Helping communities transition to greener, cleaner energy sources

The energy transition is a global phenomenon. It’s the simultaneous rapid evolution of multiple markets at a pace not seen since the Industrial Revolution over 200 years ago. It’s changing how energy and resources are developed and consumed across markets. The energy transition is transforming the nature of what infrastructure can do, mitigating our environmental impact, and unlocking potential for a cleaner, more sustainable way of life.

This means energy optimization, increased electrification, a focus on renewable energy generation and energy storage, distributed energy resources, capturing carbon and investing in alternative fuel development.

An important way that we’re advancing the energy transition globally is by helping our clients combat global climate change and achieve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. We’re working together to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and striving towards a more sustainable energy future.

Only by addressing climate change today can we create the resilient and sustainable communities of tomorrow.

Small modular reactors: Driving energy security with nuclear power

As we transition to cleaner energy, specialists worldwide are tackling key challenges like reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining reliable power. Renewable energy systems like wind and solar are cleaner than traditional fossil fuels, but intermittent. Small modular reactors (SMRs) offer a solution by providing consistent, emission-free power. In Canada, Ontario and Saskatchewan are adopting SMRs. Alberta is exploring SMRs after recent energy grid challenges. SMRs can provide reliable, clean energy for the future. Read More

How can we capture and remove carbon from our atmosphere?

Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal accounted for an estimated 81% of global total energy consumption in 2022, and forecasts suggest we will only reduce that number to 78% by 2032. If we can generate power from renewable energy sources, we can significantly reduce the carbon emissions being released into our atmosphere. But what about the carbon that is already there? And what about the time that it will take to reduce the use of fossil fuels? By capturing carbon, we can reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Read More

Decarbonization is essential for tackling climate change

The building industry accounts for 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonization is essential to mitigate these emissions and curb global temperature rise. We can support renewable energy adoption by enhancing energy efficiency and implementing sustainable building practices. Technology and digitization enable smart energy management, optimize resource use, and facilitate the integration of innovative, eco-friendly solutions. Read More
