Decarbonisation & Energy Transition

Engineering-led solutions to decarbonise our planet
Decarbonisation & Energy Transition

Action is needed to mitigate the impact of the climate crisis on our planet. 

Decarbonisation and the energy transition sits at the heart of pivotal shifts that must be made to meet emissions goals. Organisations globally face the challenge of optimising energy consumption, implementing sustainable engineering practices, and ensuring the development of robust infrastructure.

Our Approach

As action on the climate crisis becomes increasingly pressing, we apply robust engineering solutions to solve these problems within the industrial/manufacturing and built environments. This means if you own factories where you manufacture goods or corporate buildings to house your staff then we can provide you with costed and implementable decarbonisation plans that meet your corporate goals and/or Science Based Targets. 

We have teams of experienced engineers located across the globe to support your decarbonisation journey. We offer a wide range of services to our clients, from industrial and corporate asset decarbonisation along with energy transition projects and technical due diligence services.

Corporate Decarbonisation (emission reduction planning, roadmaps) 

We deliver comprehensive emissions reduction planning and roadmap services, leveraging emission forecasts and subject matter experts in key focus areas to identify actionable emission reduction levers and build implementation plans. 

  • Outline available emission reduction levers across your operations and evaluate costs and return on investment (ROI) for selected measures, using industry-standard estimates and company-specific data. 
  • Rank emission reduction levers based on implementation cost and emission impact to guide in-depth techno-economic analysis.
  • Visualise results through an intuitive marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve dashboard, enabling easy comparison of reduction measures.
  • Develop a strategic decision framework for prioritising measures, incorporating abatement potential, ROI, and qualitative factors.

Industrial Decarbonisation

We provide strategic guidance on how to reduce carbon emissions within industrial processes with a special focus on low carbon heat and industrial fuel switching along with bioenergy, waste, renewables, hydrogen and district heating/cooling. Our Industrial Decarbonisation service ensures your operations align with global efforts to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis.

Technical Due Diligence – Bioenergy and Renewables 

Whether you are buying or selling Bioenergy or renewable energy assets, our teams can support you during the process. We provide a complete range of highly effective due diligence services to provide clients with the accurate information they need to make the right investment decisions. 

  • Due diligence – Technical, financial and environmental 
  • Risk and benefit analysis 
  • Expert witness 
  • Financial feasibility assessments 
  • Environmental assessments 
  • Legislation services 

Renewable Energy Strategy/Sourcing (On-Site, Power Purchase Agreements, EAC) 

We provide renewable energy strategy and sourcing services to help organisations navigate the complex landscape of renewable energy procurement and reporting.

  • GHG Protocol Compliant Renewable Energy Essentials 
  • Corporate Renewable Energy Purchasing Options 
  • Macro Factors Impacting GHG Emission Inventories 
  • Innovative Approaches to Scope 3 Emissions Reduction 
  • Emissions Forecasting & Management

 

Project Implementation Support 

Whether we are leading a major programme of work or undertaking a site-based project, we have the skills and resources to manage your project from feasibility to operation. 

  • Stakeholder engagement/management 
  • Supporting the tender process 
  • Recommending forms of contract 
  • Design reviews 
  • Inspection and auditing 
  • Commissioning and testing assessments. 

Energy Efficiency Compliance  

We assist clients to navigate varied and changing regulatory environments around energy and emissions, reporting and actions. This includes conducting or implementing findings from energy efficiency audits, identifying opportunities to reduce emissions mandated under schemes, analysing policy changes that have implications on a company’s operations and to track and report energy efficiency and decarbonisation for public disclosures.
