SectorMost major industry classification systems use sources of revenue as their basis for classifying companies into specific sectors, subsectors and industries. In order to group like companies based on their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, SASB created the Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®) and the classification of sectors, subsectors and industries in the SDG Investor Platform is based on SICS.
Renewable Resources and Alternative Energy
Alternative Energy
Business Model Description
Use of renewable energy for the generation of green H2 together with its derivatives (NH3, Synfuesl Jetfuel and green steel). This production chain ranges from electricity generation from renewable sources (wind, photovoltaic, on-shore or off-shore), conversion to H2 (hydrolysis plants), generation of new fuels, application to transport (road, maritime) and finally export logistics in ports.
Expected Impact
Generation of green H2 is a step towards decarbonization, it will cause an increase in GDP, exports, generation of foreign exchange and job creation.
