The Energy Industry is Changing – We Need to Be Ready

For over 100 years, the petrochemical industry has designed, fabricated, installed and operated process facilities. While plant and facility control and operation has become increasingly more automated and sophisticated, the nuts and bolts are pretty much the same as they have been. Steel and structural elements are still welded together, piping and vessels are still connected with flanges and bolts, and all that kit is still painted or coated to protect it from the environment. In short, we have a solid framework on which to build and operate the hydrocarbon energy economy.

But energy is changing. Because of the increasing threat of the consequences of a warming planet, new sources of energy are being developed that are expected to slow this planet-wide change. Some of these are well-known, such as nuclear, wind and solar, while others require more work, such as hydrogen, 3rd generation concentrated solar and fusion.
