, making investments in new infrastructure that will “fix” the problem. The perspective here is that the possibility of Energy Transition as currently being envisioned is fatally flawed, irrationally exuberant and insufficiently ambitious.

Achieving climate neutrality and New Zero economies needs a fundamental rethink. Transformative Energy is based on the premise that countries, communities, and companies, as well as broader civil society, need to embrace three vectors of change.

Transformative Energy is intersectional, socially-inclusive,
and economically value-additive.

Mindfullness

Mindfulness about the breadth of positive social and ecological outcomes that can be achieved through clean energy.

Mindset

A Mindset that alters the systemic policy, regulatory, economic, financial, strategic and know-how foundation pillars for a prosperous energy future.

Mindshift

Promoting a Mind Shift that places a premium on dramatically reduced energy demand, generating power from unconventional sources, and converting energy now wasted into valuable resources.
