ENERGY TRANSITION FOR THE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY

New energy: engineering for the energy transition

Delivering world-changing engineering solutions to meet the needs of the energy and process industries of the future.

Overview

We are here to support the safe, efficient and reliable operation of
new energy solutions for a cleaner, more resilient world.

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the urgent need to decarbonise, improve efficiency and ensure energy security. As industries pivot toward cleaner and more sustainable new energy solutions, the role of flow control technologies is becoming increasingly critical.

Rotating machinery, such as compressors, pumps and turbines, is foundational to traditional energy infrastructure. It’s also central to enabling the transition to low-carbon alternatives, such as hydrogen, carbon capture, sustainable fuels or energy storage.

SOLUTIONS

Explore our new energy solutions

Carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS)

CCUS solutions are a pathway for significantly reducing emissions in energy-intensive sectors. By retrofitting existing assets with carbon capture technologies, operators can make tangible progress toward their decarbonisation targets.

Our CCUS solutions

Hydrogen (H2)

Solidifying our industry’s sustainable future requires advancing low-carbon hydrogen fuel solutions. We’re here to support this challenge, enabling green and blue hydrogen operations worldwide.
