At Betelgeuse
We aim to make energy transition more mindful and holistic
As a multi-trillion-dollar industry, energy profoundly influences global socioeconomic and geopolitical landscapes and impacts day-to-day lives of people who have access to it as well as those who don't. As the world moves towards cleaner and more sustainable energy, transition planning efforts get incredibly complex and can consequently create tunnel visions.
​​
At Betelgeuse, we leverage advance research methodologies, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques to offer holistic energy policy advisory to individuals, businesses, and organizations.
