Stakeholder Analysis Research Project: Supply Chain Decarbonization Project

Stakeholder Analysis Research Project: Supply Chain Decarbonization Project

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?

  • What is the marketplace demand for Scope 3?

  • How do you see this evolving?

  • Which industries represent the highest growth industries?

  • 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)?
