INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

All companies in the oil and gas and electrical industries are impacted by the global drive for clean, renewable energy and a decarbonized society. Clients are keen to use hydrogen and ammonia technologies, designed to reduce carbon emissions. Changing the world’s energy infrastructure that has served society’s energy needs to the present day, to one that supports a sustainable society, will require close collaboration with all clients and stakeholders. We are also enhancing our endeavors in developing insect foods, which will grow in demand as an alternative source of protein.
