This article describes the fundamental incentives to create a sustainable world by self-organizing behavior. In my humble opinion that is. A few weeks ago, I had an epiphany. It was during a “CO2 Conference” in Rotterdam and I was listening to a presentation about “the Energy Transition”. The persons who were presenting and debating were pretty important: all board level company managers and CEOs (including oil and gas majors).

Frederik Van Deurs, Co-Founder of Green Innovation Group A/S Diary from the future 17/04/2050 I woke up this morning and had my coffee with the sound of lapping waves like music in my ears. As I opened my diary, I realized that it’s been a long time since I have written here. Today I felt special as I had a dream, a flashback actually, of when the world was predicted to end.

The Customer Experience (CX) landscape is constantly evolving. A few years ago, businesses based their competitiveness on branding and pricing. CX conversations were primarily confined to the hospitality industry, where elevated service levels enabled companies to acquire and retain customers. But as Forbes points out, “customer experience is the new brand” With the explosion of the Internet, social media and mobile technology, customers have come to expect the best CX in every brand

SCE launches Enervee Checkout and Rebate Fast Track It’s no secret that traditional utility rebate programs haven’t offered a great user experience. Customers had to manually match their preferred products by model number against qualified product lists, leading to many ineligible claims. Rebate claim forms and proof of purchase had to be submitted in paper form, and rebate checks were sent by the postal service, often arriving as much as 8 weeks after application.

“Whoops, sorry, didn’t see you!”, I said in all earnest. It was a phrase uttered way too often as I navigated the tango dance floor in the huge dance hall of La Viruta. Most often the phrase escaped my lips just as I was wrapping up a complex series of steps. More precisely the moment coincided with me looking at me and my partner’s feet as I tried to make sure that my yet crude attempts at elegant and flawless dancing didn’t involve crushing toes and ripping out nails from toes and floor-boards
Spiking prices at the gas pump this month have pointed up the weak link in oil’s chain from well to pump – aging refineries. America’s refineries have been operating at capacity for decades with almost no new ones being built in decades. But our oil consumption keeps growing.

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.
[I've been watching, with some joy, the rise of the youth climate movement. A month ago, a couple million kids took to the streets to protest inaction on climate change which, as they see it, threatens their entire future. Unfortunately, they're right. They're also serious.and business should listen. Here's what I wrote about it for my HBR column.].

Three trends, with two seemingly contradictory, seem to be converging when it comes to people and cities: More people moving to cities : e.g. empty nester boomers downsizing. With the majority of stats suggesting the trend is in favor of more people moving (back) into cities , there is a lot to do to make cities livable for those moving back in.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.
“The cleanest kWh is a kWh not used” has been the energy efficiency (EE) battle cry for decades. And utilities are delivering on that in myriad ways: innovating new program designs while continuing to improve EE savings nationwide. But we see a big opportunity to deepen energy savings nationwide still untapped: improved EE program targeting based on individual home savings potential.

As we’ve seen through demonstrations like the Youth Climate Strike , the next generation is intent on taking action to fight climate change. Young people are bringing attention to potential solutions, urging government officials to do more, and illuminating what previous generations have neglected: that this effort is massively important. While this is undoubtedly a good thing for the planet at large, it’s especially good news for clean energy entrepreneurs.

The Climate 4.0 Economy. Climate change is here. We see it in many ways already. Weather catastrophes: Texas freezing over, the wildfires of California, the increasingly unpredictable violence and frequency of hurricanes, the rapid melting and disappearance of polar ice caps. Much more evidence all around us. What can we do in our corporate organizations, in our homes and communities, to change the current course?
Recognition of Enervee utility choice engine deployments on the rise Congratulations to Efficiency Vermont! For the fourth consecutive year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Vermont’s statewide energy efficiency utility with a well-earned Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence award. EPA specifically cited the Efficiency Vermont Marketplace as one of the several 2018 initiatives that helped garner the distinction.
78% of the total U.S. population says that increased awareness of climate change is causing them undue stress. More so with Millennials than with Baby Boomers. But instead of stressing out, just get involved.

The use of Mineral Wool in Green Roof applications is an increasing trend in North America and in countries where such industry is still young or focused on fast profits rather than on longevity. One selling benefit of Green Roofs is the extended lifetime of the underlying water proofing because the Green Roof protects the roofing against the elements.

A few years after I finished building what I thought was my dream house in France, I discovered the Passive House International (PHI) standard and became very frustrated that I hadn’t known about it earlier.
Over the past few years, aggressive competition has led to unprecedented customer churn. Some utilities are reporting as high as 20-25% churn YoY in markets like the UK or Australia. At the same time, customer expectations of the energy retailer industry has risen, particularly with respect to more transparency and better service. That’s meant the cost to attract and retain customers has remained very high.

Its various aspects are, depending on situational context, given different emphasis. Its meaning may shift entirely depending on whether we are discussing inflation or homeostasis, construction or minimalism, reproduction or consolidation.
