The world is facing the twin challenges of energy security and sustainable generation. Global energy demand is projected to rise by around 50% by 2050, driven by population growth, industrialisation and electrification. While clean energy investment has surged, over US$1 trillion committed since 2020, traditional energy sources remain vital, with natural gas expected to grow as it replaces coal.
This article by Wigmore member firm, Mutual Trust, published in recognition of Earth Day 2025 under the theme “Our Power, Our Planet”, explores how strategic investment and innovation across the energy supply chain are shaping the future. It highlights opportunities for investors in companies transitioning to lower-emission solutions, businesses enabling the energy transition through critical minerals and storage technologies, and leaders pioneering new approaches to energy production.
From carbon capture initiatives by major oil and gas producers, to breakthroughs in thermal storage and solar technology, the piece underscores the importance of a diversified approach to energy investment. As the article notes, “Energy security is not just about keeping the lights on; it’s about ensuring economic stability and national security.”
