Stakeholder Analysis Research Project: Supply Chain Decarbonization Project

Owned by Woody Moore
Last updated: Apr 05, 2022

Objective

In order for the Supply Chain Decarbonization Project to be successful, we need to understand:

  • The pain points that will inform the solution that stakeholders need
  • The market dynamics that will inform business model to make this solution sustainable
  • The partnerships that can provide us with development/financial support and help lead to market awareness and adoption of the solution.

Stakeholders

Research Questions

Oil and Natural Gas Producers

  • What are the existing pressures (or incentives) for gas flaring decarbonization?
  • What additional pressures (incentives) do they anticipate?
  • How do they currently track this information?
  • What are they currently tracking? (Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions)?
  • What tools are they using?
  • What are their existing pain points in tracking these emissions (using the tools that they have available)?
  • What is their impression of blockchain? (concerns)?
  • What existing initiatives do they have to tackle this challenge? Interest/opportunity to participate with the CA2SIG?


Investors

  • What are the existing pressures that financial markets are placing on oil/gas companies for oil supply chain decarbonization? (Focus on gas flaring)
  • What future pressures are expected? 
  • What information (carbon emission data) do investors/the market currently use?
  • How is this information captured? What tools are used)?
  • What are the pain points? (Is this information trustworth costly to gather? accurate? sufficient for the needs of the marketplace?
  • In an ideal world, what information would investors like to be available to them?


Government

  • What are the existing government policies which are incentivizing Oil supply chain decarbonization? (Focus on gas flaring)
  • What new policies might be expected and when?


Solution Providers (consultants or technology vendors)

  • What is the marketplace demand for Scope 3?
  • How do you see this evolving?
  • Which industries represent the highest growth industries?
  • What solutions do you currently provide?
  • What are your pain points (what solutions do you need)
  • What is the business model?
  • Who are your greatest competitors?


Development Institutions

  • What are the existing pressures (or incentives) for gas flaring decarbonization?
  • What additional pressures (incentives) do they anticipate?
  • How do they currently track this information?
  • What are they currently tracking? (Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions)?
  • What tools are they using?
  • What are their existing pain points in tracking these emissions (using the tools that they have available)?
  • What is their impression of blockchain? (concerns)?
  • What existing initiatives do they have to tackle this challenge? Interest/opportunity to participate with the CA2SIG?
