Decarbonisation Road mapping

Brief description of services

Our decarbonisation road mapping service enables you to translate decarbonisation goals to actionable turn-around projects for your plant.

Our approach focusses on maintaining current operational performance, while covering aspects outside the standard techno-economic assessment, such as space-constraints, permitting, safety aspects and grid connections.

We check the robustness of our solutions by looking further ahead using scenarios to handle uncertainties about the future, such as energy prices, to come to the most futureproof option.

In this way we empower you to plot a de-risked course to a decarbonised future.

Key features

  • Focus on maintaining current operational performance, covering aspects outside the standard techno-economic assessment, such as space-constraints, permitting, safety aspects and grid connections
  • Using scenarios to grasp uncertainties about future developments, to select the most futureproof options
  • Core focus on site-specific constraints and key requirements, through a central role for on-site staff in the roadmapping process

Applicable customer segments

  • Plant directors
  • Plant managers
  • Sustainability managers
  • Industrial asset owners (of industrial parks)

Business example

  • We currently work in food industry on reduction of energy use by improving control based on rigorous data analysis. After this phase we plan to continue with heat integration. Overall energy reduction is expected to be over 25%.
  • Comparison of Electrode boiler, H2-boiler and gasfired boiler with CCS as decarbonisation options on basic /detailed engineering level of steam utilities in heavy industry. In this way we identified the most suitable option  for a specific site and providided an implementation roadmap to achieve net-zero over several turn-arounds.

Key benefits

  • Secure a position as futureproof industry, through transitioning to net-zero production
  • De-risking implementation of solutions through holistic approach putting plant operations and the cluster at its core.
  • Traceable process for transparent investment decision-making process, and flexibility to adapt.
  • Clarity on what is and isn’t possible on a fundament level, to cut through complexity of the transition.
