Killen & Associates is different
Napoleon said, “Given the choice
between a cannon and a thunderbolt
I will always choose the latter.”
We’ve decided to provide a major energy company four thunderbolts! (A storm for all competitors). And each one would significantly increase the effectiveness and reach of its most important strategy –the Transition Strategy. And we know that the strategy is a long-term plan to shift its business model from reliance on high-carbon, fossil fuel–based energy toward cleaner, more sustainable, and low-carbon energy sources. Knowing the plan was good for the country and the company, there will be winners and losers.
For those not familiar with the goals of the strategy:
Decarbonization Goals – targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (often net-zero by 2050 or earlier).
- Energy Mix Shift – moving investments and operations from oil, coal, and natural gas toward renewables (solar, wind, hydrogen, bioenergy, nuclear, etc.).
- Operational Efficiency – improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in exploration, production, refining and distribution.
- Innovation & Technology – investing in carbon capture, energy storage, smart grids and digital solutions.
- Policy & Regulation Alignment – ensuring compliance with international, national and regional climate policies.
- Stakeholder Engagement – communicating with investors, governments, customers and communities to show commitment to sustainability.
- Resilience & Risk Management – preparing for climate risks, regulatory shifts and evolving market demands.
The Transition Strategy is roadmap for energy companies to evolve from a traditional fossil fuel–based company into a future-ready, low-carbon energy provider while staying profitable and competitive.
Introduction
Thunderbolt One
A 4 foot by 24 foot semi-abstract painting of the client’s Transition Strategy that resonates deeply with employees, investors, policymakers and the public which increases the effectiveness and reach of the company’s Transition Strategy message.
Semi-abstract art has the power to translate the Transition Strategy into a language! This type of painting takes the technical plan of the Transition Strategy and turns it into a movement—one that people can see, feel and believe in.
Your Transition Strategy, of course is more than a set of policies and technologies—it’s a story of resilience, innovation, and leadership. By expressing your Transition Strategy through this special kind of art, you show that the strategy is not just about compliance, but about vision and values. It transforms strategy from a document into a movement—one that inspires trust, strengthens reputation, and positions your company as an industry leader in shaping the energy future.
Also, the art emotionally resonates with members of the team and gives the company the momentum it needs to lead its industry in shaping a sustainable future for the company, country and beyond.
Shortly, we will provide images of organizations, some of which, are much larger than any company that that has or is using our semi- abstract art to attain their goals.

Dr. Ripudaman Malhotra
He will produce six Killen & Associates White Papers. Ripu is a world class energy and market expert. He is the editor of the Sections: Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization, and Storage and Disposal + Methane Capture; Direct Air Capture and Reactant Regeneration Handbook of Decarbonization Technologies, published by Springer Nature.
He is the co-author of the book, A Quarter Mile of Oil: Realities and Options for Averting the Looming Energy Crisis. Ripu is also the author of 100 plus peer reviewed articles, and a Stanford Research International (SRI) Fellow, Chemistry.
Ripudaman Malhotra has produced numerous insights into this issue from his technical contributions, including energy conversion such as coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid processes, mechanisms of combustion, and the mitigation of pollutants.
As Associate Director of the Chemistry Laboratory at SRI International for 35 years, Dr. Malhotra managed and contributed to projects encompassing process development, mechanistic studies, and chemical analysis of resources and fuels. The work on coal liquefaction and pyrolysis identified novel pathways for hydrogen transfer and changed conventional views of coal conversion processes. The Energy and Fuels Division of the American Chemical Society acknowledged this accomplishment by presenting Dr. Malhotra with the 2015 Henry H. Storch Award. He also received the SRI 2005 Fellows Award, the highest honor SRI bestows on its employees for technical excellence and professional contributions.
Grasping the bigger picture, he is educating the world about its energy consumption and sourcing using easily grasped metrics. For example, he co-authored the book A Cubic Mile of Oil: Realities and Options for Averting the Looming Energy Crisis (with Hewitt Crane and Edwin Kinderman), proposing to use a cubic mile of oil as a standard measure of energy from all sources, thus simplifying analysis and tracking of worldwide energy use. He continues to publicize energy and environmental issues with his blog (also titled A Cubic Mile of Oil) and with frequent presentations to audiences around the nation and the world. He has delivered invited/plenary presentations at technical symposia and at universities and gives numerous talks at smaller public forums.
