Overview

92% of industrial companies invest in energy efficiency. Progress still plateaus around 10 to 20%. The problem is not commitment, technology, or capital. It is governance. Energy decisions trapped in payback calculations and spreadsheets of disconnected projects, while energy quietly becomes a boardroom-level constraint on growth.

The top 5% run energy differently. Companies like BASF, Dow, and Norsk Hydro govern energy the way they govern R&D: as a balanced portfolio of efficiency gains, sourcing bets, and long-horizon technology positions.

  • A maturity model for industrial energy governance, from project lists to Stage 4 portfolio discipline
  • How BASF, Dow, and Norsk Hydro run energy like an R&D portfolio
