We’ve re-imagined engineering. A market leader in low-carbon and zero-carbon energy, Aurecon provides innovative, high-value technical and advisory services in the transition to net zero. Hydrogen is one of the enablers for the global transition to net zero and Aurecon is working with public and private sector clients to develop hydrogen as a future energy or fuel technology to unlock the benefits the technology presents for a zero-carbon emissions future, with long-term benefits for industry and communities. We help clients to remain at the forefront of the transition to net zero by using design-led thinking to articulate visions, explore scenarios and map out pathways to deal with the risks and opportunities. As a leader in the future energy value chain from renewable energy generation, storage, network transmission and distribution through to end uses such as transport and export, Aurecon has the ability to connect strategy to execution and implementation. To transition to net zero, global economies will need to navigate away from how they currently operate industrially, towards a net zero model, and Aurecon is helping clients to challenge energy, process, material and mobility decisions across every industry.
