Questioning the need to change how we approach the Energy transition.

I always determine the end of a year to be a highly reflective one to build out the future rationale, passion, and beliefs in what I do within the Energy transition. You evaluate what you have achieved, missed out on, and built upon all the new understandings and knowledge that constantly “flow” your way.

What really triggered me to go even deeper this year was the outcomes of the CoP28. I wrote a piece “dealing with the raw emotions of the CoP28 event“- it really did “push my buttons”. So much advice and pursuit of making the Energy transition changes seem to be tackled from narrow perspectives, and for me, this needs a very radical rethink and designed approach.

We do seem to be missing out on broader community engagement for this energy transition– I want to change that.

I don’t think we are making it the collaborative endeavour it needs to be. I wrote my final energy post for 2023 asking, “Can we change accepted practices in any energy transition?“

I opened that post by posing a question and pointing towards this answer.

“During this year, I felt we were in a growing need to significantly alter the accepted practices of managing the Energy Transition in a new, more innovative, ecosystem-thinking way. Why? We need to engage more broadly in community approaches related to energy. We need a broader energy transition movement.”

“The goal is to create a more dynamic, interconnected, and adaptable strategy that builds on having a more collaborative mindset on how we approach the transition to shifting energy sources and finding more creative solutions. We must infuse and interact with the community’s thinking to accelerate the energy transition to gain identification, adoption, and change.”

I have been focusing innovating4energy.com on being more at the front end of the Energy Transition we are all undergoing. I combine my thoughts with my business offerings, shown in separate tags at the top of this page.

I went through a revamp in the past weeks to anchor my approaches a little more. This post outlines this and equally encourages you to view each tab explaining this to see if I can help YOU.

Approaching the energy transition in a different, more holistic way

As a knowledge provider at the forefront of energy, Innovating4Energy’s approach to the transition of changing to renewable energy is by firstly recognising it needs a really holistic approach in rationale and belief :

Recognizing the urgency of the challenge: The need to transition to renewable energy is more pressing than ever, given the accelerating pace of climate change, the growing environmental and social costs of fossil fuels, and many projects that do not offer a clear pathway to scale.

Harnessing the power of innovation ecosystems: Innovating4Energy should play a pivotal role in fostering collaboration among startups, research institutions, and industry partners to accelerate the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies in structuring ecosystem thinking and orchestrating the designs.

This offering can be achieved by:

• Fostering open innovation: Promoting the free flow of ideas, knowledge, and resources across the innovation ecosystem to ensure that the best ideas are shared and adopted.

• Encourage the Investing in early-stage technologies: Recognizing that early-stage technologies often hold the key to transformative solutions, Innovating4Energy should assist in identifying and building out business cases for clients to invest in supporting and nurturing these innovations.

• Providing credible and actionable insights: Innovating4Energy should leverage its expertise and insights to inform market participants about the latest renewable energy technologies, market trends, and regulatory developments. This can be done through:

• Publishing research reports and whitepapers: Sharing in-depth analysis of key issues and challenges the renewable energy sector faces to trigger new thinking and opportunity approaches by all engaged in the energy transition.

• Hosting or supporting webinars and events: Providing different options and insights into the platforms for industry experts to share their knowledge and discuss emerging trends.

• Developing data-driven tools and resources: Creating tools and resources that help market participants assess renewable energy projects’ feasibility and potential impact.

• Promoting responsible innovation: Innovating4Energy should emphasize the importance of responsible innovation practices to ensure that renewable energy technologies are developed and deployed to minimise their social and environmental impacts.

This can be achieved by enhancing work:

• Integrating social impact assessment into project evaluation: Assessing the potential social and environmental impacts of renewable energy projects early in development.

• Engaging with communities: Working collaboratively with affected communities to ensure that their concerns and interests are considered and integrated into any solutions in the future.

• Promoting transparency and accountability: Providing clear and transparent information about developing and deploying renewable energy technologies.

Our rationale is moving towards being a catalyst for Energy Transitions.

By taking these steps and revamping this Innovating4Energy website, I am hopeful we can be recognized and valued as contributors to playing a growing and valuable role in accelerating the transition to moving at an enhanced speed towards providing a future based more on renewable energy and shaping a more sustainable future for the energy sector, in broader engagements and the recognition that the front end of any conversations or work needs a more innovative holistic and integrated approach that ecosystem thinking and designs can provide.

We aim to offer a customised, highly collaborative and sustainability that sets us apart for compelling business propositions for organizations and their teams to lead from the front in the dynamically changing energy landscape.
