The risky business of climate risk: 'Stop predicting the future'. Elsa Wenzel. Mon, 03/08/2021 - 01:00. Blindsided by how COVID-19 quickly dominated the planet? You're not alone. Fourteen months ago, the World Economic Forum's 2020 Global Risks Report neglected to include a pandemic among its major warnings for the year ahead. The crisis has exposed not only the lack of foresight but the lack of effectiveness in mainstream business risk management policies.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

A more integrated approach to the deployment of offshore energy networks is needed as a key enabler for net zero or the sea ‘is at risk of being full’, a new report from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) claims. The offshore energy sector will be critical to the UK’s net-zero goals. Its increasing use across the oil and gas, wind, hydrogen and electricity sectors, coupled with the sea’s finite resource, means without clear coordination, the opportunity to maximise the benefits

Small modular reactors (SMRs) — nuclear reactors using novel technologies to fit into much smaller and mass-producible packages than the behemoth nuclear power plants of today — are presented as a way of rapidly decarbonizing the grid in the face of an ever more pressing need to meet climate targets. But some opponents claim new nuclear power could have the opposite effect, slowing the fight against human-caused climate change just when things should be speeding up.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
