We’ve been here before H2
It’s 1800 The industrial revolution and the use of coal is a profound energy transition for the world. It's dragging millions of people out of poverty, and improving health, education and quality of life.
It’s the 2020s Another energy transition is underway. This one is driven by urgent action to address climate change and the development of cheaper, low emissions technologies. Like before, this is a profound change in how humanity develops, uses and benefits from energy. Unlike before, it’s larger in scale and complexity.
It’s unstoppable. Even a global pandemic cannot alter this course. If anything, it has accelerated during COVID-19. Millions of people still don’t have access to energy, but this transition will help us address the problem in a truly sustainable way. There is a lot to do and the challenges are immense. This is how we see our role.

The pressure is on The risks from a changing energy landscape are real. Energy-intensive businesses face growing scrutiny from various groups, each with their own motives. Sometimes it’s simple
Sometimes it isn’t
Sometimes there’s no choice
New frontiers
In power, lower emissions are a clear goal. The switch to gas, renewed interest in nuclear power and investment in renewable energy can get us there.
Chemicals and heavy industries are more complex. Cement manufacturing, steel and smelting as well as chemical-based industries such as petrochemicals, ammonia and ethylene make up nearly 20 per cent of combined global emissions, and they have no clear pathway to decarbonization.
Mining is energy-intensive and generates high carbon emissions. Investment horizons are short, and change has been slow.
The options are growing. We’re helping build and operate the world’s largest offshore wind farms, hydropower and solar installations.
We must find more sustainable ways to achieve the same results with technologies such as green hydrogen.
But megatrends such as social value, climate change and digitalization are changing the industry. Miners are shifting the way they consume and supply the critical resources needed to power the energy transition.
We’re turning waste into an energy source. We’re using renewable power to electrify the world and energy storage systems to ensure power resilience. Biomass and biofuels are at our disposal, while low emissions hydrogen is emerging as a glue to bind this new frontier together.
Technologies such as energy storage, carbon capture, digital analytics, distributed energy systems, renewables and new flexible retail models are all at our disposal.

Carbon capture and storage
The facility, located in the U.S. Permian Basin, is the first commercial scale deployment of Carbon Engineering’s DAC technology, which captures carbon dioxide directly out of the atmosphere. The FEED phase will focus on the first train, DAC 1, which will capture 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually.
We are providing design, procurement and delivery services for the implementation of a battery energy storage system and small solar PV development at a confidential customer’s LNG facility in Queensland. The batteries will integrate renewable energy input into the plant, and will also provide spinning reserve coverage to the existing gas turbines which provide power to the entire islanded facility.
We recently completed the safe start-up of Chevron Australia’s Gorgon CO2 injection facility on Barrow Island, Western Australia.
Refinery conversion to renewable fuels
World's largest green hydrogen production facility
Liquid Wind’s first eMethanol facility
We are working on the front-end engineering services to convert Phillips 66’s San Francisco refinery in Rodeo, California, USA into a renewable fuels facility. The project will reconfigure the refinery and produce up to 650 million gallons per year of renewable transportation fuels from used cooking oils, fats, greases and vegetable oils. Once built, the renewable fuels facility is expected to be one of the world’s largest facilities of its kind. We also completed the Pre-FEED and Advisian, our consulting business, carried out the project’s feasibility study.
We've been awarded an early engineering services contract by Shell to support the development of a 200 megawatt electrolysis-based hydrogen plant. Once complete, the project will be one of the largest commercial green hydrogen production facilities in the world.
We are working on the front-end engineering design for Liquid Wind's first commercial scale eMethanol facility. We will also provide the project’s cost estimate. The facility, which will be in Örnsköldsvik, northern Sweden, is expected to produce 50,000 tonnes of renewable methanol every year. The feedstock for the facility will use biogenic carbon dioxide from a biomass-fired power plant and combine it with green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity and water, to produce eMethanol.
London Array offshore wind farm
Negative emissions through BECCS
Green hydrogen to ammonia
We were awarded a contract by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) for statutory inspections and general maintenance of wind‐turbine‐generator cranes and lifts across all turbines on the London Array offshore wind farm.
We are providing the early front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) for the first two carbon capture units at Drax Group’s power station in North Yorkshire, UK. Each unit is expected to capture approximately 4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. The carbon capture units will incorporate the negative emissions process scheme, Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). This project could result in the power station becoming carbon-negative and contribute to Humber’s ambition to become the UK’s first zero-carbon industrial cluster.
We have been working with ammonium nitrate manufacturer, Queensland Nitrates Pty Ltd (QNP), to determine the feasibility of producing green hydrogen at commercial scale. Partly funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), this study has been undertaken in conjunction with Neoen, which will supply electricity from large wind and solar generation.
When complete, the facility will be capable of extracting one million metric tons of atmospheric CO2 annually. It will also help to accelerate the deployment of commercial-scale direct air capture technology, which is critical to helping companies around the world meet their ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets.
The wind farm consists of 175 turbines installed in over 20 kilometres off the Kent coast in the United Kingdom. Generating 630 MW, the London Array offshore wind farm produces enough energy to power approximately 470,000 homes, displacing approximately 900,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

The energy transition
A first-of-its-kind project on this scale, the facility will be located in the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Operations are scheduled to start by 2023 and will produce around 50,000–60,000 kg of hydrogen per day.
Each year, around four million tonnes of reservoir CO2 will be injected into the Dupuy Formation beneath Barrow Island. The Gorgon CO2 facilities are expected to inject 100 million tonnes of CO2 over the life of the Gorgon project – reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the Gorgon LNG facility by approximately 40%.
This project is one of a suite aimed at commercializing new green hydrogen based products, as steps toward decarbonizing some of most challenging, emissionsintensive industries.

The issues, impacts and Worley’s response 13
Leaving our legacy We stand at the brink of sweeping changes in our lives. From the way we cook our breakfast, to the transport we depend on to commute, to the way we work – everything is changing.
We’ve played here before
The goalposts have moved
We’re all on the field
The modern world has a growing appetite for energy, but we’ve always found ways to do more with less and given opportunities to millions.
Living standards must improve for those without access to reliable energy, but the environment can’t pay the price.
No company in the energy, chemicals and resources sectors can afford to spectate. Greenhouse gas emissions come from various sources, but they all matter to humanity. This is the defining issue of our time. We’re making the energy transition our legacy.
