Getting to grips with the complexities of industrial decarbonisation using soft systems
The article emphasizes the importance of contextual evaluation in applying the soft systems model to industrial decarbonisation. This approach assesses how proposed measures align with an organization's broader policies and strategies. It highlights the need for holistic thinking in energy management, requiring a high level of internal communication and considering various factors like relocation plans, plant replacement cycles, and product strategies. The author underscores that decarbonisation is not an end goal but a driving factor for change, necessitating a thorough evaluation of technical, financial, and contextual aspects within an organization.

Energy security is not a new issue. We had the oil crises of 1973 and 1979. It has been good this time round that there has been concerted action in the EU at least to reduce dependence on Russian gas. Improving energy efficiency has always been, and remains one of the most powerful, and potentially quickest action.
