global economy. The transition to a low carbon economy requires a massive and increased rate of investment from both the public and private sectors across many different technologies and sectors.</h3> <p>Growth is needed in renewable energy, energy efficiency and storage, the electrification of energy-intensive industries, transportation and heating, and the development of green fuels – both biofuels and e-fuels derived from clean hydrogen. Not all emissions can be avoided, and effective ways are needed to reduce and eventually eliminate the greenhouse gas emissions of oil and gas operations, such as carbon capture and storage at scale and direct air capture, to achieve net zero and limit climate change. Meeting the increasing demand for battery metals is integral to the energy transition. Digitisation, including the integration of digital technologies into infrastructure assets, will continue to play an important role in facilitating the energy transition and maximising efficiency and long-term sustainability.</p> <p>We advise clients on the full breadth of energy transition-related matters, ranging from project development, construction and financing, to M&A and joint ventures, as well as providing detailed regulatory and tax advice. We are also well-positioned to advise and represent multinational clients in cross-border litigation, international arbitration, investigations and risk mitigation.</p> <p>Across the globe, our lawyers are routinely involved in many first-of-a-kind and award-winning transactions as we support our clients in their energy transition journey, across onshore and offshore wind, floating offshore wind, solar, carbon capture, clean hydrogen, battery storage, EV charging, grids, interconnection, carbon trading, digital infrastructure and new nuclear.</p> </article></div> </div> <aside
