The evening consisted of ClimateTech start-up pitches and thought-provoking discussions from leaders across sectors on the future of sustainable business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel discussions on sustainability explored whether technology or public policy were accelerating faster and how data, artificial intelligence, and computation can drive outcomes. They resulted in a series of insights on our current moment in the wider transition toward renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panelists \u2013 energy and sustainability experts from various organizations \u2013 touched upon important questions: What\u2019s the best strategy for scaling lower carbon businesses? What source of clean energy might take off in the near future? How can business partnerships create lasting impact?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are eight major takeaways from the panelist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-1-embrace-a-systems-approach-to-these-challenges\">Takeaway 1: Embrace a systems approach to these challenges<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nour Ghadanfar, Senior Director of Partnership Programs at Greentown Labs, the largest climate-tech incubator in North America, said their startups have a 90% survival rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She attributed this success to catalyzing so many climate solutions in part to the nonprofit\u2019s systems approach to management, which requires looking at the organization holistically to organize its interconnected parts as efficiently as possible to achieve its objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greentown Labs\u2019 systems approach, she explained, has four pillars: location (they opened an office in Houston where it\u2019s cheaper to scale), physical assets (they provide basic infrastructure), programmatic partnerships (they cultivate relationships that enable success), and a push for policy (they promote governmental support not provided by the market).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach has resulted in a rigorous membership application process, which requires at least $200,000 in capital, more than one person on the team, a comprehensive business plan for growth, and true climate-conscious bona fides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to make sure that their technology actually reduces emissions rather than adds to it,\u201d Ghadanfar said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a couple of startups apply with a climate-focused angle, but their technology actually ends up emitting more than it reduces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-2-factor-policy-uncertainty-into-long-term-plans-while-moving-forward\">Takeaway 2: Factor policy uncertainty into long-term plans, while moving forward<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina Calabrese is Director of Permitting and Environmental Affairs at EDP Renewables North America, which develops, constructs, owns, and operates wind farms, solar parks, and energy storage systems across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said public policy hasn\u2019t caught up with sustainable technology\u2019s advancements. This hurts the sustainability movement because companies want stability before investing in and deploying renewable energies at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe lack of clear guidance has really hindered the ramp up of this investment,\u201d Calabrese said. \u201cAnd if you really think about it, the IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] was passed 1\u00bd years ago and we&#8217;re still waiting for some clear guidance in many of these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calabrese said that a company with lower risk tolerance could hold off on committing to certain sustainability projects based on vague language in public policy, which might require reasonable assumptions that could have strong real-world repercussions if ultimately incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-3-allocate-proper-resources-to-esg-regulation-compliance\">Takeaway 3: Allocate proper resources to ESG regulation compliance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sindhuja Kanteti, Emissions Technical Advisor at Baker Hughes, which operates in more than 100 countries, said a huge team of leaders works on the humungous task of making sure the company\u2019s ESG reporting complies with different regulations across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Kanteti, beginning a sustainability journey is a lot of work and requires a combination of software, tools, and manual effort as it evolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest challenges with data and sustainability is that this information sits in multiple environments within an organization,\u201d Kanteti said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge of gathering data from multiple environments is particularly difficult for larger enterprises. But it is necessary for ensuring regulatory compliance and informing decision makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-4-avoid-corrupting-data-with-excessive-manual-intervention\">Takeaway 4: Avoid corrupting data with excessive manual intervention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah Karthigan, General Manager of Strategy &amp; Innovation, Enterprise Data, and Insights at Chevron, said achieving a zero-carbon future will require a mix of solutions. She pointed out that 80% of energy demands in the US are still fulfilled by fossil fuels today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s going to be really important to continue to grow investments in the myriad of solutions that drive sustainability,\u201d Karthigan said. \u201cData is a key enabler to making that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said organizations run into problems related to quality and accuracy when decentralized manual intervention is involved in data across the integrated value chain. She identified this as a big problem for driving results with data, which isn\u2019t limited to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, she added that often companies have the data they need but lack the immediate access for taking the right actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-5-keep-transforming-through-ecosystem-partnerships-even-if-you-re-a-sustainability-leader\">Takeaway 5: Keep transforming through ecosystem partnerships (even if you\u2019re a sustainability leader)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel Harrell, Director of the Energy Center of Excellence at Intel, the technology company that\u2019s among the world\u2019s largest semiconductor chip manufacturers by revenue, joked that their approach to sustainability resembles the Hair Club for Men\u2019s famous 1980s commercial, in which the founder told viewers, \u201cI\u2019m not only the Hair Club president, but I\u2019m also a client.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe partner with all our ecosystem partners \u2013 from OEMs to system integrators to all-across-the-gamut resellers \u2013 to develop solutions that are suitable for the vertical,\u201d Harrell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through continuous innovation, Intel provides technologies that help other companies become more sustainable, but also uses those same technologies to become more sustainable itself. To achieve these sustainability goals \u2013 both for itself and customer \u2013 Intel prioritizes gaining visibility over carbon consumption, decreasing carbon consumption in existing assets, and building next-generation sustainable infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy ourselves we are really nothing. But together with that ecosystem, building together, innovating together\u2026 it takes that ecosystem to really deliver,\u201d Harrell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft has pledged to be \u201ccarbon negative, water positive, and zero waste\u201d and for its energy to come 100% from renewable resources by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muge Wood, Energy Industry Solutions Leaders at Microsoft, said the company is taking the lessons it learned on its journey so far to help its customers make sustainability a daily part of their businesses: e.g., simplify data collection from suppliers, evolve our internal carbon emissions accounting approach and chart a path for water replenishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a plethora of platform services but one I will call out is Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, which was specifically designed to centralize and standardize data from across business units and supply chains in a comprehensive ESG data estate for advanced analytics and reporting\u201d Wood said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood said Microsoft has launched learning pathways on LinkedIn specifically designed to help sustainability professionals use data easier and more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is excited about the possibilities for responsible use of AI to query vast amounts of data and create content within the boundaries of an organization\u2019s security policies to yield unprecedented insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-6-identify-opportunities-for-decarbonization-with-data-and-analytics\">Takeaway 6: Identify opportunities for decarbonization with data and analytics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sujatha Kumar, Founder and CEO of Dsider, which provides an end-to-end net-zero planning solution, said the biggest challenge for sustainability-conscious organizations is figuring out how to decarbonize. She said this requires filling a huge gap in the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have to reduce emissions in three categories: scope one, scope two, scope three. Most are already reporting on scope one and tracking against targets. Now to do scope two and three you have to model through different forms of energy to actually decarbonize,\u201d Kumar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explained that this kind of analysis requires a lot of data and decision criteria to be in a single place, but that they are typically scattered.<br>\u201cThat\u2019s our focus to close that gap,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dsider curates the data needed to create opportunities to decarbonize and empowers organizations to achieve optimized energy outcomes. With tools like Dsider\u2019s, which use advanced modeling and simulation to identify decarbonization opportunities, companies can accelerate our shift to a low-carbon future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-7-don-t-overlook-geothermal-energy\">Takeaway 7: Don\u2019t overlook geothermal energy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay Patel, CEO of Geothermal Holdings, a geothermal exploration and production power company, discussed the advantages of generating electrical power from this renewable source of energy, particularly in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pointed out that many legacy energy players have announced geothermal consortiums and joint ventures, suggesting this pollution-free and reliable source of energy could experience a boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel moderator Mark Viehman, Principal of Hydrogen and Clean Fuels at Capgemini, asked Patel, \u201cWhy isn\u2019t this already being done? It seems to make so much sense, particularly if it\u2019s around-the-clock renewables.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUntil now there hasn\u2019t been much demand for renewable energy. We have been accustomed to natural gas being at a [certain] price, which was not possible for geothermal in the past,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said another reason is that companies didn\u2019t previously have geology and seismic data on the abundant, proven geothermal resources domestically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-takeaway-8-use-a-mix-of-technologies\">Takeaway 8: Use a mix of technologies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>John W. Martin, National Practice Lead for Sustainability at SAP, said it all comes down to automating data and unlocking a variety of sustainability attributes (around carbon, energy, water usage and so forth) from the source of a process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the process level, embedding sustainability or unlocking sustainability attributes out of those processes is core to our strategy,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses that strategically partner with other businesses will be better prepared for the energy transition than those that go it alone. Furthermore, businesses that don&#8217;t fully understand the advantages of operating within an ecosystem encounter difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Martin, no one company has all the best solutions for unlocking sustainability. He argued that embracing interdependency and using a mix of the leading technologies is the best path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe interoperability and extensibility of enterprise software to meet customers where they&#8217;re at so you can get data from all those disparate sources\u2026 is the reason we\u2019re doing this,\u201d Martin said. \u201cNot to mention meeting the existential threats that we\u2019re all trying to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, these are just a few of the many insights gleaned throughout the evening at \u201cHouston Sustainability Connect.\u201d It was clear that many businesses based in Texas and beyond are dedicated to being part of the sustainability revolution \u2013 eager to seize whatever opportunities and evade whatever setbacks lie ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><h2 data-maxlength=\"34\" class=\"people-heading-title\">Meet the author<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/05\/Tyler-Williams.jpg\" alt=\"Tyler Williams\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB25f20b48_cc03_47f4_8089_7280bf2772a9\" data-bs-expert-title=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tyler-williams-8a03b717\/\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Tyler Williams<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Deputy Head &#8211; Americas Sustainability<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB25f20b48_cc03_47f4_8089_7280bf2772a9\" data-bs-expert-title=\"Tyler Williams\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tyler-williams-8a03b717\/\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"people-info\">Tyler Williams is Deputy Head for Capgemini\u2019s Sustainability practice in the Americas and Principal of Sustainability &#038; Energy Transition.
