Our CIO Special report, 'Energy Transition – the quest for emissions-free energy', looks at a central challenge for the world today: how we produce and use energy in a more sustainable way.

This transition will not just involve switching energy production to more renewable sources but also, as we argue, involve changing the ways in which we distribute, store and consume energy. This is an urgent task: the sector already accounts for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand is expected to increase.

 

This is the first report a new series exploring our nine long-term investment themes (LTIT).

In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S.

The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.

No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive.
