Introducing the latest insight from our thought leaders, the book Connected: Bringing predictability to the increasingly uncertain world of energy.


As climate change accelerates and geopolitical tensions reshape global markets, the energy landscape has become increasingly interconnected. Connected explores why those interconnections have developed, and how they bring clarity to the most important decisions we make about the future of energy.

Traditional strategic planning is failing. Siloed planning processes and disconnected data can lead to the misallocation of capital resources, which in turn lead to slower progress towards tackling climate change, supporting energy security and providing fair access to energy.

The energy transition investment opportunity is huge. And so are the differences in where that money will be invested in different scenarios varying from $72 trillion to $117 trillion.

To infinite complexity and beyond. The evolution of energy markets means leaders need to embrace complexity to succeed. The spectacular growth of LNG importers and the 5x export opportunity between 2000 and 2030 is a case in point.

More complex, more interconnected and more volatile - a changing energy system will be more challenging to navigate which is why we track 260 transition technologies.

“”

This is the biggest challenge of our lifetimes: solving the trifecta of energy demand, climate concerns and security needs. Energy is evolving and leaders need intelligence that evolves with it to keep pace and seize the significant commercial opportunities ahead.

“”

Energy is fundamental to every aspect of human life, from the food we eat and how we heat and cool our homes, to how we travel, share information and secure our livelihoods. We must understand how each part of the energy and natural resources ecosystem interconnects if we are to create an energy future that will support, sustain and improve human life.
