Mobility & Transportation
The world is facing an urgent need to shift away from fossil fuels and reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation sector. E-mobility, renewable fuels, hydrogen fuel cells, and the integration of these technology solutions offer a sustainable and efficient solution to the transportation sector's challenges.
However, these technologies are changing rapidly and can be difficult to navigate; thankfully, our experts at SWD can help navigate this ever-shifting landscape and support our client's next step forward.

Hydrogen fuel cell & Battery Systems
Buildings & Infrastructure
The development of new building technologies is transforming the construction industry and offering new solutions to some of its biggest challenges. From sustainable materials like Cross-laminated timber (CLT) and bamboo to technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D printing, and smart building systems, the industry is evolving.
As these new materials and technologies become more widely adopted, we can expect to see more efficient, sustainable and innovative buildings. This is a transformative change that we support with our clients at SWD.

Circularity & Clean Products
The traditional linear economy based on a “take-make-dispose” model, where resources are extracted, used to create products, and then discarded as waste, is not sustainable. The future lies within the circular economy model - a model that aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible by reusing, repairing, and recycling materials. We support development strategies around circularity integration into our client’s business models and generating new premium revenue streams.

Materials & Feedstocks
Integrating new materials and feedstocks into traditional O&G and chemical processes can improve efficiency and reduce the impacts of many processes that make the products we rely on daily. With advances in scaling innovative technologies, alternative feedstock and materials ranging from waste, naturally biodegradable materials, and innovative process pathways are aiding the realization of a sustainable utopia.
We believe these emerging changes offer transformational opportunities for our clients to create a resilient business, fit for a low-carbon future.

Clean Water-Food-Energy
A clean water-food-energy nexus is a holistic approach that addresses the interdependence and interconnections between water, food, and energy systems. At SWD, we believe this approach recognizes the need for coordinated policies and investments to ensure sustainable management of finite resources for the planet and future generations.
​
Can renewable energies compete with oil and gas?; What is the impact of damming on access to clean water access?; What about land use and food crops-to-fuel challenges?. We isolate noise from signals and design lasting integrated solutions and policies - for profit and impact for our clients.

Food & Agriculture Technology
Over the last century, agriculture and land use practices have changed drastically. While these changes have opened the door to feeding our global population, they have also caused issues with land use, food waste, supply chain and sourcing transparency. We believe alternative protein sources that utilizes less water, land and feed to produce equivalent protein as traditional livestock at lower greenhouse gases expense can be part of the solution.
At SWD, we guide our clients in designing sustainable practices for a lower footprint. We assess portfolios for gaps and opportunities and design realistic roadmaps for achieving their visions and goals.
