Realize a more sustainable and resilient future through decarbonization and electrification
The shift from a fossil fuel-charged world to one powered fully by clean, renewable sources is essential for building a more resilient future.
That requires a commitment to decarbonization, across all sectors, from energy storage and power grid upgrades to the built environment and transportation — without sacrificing safety or security.
We help energy innovators accelerate electrification and maintain the balance between safety, security, performance and sustainability through testing services, analytics, software and advisory support from energy experts.
