Tomorrow starts today
Effective strategic change requires a sharp focus on the future. Whether it is the rise of circularity, the next steps for the hydrogen economy or the energy outlook for oil and gas firms, few companies can afford to cling blindly to the business models of the past. The ‘taking on tomorrow’ platform brings our insights into the future of industries in energy, utilities and resources together in one place, all at your fingertips.

Helping you navigate the road ahead
In less than 90 seconds of your time, Jeroen van Hoof (Global Leader, Energy, Utilities & Resources, PwC Netherlands) brings you closer to why we should care about the future of energy today instead of tomorrow.
“We’re seeing the future being pulled forward by a range of unstoppable forces. The impact of COVID-19 has intensified change that was already quickening. Humanity has been reminded of its vulnerability, and that awareness is likely to further accelerate the pace of technological transformation and heighten the focus on sustainability. Taking on tomorrow in an effective way will require companies to blend insight into the future with the reality of today.”
Inventing tomorrow’s energy system:The road ahead for molecules and electrons
In this PwC report, we examine the implications of the transition from our current energy system, which is dominated by fossil-fuel molecules, into one based on renewable-powered electrons and fossil-carbon-free molecules.
Moving from linear to circular
Circularity is gaining momentum as companies and policymakers alike recognise the limitations of traditionally linear economic models. We look at what circularity can offer energy, utilities and resources companies and also consider its relevance to sectors, such as oil and gas or other extractive industries, that are based on a linear model.
Green hydrogen economy - predicted development of tomorrow
Cost reductions in the production of renewable electricity and hydrogen and in transport technologies will result in an increase in the number of countries where green hydrogen can be produced competitively and play a critical role in decarbonisation economies worldwide.
Amping up innovation
The global utilities sector has a powerful tool at its disposal that it has not yet fully applied. Its investment in innovation and R&D has largely lagged behind other sectors. We look at the case for innovation becoming more of a priority and a strategic driver for the sector.
