Late-life asset management introduces a different set of challenges — where decisions must balance long-term optimisation with the realities of remaining asset value. As onshore oil & gas facilities approach end-of-field life, something interesting happens. The economics change. But the...
As Australia transitions toward a low-carbon electricity system, the role of long-duration energy storage becomes increasingly critical. While conventional batteries capture attention for their speed and modularity, Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) remains the country’s most proven and scalable large-scale...
Hydrogen is emerging as a versatile, long-duration energy storage solution and a clean fuel with the potential to play a key role in Australia’s net-zero energy future. While it is not yet a mainstream storage option on the grid, pilot...
As Australia accelerates its shift to renewable energy, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical enabler of grid reliability, flexibility, and responsiveness. From stabilising frequency to shifting solar output into the evening peak, batteries are fast becoming...
Australia’s electricity grid is at the centre of one of the most significant transitions in its history. As fossil fuel plants retire and demand for electricity rises, the grid must evolve rapidly—not just to replace old infrastructure, but to support...
As environmental challenges grow and the global momentum for sustainability accelerates, the energy sector stands at a crossroads. The shift towards electrification, energy storage, gas transition, and sustainable mining isn’t just a trend—it’s the new reality shaping the future of...
The global pursuit of a sustainable energy future is intertwined with the broader ‘energy trilemma’ – a triad of challenges comprising energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability. A blanket transition to renewable energy might appear to be the intuitive answer...
Risk-based process safety (RBPS) is a framework that is used to manage and control risks associated with the operation of complex physical assets. It aims to prevent significant negative consequences resulting from asset failures. RBPS involves identifying and prioritising risks,...
