Energy & Environment—Hot Topics and Why
• A growing percentage of the global population will be living in cities and urban areas in the coming decades.
Higher concentrations of larger populations are fraught with challenges:
o Urban populations will be higher income, and the growing middle class will consume more goods, resources,
energy, and water, and create more waste and pollution.
o Increasing waste and pollution will drive awareness and the need for cleaner, more efficient energy and
transportation.
o Smart cities that can better use existing resources through improved monitoring, controls, and coordination of
services and infrastructure can improve quality of life for residents and attract more businesses.
• As top Mega Trends, urbanization and smart cities will drive changing market dynamics for energy and
environment market participants.
• Smart systems have been in place across the transmission & distribution (T&D) space and are now also moving
into commercial and residential buildings.
• The emergence of shale gas and shale oil in the oil and gas (O&G) space is also increasingly impacting the energy
and environment sector.
o Natural gas has replaced coal as the main fuel source for electricity in the United States.
o China has abundant, though technically difficult to access, shale beds that, if tapped, could further increase the
country's economic clout on the global stage.
o Europe is looking at shale gas to increase domestic energy sources but also balancing that with environmental
concerns.
o Environmental concerns, highlighted by industry participants as a key area of interest, are an issue with shale
extraction because they drive the potential for smart cities.
o Frost & Sullivan covers the full ecosystem of energy and environment—from upstream O&G, to power generation,
across the T&D grid, and into the building and waste streams—as well as the Mega Trends and Macro Issues that
create new challenges and opportunities.
