Industries often take energy for granted. Operators flip a switch, or fill a tank, and everything runs as expected. Recent global events prove the harsh reality: energy prices and availability can…

So besides the electric grids, we also need to look at pipelines and tank terminals for the green molecules, because this infrastructure was designed for fossil fuels, which will be there for quite some time.

But now we add new carriers and we need to adapt our infrastructure and add new infrastructure.

for the new molecules like hydrogen, like ammonia or synthetic fuels, and even for CO2.

This is where the energy transition truly reshapes our midstream and downstream infrastructure.

That requires different pipeline materials and compression technologies due to its unique properties.

These are becoming increasingly complex as they need to manage a broader range of products now, from biodiesel, biofuels, blended fuels with varying specifications, and even temperature-controlled products like ammonia.

This fuel diversity adds significantly to the complexity of the storage and its handling, blending, and traceability.

We are talking about a massive undertaking to repurpose and build infrastructure to support these alternative fuels.
That means we need to change a lot of our existing infrastructure to manage the energy transition.

also a molecule that needs to depend on that infrastructure because we need to get rid of it in some way.

There are industries that need to rely on carbon capture to reduce their carbon footprint.
