“It takes a village…”
Already among the largest and most complex ‘machines’ ever created, our energy systems must now be fundamentally transformed for a Net Zero Emissions future. This is one of the most complex challenges ever faced by humanity.
For example, decarbonised power systems must be secure and cost-efficient. As critical societal systems, they must also be increasingly human-centred and deliver a ‘balanced scorecard’ of outcomes for society.
Fostering trust and establishing social licence for this scale and pace of change requires a new generation of multi-stakeholder participation and collaboration.
‘Energy Catalyst creates the spaces and processes for often conflicted stakeholders’
Energy Catalyst applies both our Navigate and Validate lenses to the design of all engagements. This involves comprehending the wider context in which the engagements exist, the systemic issues at stake and the key aspirations of the stakeholders, etc. It also often involves a key focus on the expanding range of sector couplings critical to future power systems such as water, transport, gas and hydrogen systems.
In other words, Energy Catalyst creates the spaces and processes for often conflicted stakeholders to navigate ‘wicked’ energy system problems, co-create solutions, and make future-oriented change possible sooner.
