Dig Deep Analysing The Decarbonization Challenge Report - with Andrew Swart
In this episode we chat to Andrew Swart, Global Mining and Metals Leader at Deloitte. A returning guest, Andrew is going to talk about a recently-released report focussing upon the 2030 Decarbonization Challenge - The path to the future of energy.
We discuss the top drivers of decarbonization and what this mean to companies in the Energy & Resources sectors, as well as how mining companies are approaching decarbonization, what is and what is not within their control, and how this affects their value chains.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The issue of decarbonization is a complex one, and also one with a degree of uncertainty. The report seeks to explore the implications and opportunities for different companies within the energy sector.
- If we can figure out our carbon footprint, it drives real savings on a company’s bottom line. Depending on the portfolio we have, companies can also capitalise upon the broader societal trend.
- Many mining companies have to deal with multinational entities with operations in a variety of countries. Right now there is no uniform view in terms of carbon taxes and measures, meaning that there is a patchwork of varying legislation.
- The first step is to recognise the value chain. Companies must understand the nature of partnerships, where the products are being utilised, and how, and create a greater sense of visibility in the market.
