The market for energy has always been affected by climate, global policies and new technologies. According to Energy and Climate Academy, who works worldwide in further education for the energy and climate sector, there are changes ahead. The future parameter for success is not another invention, but the ability to be able to process the large amount of new information and the ability to cooperate with both knowledge centres, government agencies and other actors who should be considered as partners rather than competitors.
The strategic overview in the energy & climate sector has been reserved for a few experts in the sector. They analysed the energy system and then communicated with tech developers and the decision makers. The tech developers work from separate platforms such as companies or universities.
A wind turbine producer’s closest competitor, at the moment, is other wind turbine producers and then come all the other energy sources such as solar, bio fuel and traditional fossil fuels. But in the future, the closest competitor will be other renewable energy sources and not just the other wind turbine manufacturer.
Simply put, the way the development – or the work distribution – in the energy and climate sector today, both nationally and internationally, belongs to a dying paradigm, which is being replaced with a new one, where growth and development on a much larger scale, will happen through the sharing of knowledge, co-operation and communication. This is the goal of Torben Kirkegaard, CEO and founder of Energy and Climate Academy, who develop courses targeted specifically at stakeholders in the energy and climate sector all over the world.
