Electrification and Decarbonisation are an exciting aspect of the wider Energy Transition, with far-reaching impacts on our ability to meet our net-zero targets. Electrification is not just how we use electricity; it profoundly shapes our towns and cities, our countryside, and our living standards and health. It can shape all these things for good – or for bad.
The carbon footprint of our power generation and distribution activities has grown. The energy sector, which includes electricity and heat generation, is responsible for around 29.7% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Electricity generation alone is responsible for over 40% of all energy-related emissions. This figure continues to rise as demand grows.
At DNV, we are working to help industry accelerate the decarbonisation of electricity and reduce these emissions to be able to meet net zero targets. We are looking for specialist electrification consultants to join this effort and make a real impact. Our growing team works with a range of stakeholders across the electricity value chain to provide independent technical and market advice to make informed decisions. We work with investors, OEMs, fleet operators, electricity networks and government on a range of challenging and fast-paced projects.
