Context 

In view of the declining potential of its historical Oil & gas business, our client investigated several diversification opportunities in adjacent markets, consistent with its know-how and energy transition roadmap.

In this context, the Innovation department wanted to evaluate the potential for diversification in the field of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and to identify innovative partners with whom to create a complementary business.

Mission

We carried out a deep dive study divided into three steps:

  • A market study to paint a complete picture of all the megatrends (new business models, technologies, use cases)
  • A startup landscape to identify the innovative players driving CCUS forward worldwide
  • A startup scoring to establish recommendations on the most relevant options for collaboration (R&D agreement, commercial partnership, investment, acquisition, etc.)
