Decarbonisation has become an imperative topic for CEOs and shareholders. Our consultants are trained in implementing corporate strategy methodologies and applying their expertise in energy, climate, and carbon accounting. We help our clients reconcile decarbonisation objectives with strategic, commercial, and financial goals and ensure their successful implementation.

Decarbonising industry, logistics, and service activities requires significant investment in new equipment and processes to improve energy efficiency, adjust energy and material supply, and drive innovation in processes and products. This transition involves significant technical, financial, and economic challenges, as well as change management issues. For example, companies may need to:

• “Green” their electricity consumption by signing long-term renewable energy contracts,
• Use new energy carriers like green hydrogen and modify industrial processes,
• Use emerging technologies, such as high-temperature electric boilers and kilns,
• Finance large-scale investments with return-on-investment (ROI) and risk management approaches that may require public funding or a shift from CAPEX to OPEX.

Decarbonisation should not be a limited to showing compliance with the Paris Agreement or ESG reporting; it must become a key instrument for business modernization and differentiation. Decarbonisation provides companies with an opportunity to deeply consider the impacts of climate change on their strategy. Managing risks and identifying opportunities unlocked by climate challenges are fundamental to ensuring business performance and sustainability today and in the long term.

As a strategy consulting firm composed of energy, transport, and decarbonisation experts, E-CUBE supports C-level executives in answering two essential questions:

1. What are the impacts of climate change and the energy transition on my strategy, products, business model, sourcing, supply chain, and industrial policy?
2. In line with the Paris Agreement, what ambition should I set for decarbonizing my business? Which scopes (1, 2, and 3) should I cover? How should I achieve this ambition?

E-CUBE delivers services ranging from diagnostics to action plan development, governance setup, and ambition-building, always led by top management. Our added value lies in strengthening the link between corporate strategy, commercial and financial goals, and climate objectives, aligning all levels of management within a company. We provide our clients with expertise on energy and climate scenarios across more than 50 countries, knowledge of low-carbon energy or transport solutions, and tailored energy efficiency actions based on local regulatory and fiscal contexts. Our work is grounded in an analytical approach to investment challenges, leveraging techno-economic models to help navigate uncertain energy and carbon price evolutions and meet short- and medium-term financial and commercial objectives. We provide decision-making support on issues that remains complex for many companies to address.
