Energy Engineering and Management
Energy use efficiency and sustainability drive this area of our work.
Two questions decide most energy work: what the operation actually needs, and how much of that can be met by something cleaner than what it burns today. Answering the first properly usually shrinks the second, because demand measured honestly is often lower than demand assumed.
From there the question is sequencing. A business rarely gains by replacing its energy supply in a single step, and the systems below are selected to be introduced alongside what is already running.
Energy systems we work with
- Solar photovoltaic technology
- Synthesis gas from thermal processing of biomass, including pyrolysis and gasification
- Biogas from biomass
- Liquid biofuels, including bioethanol and biodiesel
- Waste-to-energy technology
We select energy systems that meet your demand today, while recognising that a business only sustains itself by gradually integrating alternative sources and switching to greener, low-carbon technologies. We therefore adopt a phased approach to replacing carbon-intensive sources with renewable and low-carbon ones, rather than asking clients to change everything at once.
Common questions
Do we have to replace our existing energy supply all at once?
No. We adopt a phased approach to replacing carbon-intensive sources with renewable and low-carbon ones, selecting systems that meet your demand today and integrating alternatives gradually.
Can waste from our process be used as an energy source?
Sometimes. Waste-to-energy, biogas from biomass and synthesis gas from thermal processing of biomass are all within our scope, and whether a particular stream suits any of them depends on what it is and how much of it there is. It is one of the things an initial study establishes.
Can the work be commissioned in phases?
Yes. We break an engagement into phases that fit your budget rather than presenting a single figure to accept or decline. You can commission a study, act on it, and come back for the next stage.
Do you work outside Takoradi?
Yes. We are based in Takoradi in the Western Region and work with start-ups, small and medium enterprises and established operators across Ghana.
Related services
Most engagements draw on more than one of our five themes. All of them can also be commissioned together, as an operations consulting engagement.
