As renewables build scale, the need for reliable, non-intermittent, cost competitive, globally mobile energy sources is critical. Gas is the perfect solution. As a key bridging fuel, and it will play a central role in providing a stable, secure energy supply for a successful transition to a lower carbon world.

Two decades ago offshore wind was an early-stage conceptual technology that posed significant economic and technical challenges to the energy industry. Today, it is a proven and viable market where developers can take on projects with both technical and commercial certainty.

By 2050, a zero-carbon economy could consume somewhere between c.240Mt/year to 800 Mt+/year. Building this hydrogen economy, will require a combination of all ‘colours’ of hydrogen from blue to green to turquoise. At Kent, we cover this entire rainbow.

The world currently captures 40Mtpa of CO₂ through carbon capture and sequestration projects. Under the IEA sustainable development plan this must increase to 840Mtpa by 2030 – that’s 21 times what it is today. Kent has decades of experience in carbon capture with over 50 projects globally.

At Kent we accept the truth of today. The world will need oil and gas in the energy system for another 20-30 years. We also know the greatest change accelerators deal with the truth of today and change it, whilst also building a better tomorrow. And that’s what our decarbonisation philosophy is built around.

The world’s demand for a stable supply of energy has never been higher. But there are threats to our future global energy system when we look at intermittent renewables, evolving geopolitics and scaling of electrical mobility and devices. This is where addressing the challenges of energy storage comes in.

Through our extensive worldwide experience, we support the circular economy, through feedstock processing and conversion and in the clean-up processes and upgrading to create fuels, energy and chemical products.

Biomass such as wood, agricultural or other organic materials are increasingly important for a renewable energy future. The world needs to change the way we consume natural materials and how much waste we send to landfills. Using biomass as energy could be part of the answer
