Energy Transition

Progressing towards the new normal The global energy system is observing progressive transition, from fossil-based to zero-carbon. The energy transition can be enabled by smart technology, policy frameworks, and managing consumer expectations. Bell Energy has assessed decarbonization paths and is equipped to assist organizations and speed up the energy transition by providing the necessary technology assistance and tools. Our energy transition work is built around three segments: Oil, gas, and chemicals Power, utilities, and renewable resources Industrial products and construction Progressing companies under these segments require to embrace technologies to adapt to the new normal. The benefits cited of transitioning to lower-carbon operations are gaining: Competitive edge Reduced costs Reduced environmental impact Deploying new technologies like advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, cloud, blockchain, drones, advanced weather forecasting, and geospatial technologies will help smoothen the energy transition from disruption to growth. Many organizations are executing innovation in supply chains and changing production lines to address COVID-19 related challenges. Hence implementing these solutions can add flexibility, reliability, and resilience needed to ease operations. Many companies are reprioritizing their short-term spending to assist in the current crisis. They are moving towards solutions that are widely available and bring tangible benefits which increase […]

quantitative risk assessment

Use of Quantitative Risk Assessment in Chemical Process Industry

Chemical process facilities involve storage and processing of hazardous chemicals, that if released to atmosphere, can have adverse impact on people, assets, environment and thereby affect the reputation of a company. Quantitative Risk Assessment is a well-known technique for evaluating risks of fires, explosions and toxic exposure. this article discusses some fundamentals about QRA.
