<h4>​In the wake of COP28, the renewable energy sector faces monumental challenges to achieve ambitious goals like reaching 11000 gigawatts by 2030. We had the pleasure of sitting down with Mindy Prefling, Associate Director here at Spencer Ogden, to discuss these challenges.</h4>
These challenges are not just about the technical and infrastructural aspects, but also significantly hinge on the availability of skilled talent.&nbsp;The need to carefully examine the impact on talent following COP28 is crucial, especially given the extensive nature of renewable energy projects. These projects involve significant financial investments, often in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and require many technically skilled individuals.
​
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW39789096 BCX0" align="left">The Talent Challenge in Renewables</h3>
Mindy highlights how scaling up to 11000 gigawatts is an immense task, essentially doubling current capacities. The main hurdle in reaching this goal is securing enough skilled talent. And that&rsquo;s not only for constructing renewable energy projects &ndash; it's also for developing the necessary infrastructure around them, such as interconnection and transmission systems. This adds an extra layer of complexity, requiring even more specialised, technically skilled professionals.
​
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW39789096 BCX0" align="left">Renewable Energy in the US Market</h3>
Seeing it first-hand, Prefling spoke on how, in the U.S. market, a major challenge is found in the development phase of renewable energy projects. The scarcity of talent in this crucial early phase obstructs the ability to establish a strong project pipeline. This phase is vital as it sets the foundation for subsequent construction and implementation efforts.
​
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW39789096 BCX0" align="left">Economic Impacts on the Renewable Energy Sector and Recruitment</h3>
Despite its growth trajectory, Mindy highlights how the renewable energy sector isn&rsquo;t immune to broader economic influences including politics, legislation, supply chain issues, and rising costs. These kinds of factors create market uncertainties, which in turn affect the confidence of the talent market.&nbsp;During economic volatility, professionals are hesitant to transition careers, further exacerbating the talent shortage in the renewable energy industry.
​
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW39789096 BCX0" align="left">Strategies for Attracting Talent to Renewables</h3>
New and effective strategies for attracting talent to the renewable energy sector have been observed, particularly at the college level. Numerous companies are actively engaging with universities, organising tabling events on campuses, and forming partnerships to generate interest in renewable energy careers among students. Prefling speaks on how these efforts play a crucial role in sparking enthusiasm in new entrants about the possibilities of participating in the energy transition.
​
<h3 class="Paragraph SCXW39789096 BCX0" align="left">Spencer Ogden's Role in Talent Transition</h3>
Spencer Ogden, a firm at the forefront of this industry, addresses the challenge of transitioning talent from traditional energy sectors to renewables through a consultative approach with clients. They work to identify where skill set flexibility exists and explore parallel industries for potential talent. Additionally, they&rsquo;ve launched a podcast featuring industry thought leaders discussing various hiring strategies and goals, including bringing diversity into the renewable energy sector.
​
The primary challenge post-COP28 lies in making sense of ambitious goals and creating executable plans. However, the aspect of talent acquisition often comes into play late in the process, leading to project delays. The renewable energy sector must adopt a proactive approach to hiring talent to mitigate future slowdowns and meet set goals. As an industry, we must continue building strategies that not only attract but also retain and develop talent capable of driving the energy transition forward.

​In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate responsibility and sustainability, Spencer Ogden is making significant strides towards a greener, more environmentally conscious future. In 2023, we partnered with Terrapass, to oversee our ongoing carbon neutral accreditation and contributing to a sustainable planet.
A Shared Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
Terrapass shares our passion for environmental responsibility, making them the perfect partner in our mission towards carbon neutrality. Together, we've carefully chosen projects that not only align with our company's purpose but also resonate with our PACE values. The result? Spencer Ogden proudly retains its status as a 100% carbon-neutral business.
Our dedication to environmental responsibility has yielded impressive results. Since the inception of our carbon offsetting journey, we've successfully offset a staggering 750,000 kg of CO2. This milestone is not just a number; it's a testament to our commitment to sustainability.
A Collaborative Effort: Choosing the Right Projects
Our journey towards carbon neutrality has been a collective effort, guided by our brilliant SO Sustainability team. Every member of the Spencer Ogden family participated in selecting projects that make a real impact on the environment and communities worldwide.
Katingan Peatland Project:
One of our chosen projects is the Katingan Peatland Project, which focuses on preserving Indonesian peatland ecosystems. This initiative not only benefits biodiversity, including populations of orangutans, but also provides crucial support to local communities dependent on the land.
Niht Topaiyo Project:
Another project close to our hearts is the Niht Topaiyo Project, dedicated to safeguarding Papua New Guinean rainforests. Beyond preserving carbon storage, this endeavor enhances local communities through investments in infrastructure, ultimately combating poverty at its roots.
A-Gas Voluntary Emissions Reduction Project:
The A-Gas Voluntary Emissions Reduction Project tackles the pressing issue of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These potent greenhouse gases have played a role in creating a hole in the ozone layer. This project intervenes by preventing over 1 million metric tons of HFCs from being released into the atmosphere annually. How? By recovering and repurposing used HFCs from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Sustainable Energy
Our journey towards sustainability doesn't stop with carbon offsetting. We've taken significant steps to transition our offices to renewable energy sources. One key initiative involves the purchase of location-specific Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), ensuring that our energy consumption in 2022 was sourced from renewable energy.
One shining example of our commitment to renewable energy is our Denver office, which now operates on 100% wind energy from local wind farms. This initiative serves as a testament to our dedication to sustainable practices, and we're on track to extend this effort to all Spencer Ogden offices.
Looking Towards Net Zero by 2030
While our achievements thus far are noteworthy, our vision extends even further. We're on a path towards Net Zero by 2030, an ambitious goal that underscores our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our pledge to annual carbon offsetting is steering us closer to this target, and we believe that making a concerted effort to offset our carbon footprint annually will be instrumental in reaching Net Zero. Together, with the collective efforts of our global team and partners like Terrapass, we can make a substantial impact.
Join Us on Our Sustainability Journey
Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a core part of our identity. Together, we can continue to make meaningful contributions to the environment and the communities we serve.

Sustaining Carbon Neutrality in Partnership With Terrapass

<div class="blog_body gen_con">
Global investment in the clean energy market is set to rise $1.7 trillion this year with solar energy predicted to override oil production for the first time ever.&nbsp;
About $2.8 trillion is posed for global investment in energy in 2023 overall. $1.7 trillion is expected to go to green technologies such as electric vehicles, nuclear power, and storage while the remaining $1 trillion is set to be allocated to fossil fuels including coal, gas, and oil!
According to the latest IEA World Energy Investment Report, increasing preference towards sustainable energy options is strengthened by affordability and security concerns. These concerns follow Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine and are triggered by the global energy crisis. Enhanced policy support through major actions like the US Inflation Reduction Act have played a part, driving momentum within this area.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, about 1.7 dollars are now going into clean energy. Five years ago, this ratio was one-to-one. One shining example is investment in solar, which is set to overtake the amount of investment going into oil production for the first time.&rdquo; said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.
</blockquote>
It is anticipated that annual clean energy investment will rise 24% by end of 2023, driven by renewables, compared to a 15% rise in fossil fuel investment over the same period. Over 90% of this increase comes from advanced economies, presenting a serious risk of new dividing lines in global energy if clean energy transitions do not pick up elsewhere.
The biggest shortfalls in clean energy investment are found in developing economies. There are some positive developments, such as dynamic investments in solar in India, however, financing in many countries is being held back by factors including higher interest rates, unclear policy frameworks and weak grid infrastructure.
The IEA and IFC call for more to be done by the international community, especially to drive investment in lower-income economies, where the private sector has been reluctant to venture.
To help address this, the IEA and the IFC will release a new special report on the 22nd June, titled - Scaling Up Private Finance for Clean Energy in Emerging and Developing Economies.

​Seven Clean Seas strives to build a community committed to challenging the status quo, getting involved and cleaning the seas. Based in south-east Asia, Seven Clean Seas supports a diverse range of businesses and organizations, working towards achieving plastic neutrality and reducing their plastic footprint. Through their work, this ocean impact organisation helps local communities to thrive and prosper and partnerships with businesses like Spencer Ogden enable them to create permanent positive change in some of the most polluted areas on earth. We caught up with CEO and founder of Seven Clean Seas, Tom Peacock-Nazil, to find out, where it all began.
<img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/vbcsxohy835idxmvh5zwe9ckm7zz" alt="Tom" width="500" height="500">
​
What is Seven Clean Seas and what is it's mission?&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.sevencleanseas.com/">Seven Clean Seas</a>&nbsp;is an ocean impact organisation that my wife and I started back in June 2018. Our main goal was to find a way to enable ocean clean-up projects and really contribute towards removing plastic from the world&rsquo;s marine ecosystems. That mission hasn't changed to this day. Our vision is an ocean without plastic- picture it! We want people to really visualize the absolute amazingness of the ocean and everything that calls it home, and to aspire to help restore that level of magnificence and clarity that our oceans used to have.
​<img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/ob403ywzvfn1f38kngutxi6q801a" alt="beach" width="500" height="500">
​
As CEO and founder of Seven Clean Seas, what made you start it?
I&rsquo;ve been coming to Malaysia my entire life; I&rsquo;m half Malaysian and I&rsquo;ve always loved Southeast Asia. One thing that has always stood out to me is the level of plastic pollution in this part of the world.&nbsp;A few years ago, my wife and I took a trip to the beautiful paradise island of &lsquo;Kohlipe&rsquo;, off the west coast of Thailand. We spent the entire day enjoying Sunrise Beach and loved it so much that we decided to return the next day, however, overnight a storm had set in. When we returned to the island, there was a floating slick of oil on the usually turquoise water and so much plastic on the white sand beach it was impossible to walk on it. My wife and I thought, we can't fix this problem alone, but we can go back to Singapore and try and raise awareness about it. We chose to do that through the medium of beach, clean-ups back in July 2018. That was really the genesis of everything!&nbsp;
​
Seven Clean Seas partner with many businesses. How did the partnership with Spencer Ogden come about? 
We work with many businesses. One way we support companies to offset their plastic footprint is through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sevencleanseas.com/plastic-credits">Plastic Credits.</a>&nbsp;The other way is how we link environmental impact to whichever service or product that an organization sells so the business can benefit too. With Spencer Ogden, for example, for each placement made by a consultant, we go out and remove 1kg of plastic from ocean. It's a creative way to create environmental and social impact for an organization, and it's particularly important as a revenue stream for us. Having a plethora of partners, gives us the confidence to grow our teams, hire more people and create environmental impact.
​
Tell us more about plastic neutrality and what this means?
To achieve plastic neutrality as a business, this means that for every amount of plastic created, an equal amount of plastic waste must be removed from the environment. At Seven Clean Seas, we have a four-point engagement strategy which helps companies that we work with achieve plastic neutrality and become certified plastic neutral. Our biggest partnership to date was in collaboration with the FIFA World Cup, 2020 held in Qatar. We estimated that the event would use 600 odd tons of plastic. To offset this, we removed 600 odd tons of plastic from the ocean, on behalf of FIFA World Cup, to help neutralize their environmental impact.
<img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/2wxzwnh9wmajqe4pdjjwsvim6ag6" alt="beach clean" width="500" height="500">
There are lots of myths out there about plastic waste &ndash; are there any myths you would like to bust?
Yes massively. While most plastic waste
is technically recyclable, that doesn&rsquo;t mean its economically recyclable. Therefore, a lot of plastic that people throw away still finds its way into landfills. There are good and bad plastics, and I don&rsquo;t feel the education around this is quite where it needs to be, therefore people aren&rsquo;t fully informed when disposing of waste. If you can, try to stick to PT bottles when buying bottled water and ensure these are transparent, not coloured or even better, carry a reusable bottle with you! While you're not going to fix the world individually, we don't need 10% of the population doing sustainability perfectly; We just need 90% of the population trying to be a little bit sustainable each day!
​
How does Seven Clean Seas support local communities?
Working within areas that are underprivileged, it&rsquo;s important that we are doing what we can to empower the local communi
ty. 100% of the people that you see who are employed with us are formally on our payroll with social security such as pension, healthcare, and parental leave. Particularly within the waste management industry, employment can be very informal, so people aren&rsquo;t working within contracts and therefore protected by these agreements. By hiring people in the local area and looking after our employees, we offer financial stability which in turn gives our people the option to invest in their own future whether that&rsquo;s taking out a micro loan, returning to education or eventually moving on from Seven Clean Seas which is our ultimate goal.
<img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/6gfn9vkk4qgs9jj4qmixwqz24bxm" alt="beach clean up" width="500" height="500">
What&rsquo;s new in the&nbsp;world of ocean, river and beach cleaning?
The trend of cleaning up oceans is new, becoming popular around 2017 spurred on by a few big documentaries around pollution and plastic waste. The real innovation, starting to gain momentum now is plastic credits! We have an in-house team of sustainability consultants who can go into an organisation and help measure the plastic footprint of an office, product, or event. They analyse plastic waste and make recommendations to reduce the plastic footprint moving forward. Each 1,000kg of plastic that we remove from the ocean or prevent from entering the ocean can generate a plastic credit. Companies can buy plastic credits to compensate for their plastic footprint whilst generating positive environmental impact. This generates the funding Seven Clean Seas need to operate and build new projects.
​
What are you most proud of?
We employ around 70 people as part of our full-time collection crew in Indonesia. These are people who did not have good economic situations prior to being hired. Now they have full-time jobs on living wages, and they can invest in their future. We ran a social questionnaire which asked our people about the benefits of being employed with us. The answers we received were really moving, for example, one employee was able to put their sister through university and another could help their parents pay off a loan. It&rsquo;s making a real impact to people&rsquo;s lives that I am just incredibly proud of. Of course, the big elephant in the room is obviously how much plastic we've removed from the environment. As of Tuesday 11th, 2023, this is&nbsp;1,208,232&nbsp;kilograms of plastic!

Tom Peacock- Nazil: Transforming our world’s oceans, one beach clean-up at a time

A major trend coming up in energy storage is vehicle-to-grid or V2G storage. Set to be almost as big a contributor to global capacity as dedicated lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro within the next 20 years.&nbsp;
V2G charging enables energy to flow bi-directionally between the grid and the car. This process also allows electric vehicle owners to make money by selling energy from their vehicle back to the grid. A trial programme conducted in the UK involved V2G connected car-owners selling energy from their vehicle back to the grid at a rate of 30p per kWh. The programme concluded that customers could earn as much as &pound;725 a year simply by keeping their cars plugged in when they are not in use.
Studies have shown that V2G could even improve car battery performance. An experiment conducted by the University of Warwick, concluded that the smart grid could extend the life of the EV battery &ldquo;beyond the case in which there is no V2G.&rdquo;
Tesla&rsquo;s CEO, Elon Musk has expressed scepticism about the widespread utilisation of V2G technology. Musk has said that he doesn&rsquo;t think many people will use bi-directional charging unless they have a Powerwall. A Powerwall is a Tesla battery which stores energy, detects outages, and automatically becomes a home&rsquo;s power source when the grid goes down. Without a Powerwall, &ldquo;if you unplug your car, your house goes dark, and this is extremely inconvenient.&rdquo;
All the signs point towards V2G and its anticipated rise to prominence as one of the key contributors of energy storage capacity around the world in the coming years. In conclusion, the ever-increasing number of electric cars on the road means that the failure to widely deploy such technology would represent a blatant oversight in the drive to create a carbon-free society.

The future of energy storage: Vehicle-to-grid technology set to be major provider of storage capacity globally

Going beyond transactional recruitment

<h2>Going beyond transactional recruitment</h2>

In a landmark moment for the global energy transition, the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) agreed to transition away from fossil fuels, triple renewable power and double energy efficiency by 2030. The right talent with the right skills will be key to the energy transition. Spencer Ogden set the standard; we were the first recruitment business to focus on the renewables sector which accounts for over 70% of our business. Along with Sustainability our other two core sectors; Natural Resources and Infrastructure are a continuing part of the energy value chain. The global energy transition is an extremely important and ambitious undertaking, and our depth of experience enables us to partner with and advise our clients who are on this journey.

The Global Energy Transition

We have been setting the PACE since 2010. Our core values: People, Accountability, Collaboration and Excellence have guided us to become the award-winning market leading business that we are today.

As a business cognisant of our impact on the environment and one that is working towards a sustainable future, we are proud to work with two impact partners: Seven Clean Seas, a Bali-based Ocean impact organisation dedicated to ridding the oceans of plastic pollution and Cool Earth; a UK based charity which works with rainforest communities to halt deforestation, increase carbon storage potential, and develop the local community. Read more about our partnerships and the work we are doing with both organisations.
