What is the Great Chasm?
The world has entered an era of transition, and different countries, businesses and citizens have different starting points. They have different resources, philosophies and challenges. As a result, we're seeing many different transformation paths and speeds to create a cleaner, smarter infrastructure infrastructure that involves many dilemmas, disagreements, and difficult decisions. There are many debates on the feasibility of carbon capture and storage, the role of green gas and blue hydrogen, the best types of energy storage, the use of carbon pricing mechanisms, the role of biofuels and synthetic fuels, the level of intervention, whether to build or retrofit, how to change consumer behavior, the potential of electric vehicle integration technology, the economic cost of decarbonization, and more.
Only half of executives believe their country has a unified (52%) or effective (47%) decarbonization strategy.
This study finds that the world is divided on a number of major issues. In terms of the pace of transformation, there is a gap between the leading organizations and countries and those lagging behind, and of course, it is normal to have different philosophies and perspectives. In the years of relative calm, we can also afford the costs of inefficiencies and delays. But for today's world. Disagreement has become an unbearable burden.
Matthias Rebellius, Executive Director and CEO of Smart Infrastructure at Siemens, said: "Infrastructure transformation is imminent, and the consequences of delays will be severe. To reverse or at least slow the trend of global warming and improve the world's ability to adapt to climate change, we must transform infrastructure at an unprecedented speed and scale. To do this, we need to increase coordination, cooperation and standardization.
The survey found that the number of respondents at both ends of the progress bar was equal in terms of their views on each infrastructure transformation goal. This shows that there are differences in development paths and speeds in a number of areas. And, a similar pattern emerged for each of the dimensions of impact we studied (region, city, and industry).
