For most of the twentieth century, it was not possible to think about a car without the fuel. Today, things are changing faster than anyone expected.
Energy Markets
For decades, business growth came from securing funding, attracting skilled workers, and finding customers. A new constraint is now quietly joining that list and, unlike the others, we cannot negotiate it, disrupt it, or hire our way around it.

Our electricity bills are not determined at the point of generation, but by the cost of moving, balancing, and stabilizing electricity across the grid. As the system becomes more complex, the cost of the grid itself is becoming one of the most important drivers of future electricity prices.

For more than a decade, natural gas has been promoted as a “bridge fuel” in the energy transition. But the choice comes with both an economic and environmental compromise.
Household bills are rising everywhere. While inflation and geopolitics often take the blame, extreme weather, supply disruptions, and energy market shifts are increasingly shaping the price of everyday essentials.
As we search for cleaner energy sources, natural gas has emerged as an alternative solution to fossil fuels. It is believed to produce about 50-60% less CO2 than coal.
Many sustainable businesses are now monitoring direct emissions from their facilities. Yet, this only captures a small portion of the overall emissions. The huge lump comes from the sources of power, which contain a substantial amount of fossil fuels.
Wind and solar farms are expected to play a crucial role in tripling renewable energy capacity on a global scale by 2030. However, many countries are facing difficulty transitioning to clean energy at present, let alone meeting the net zero target.
The UEFA Euro 2024 football tournament has been the talk of the town. A big tournament like this has an extra responsibility to showcase its commitment to green initiatives, but will the competition live up to its promise?
