Superpedestrian Lifecycle Impact Analysis

Partner: Superpedestrian e-mobility

Task: After reviewing and utilizing some of the insights from an independent study completed by Chester Energy and Policy on the relative carbon emissions of the shared electric scooter sector, Superpedestrian got in touch to work with us to develop a customized version of such a model that could be used specifically for their company.

After reviewing competitor lifecycle analyses that were publicly available, Chester Energy and Policy worked closely with Superpedestrian to build out a highly robust model that takes their existing use case data to build out a complete analysis of the energy use and associated carbon emissions (and other pollutants) from company operations. Seeking to go for complete accuracy and thoroughness where competitors may have been shortchanging true analysis of their impact, Chester Energy and Policy developed a complete model that tracked impacts from manufacture, shipping, use, replacement parts, distribution transportation, and end-of-life consideration using complete sets of data (whether real or theoretical for future forecasting).

Based on this modeling exercise, Chester Energy and Policy assisted Superpedestrian in outlining expected outcomes in new cities of deployment for permitting and application purposes, as well as identifying internal areas of opportunity for sustainability improvements.

This process included developing white papers, PowerPoint presentations, and pitches that would be delivered to key utility prospective partners.

Additionally, using their extensive network into the North American utility sector, Chester Energy and Policy identified the optimal potential partners that Senses Lab could work with for a pilot project with the smart thermostat project and provided direct introductions to key contacts and decision-makers at these relevant utilities, helping to move this key product to the next stage of business development.

Renewable Natural Gas and Hydrogen Energy Expertise and Market Research

Partner: Atrium Economics

Task: Atrium Economics was working to provide an energy & utility partner of theirs a report on the potential market for renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen fuel as a potential area of opportunity. In the development of this report, they needed subject matter expertise to dive into some key questions in this newly developing area and so they partnered with Chester Energy and Policy on answering numerous key questions.

Chester Energy and Policy scoured the latest government, academic, and scientific reports on the potential for RNG and hydrogen fuel to be a key development for oil and gas companies, and particularly vetted and provided key research on quantifiable areas like the potential costs, lifecycle emissions impacts, and current market penetration.

The research provided by Chester Energy and Policy also tapped into answering more qualitative questions, tapping into our key experience and expertise, to provide insights into the pain points and mitigation opportunities from early stage implementations of blending LNG/hydrogen into gas supplies, key public policies and potential regulations/incentives for such practices, and customer-side impacts.

Keying in on Best Caribbean Markets for New Solar Investment

Partner: Private Real Estate Developer and Solar Investor

Task: Chester Energy and Policy was tasked by an anonymous major real estate investor to evaluate the state of the Caribbean region when it comes to current and future development of solar investment, particularly as it relates to potential residential and commercial installations of solar power.

While this company had previously been focused on Florida and other domestic markets for investing in solar on potential real estate projects, they sought to expand into the Caribbean markets where it made sense to do so, but they wanted to bring a targeted approach in the diverse region. They tasked Chester Energy and Policy to review the various national policies and incentives in the Caribbean region, the existing power and utility landscapes of these countries, and the economic drivers from one nation to the next to pinpoint the optimal approach for their desired solar investments.

Chester Energy and Policy delivered a personalized and detailed market assessment of the Caribbean region, providing key trends, solar market drivers, and recommendations into which specific parts of the Caribbean region were most (and least) poised for the type of investment this client wanted to pursue.
