White Paper

A transformative shift is underway as carbon dioxide moves from a waste product to a valuable resource, creating a new “carbon economy”. As the costs of inaction rises, leaders must define an approach how their business can participate in the new economy. But what business models exist? And what actions must be taken to seize the opportunity while mitigating associated risks? 

We have compiled a comprehensive overview of the carbon economies value chain including concrete examples of existing business models and technologies. Both push and pull factors drive the emergence of a value chain along the key activities of capturing, transporting and utilizing or storing carbon. We highlight key obstacles and provide concrete actions for entering the carbon economy based on our experience in implementing decarbonization strategies together with our clients.
