A flexible outlook on energy

Flexible energy systems are necessary to support decarbonisation across our economy. Whether facilitating a shift to electric vehicles (EVs) or to heating our homes and businesses with electricity, biomass or hydrogen, flexibility is crucial to maximise the chances of achieving a net zero economy by 2050, and of doing so cost effectively.

Clean energy access

More than 730 million people around the world still lack access to electricity, and 2.4 billion people are without access to clean cooking. We accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy solutions to meet these key needs and accelerate progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7.

Sustainable cooling

Cooling is critical for health, prosperity, and the environment. It keeps our vaccines safe and food fresh, ensures we have comfortable buildings to live and work in, and is central to our industrial and transport infrastructure. However, cooling is typically energy intensive and highly polluting due to the emissions from the electrici...
