A strategic view of the energy transition
Geopolitical tensions and trade barriers conflict with low-carbon initiatives to create unprecedented uncertainty in the energy transition. Educated guesses and historical trends are now insufficient to drive effective scenario planning, capital allocation and risk-mitigation strategies.
Get the data and analysis to chart your strategic course through the transformation of the energy landscape with Lens Energy Transition Scenarios. Compare four proprietary scenarios, access integrated intelligence across 55 fuels and technologies, analyse investment requirements, and assess the development of over 260 emerging technologies.
