Closing the Gap On Clean Energy Supply-chain Sustainability

The International Energy Agency estimates that 2,400 gigawatts of clean energy will be deployed between 2022 and 2027. As business leaders and policy stakeholders work to implement these projects, it will be critical to secure access to the necessary equipment while continuing to decarbonize the supply chain.

The focus on supply-chain sustainability for the clean energy industry is creating both opportunities and challenges to build geographically diverse suppliers that can meet the escalating demand for renewable energy technologies.

This paper delves into the survey findings and highlights challenges and opportunities to improve supply-chain sustainability, including:

• Why onshoring is not a near-term panacea
• How a lack of necessary infrastructure inhibits supply-chain sustainability 
• The critical need for data and analysis to drive progress
