BLUNOMY BRIEF: JANUARY 2026
A decade after the Paris Agreement, we’re closing one chapter, and opening another.
Climate impacts are no longer scenarios, they’re operational realities, reshaping supply chains, cost structures and business models. Beyond climate, nature loss and ecosystem degradation are emerging as equally material forces, exposing hidden dependencies and new vulnerabilities across sectors.
In a climate- and nature-constrained economy, resilience cannot be an add-on. It must be embedded into core decisions: how capital is allocated, which activities scale, and which business models remain viable. This is not a choice between sustainability and value creation. It is about building companies that can perform because they are aligned with physical, environmental and economic realities.
At Blunomy, this has been our focus for 18 years: helping companies and investors move from intention to execution — by sharpening risk and opportunity analysis, stress-testing strategic trajectories, and unlocking the capital needed to scale solutions that work in the real economy.
2026 should mark the shift from intention to impact.
Now is the time to scale.
Happy New Year.
Sébastien Guillo, CEO Blunomy

Turning customers’ engagement (downstream Scope 3) into commercial value
Blunomy supported Eramet’s commercial and sustainability teams in engaging hard-to-abate industrial customers in China, shifting decarbonisation from a compliance requirement to a value-creation discussion. By focusing on customers’ core business priorities - cost competitiveness, regulatory positioning, and access to low-carbon markets - we have co-developed tailored emissions trajectories that unlocked decarbonisation commitments.

TRANSITION PERSPECTIVES
After COP30: From CSO to Chief Resilience Officer?
In this position paper, Sébastien Guillo, CEO of Blunomy, shares a clear perspective on why the climate transition can no longer be treated as a peripheral sustainability issue. Drawing on Blunomy’s work with corporates, financial institutions and governments, he argues that resilience, not reporting, must now sit at the core of strategy, capital allocation and value creation in a rapidly changing economic landscape

New report launch: the VPP Readiness Index: Canada Edition
As global electricity demand is set to grow by 40–50% by 2035, Canada could see an increase of up to 40%. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) offer a cost-effective way to meet this challenge by coordinating distributed energy resources, such as batteries, solar, and EVs, to deliver grid-scale services while accelerating decarbonisation.
VPP Readiness Index: Canada, is a new report from Blunomy, Integrate to Zero (I2Z), and Clean Energy Canada (CEC), assessing the readiness of Canadian provinces for VPP deployment across regulatory, technical, and market dimensions, and building on previous international benchmarks.
Discover which provinces are most VPP-ready and how Canada compares with global peers.

Unlocking Australia’s Biomethane Potential
We welcome the NSW Renewable Fuel Strategy released in December, which confirms the growing role of bioenergy in the state’s transition and aligns perfectly with our recent work.
In 2025, Blunomy partnered with Energy Networks Australia (ENA) to map the nation's biomethane potential. Our analysis identifies key feedstock streams ready for immediate scale using proven technologies, and without competing with food production. As demand grows, strategic feedstock allocation will become increasingly important, especially for low-carbon liquid fuels.

📢Blunomy taking part in Malaysia's climate resilience strategy
Blunomy is pleased to join the project consortium working on the Sabah Green Grid (SGG) led by Forever Sabah, and as part of the Malaysia-UK PACT 2.0 climate transition programme, officially launched on 11 December 2024.
The Sabah Green Grid (SGG) project aims to catalyse financing for transmission infrastructure for grid-connected oil palm waste-based power generation (biomass and biogas) to Sabah's electricity grid. By addressing supply and demand dynamics, energy resource potential, business models, and operational planning, the project seeks to enhance Sabah's electricity supply, improve grid stability, and accelerate the state's transition from fossil fuels.
