Despite the urgent need for action, the current U.S. federal administration is committed to pulling us in the wrong direction. How can we remake the energy landscape in the United States to embrace a robust clean energy and decarbonization trajectory within a decade, and do so in the face of significant political headwinds at the federal level?

Energy Is No Longer A Cost Center: How Executives Can Use Efficiency to Future-Proof Business

Already, 93 percent of global commercial and industrial companies have energy efficiency technologies in place. Meanwhile, adoption of combined heat and power (CHP) systems and battery storage increased at a similar rate to renewables: up 11 percent in 2019 from the previous year. These companies realize emissions are inextricably linked to energy consumption, which can be a major contributor to net corporate expenditure and a hurdle for low-carbon growth. In fact, a recent International Energy Agency study shows that efficiency improvements can yield up to 13.8 percent growth in annual profits.
