Engineering design assumptions shapes the future of renewable energy projects. The simplicity and accuracy of the assumptions are two opposite faces of the same coin. The art of merging the unkowns while reducing the constructability risks of the design builds the value of the project. Investing in design engineering shapes the future of any organization. A point for discussion!

Do you know how much concrete and steel goes into the built world?

Renewable energy is what we're thinking and engineering

Have you seen our recent feature in Energy Engineering Magazine? In it we share our thoughts on the future of cities, and engineering's role in reshaping infrastructure to achieve net zero. You'll find it on pages 14-15. #FutureCities #RenewableEnergy #SmartGrid #Engineering

𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 Uniper has awarded Aker Carbon Capture a Process Design Package (PDP) to deliver design studies for our proposed Grain Carbon Capture project at our Grain power station in the Southeast of England, on the Isle of Grain, in Kent. The project is a proposal to retrofit post combustion carbon capture technology on up to all three of the existing Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) units at the power plant. The PDP delivery process, will allow #Uniper to evaluate Aker Carbon Capture’s technology for one of the three gas turbines. At the end of the PDP process, a technology licensor will be selected to move to the front end engineering and design phase ahead of a final investment decision, which is expected to be taken by Uniper in the mid-2020s. Roger Brandwood, Project Manager for Uniper’s Grain Carbon Capture project, said: “The award of the first PDP contract to Aker Carbon Capture signifies a key milestone in the development of our plans to decarbonize electricity production at our Grain power station. The Grain Carbon Capture project will contribute towards Uniper’s ambitious strategy to make our European power generation 80% carbon-neutral by 2030. Additionally, it could also help to support the UK’s transition to a decarbonized electricity system by potentially removing over two million tonnes of CO₂ per year whilst continuing to provide flexible and reliable power to the national grid. We look forward to working with Aker Carbon Capture during this first phase of the design competition, to identify the most effective technology solutions to help deliver Uniper’s and the UK’s #decarbonization strategies.” 🤝 #TheBeatingHeartOfEnergy #EnergyEvolutionStartsWithU #SecurityOfSupply
