  • The Ways to Play – Energy Transition Opportunities for Financial Participants – This report continues the framework established in our “The Ways to Play” series. Financial services are the keystone of connecting capital for nascent energy transition technologies; however, the plethora of opportunities is staggering and makes deploying smart capital challenging. Deciphering the risk profiles of these technologies is critical for firms that seek to invest in and advise on the ongoing energy transition.

  • Global Energy Transition | Infrastructure Dominates 2Q24 Themes – This presentation, shown at the Enverus EVOLVE 2024 Conference, delves into how emissions are being captured today and the global emissions monitoring landscape. We examine what technologies we believe will enhance emission visibility and how to expect those technologies to be deployed.
