Clean energy

Energy Transition

The clean energy sector is no longer just about renewable power. It covers a vast array of issues involved in the transition towards a decarbonized economy, including:

  • renewable power
  • energy efficiency and heat/cooling
  • smart and distributed energy systems
  • storage solutions
  • sustainable transport including electric mobility
  • clean fuels including green, blue and yellow hydrogen as well as biofuels
  • sustainable forestry and agriculture
  • sustainable finance
  • decommissioning and end-of life assets
  • Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

It is a constantly changing sector with numerous influences and market dynamics that vary across markets and technologies. The funding and financing structures and those who provide it also vary greatly depending on market and technology. To stay competitive, now more than ever, you need legal advisers who understand this sector globally, holistically and in depth.
