At ENTRUST, our ethos of “Better Together” is ingrained in every project we undertake. As a comprehensive service provider, we go beyond mere engineering, offering our clients a diverse range of expertise. Whether it’s consulting on decarbonization, regulatory, safety or other facets, we aim to provide holistic solutions.
For instance, in conversion of service projects for hydrogen or hydrogen blending, we combine our industry-leading expertise in engineering, safety, and metallurgy to both examine existing pipeline and facility records, and address potential safety and operational concerns.
Working together, we ensure quality through effective material compatibility, operational procedures, and engineering design, including corrosion control and cathodic protection.
Our team of experts is deeply engaged with both clients and industry in the ongoing development of hydrogen as a safe and reliable energy source for the future. We actively lead chair several hydrogen committees and contribute to the creation of new guidelines, standards, and best practices.
Numerous utility clients are actively pursuing decarbonization strategies, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.
One avenue gaining traction is the development of hydrogen or hydrogen blending in natural gas to reduce the carbon intensity of delivered fuels. This burgeoning hydrogen industry has seen the emergence of numerous pilot and demonstration programs, offering decarbonization solutions.
The Department of Energy has earmarked over $7 billion for hydrogen hubs across the United States, aiming to catalyze large-scale deployment efforts. Many of ENTRUST’s utility partners are eagerly engaging with these initiatives and forthcoming projects.
These clients often collaborate with ENTRUST to systematically assess their existing operations and explore their potential evolution towards a cleaner hydrogen-centric future. Leveraging our operator mindset, ENTRUST taps into the expertise of utility professionals to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical execution.
This approach ensures that academic theories seamlessly translate into operational practices, driving towards real and measurable results in the pursuit of decarbonization goals.
At ENTRUST, our client structure is organized around distinct components: the EN Engineering sector, alongside separate divisions for electric and gas services, works closely every day with EN Consulting, EN Automation, EN Field Services and EN Renewables. The synergy between renewable power and renewable gas is essential for producing renewable hydrogen, which is why we take an interconnected approach.
Since EN Renewables has been formally established, it has been bringing together consulting and engineering within its operations. Our team collaborates closely with gas consulting and engineering groups, both in the power and gas sectors. Our power and gas teams work seamlessly together under the EnTrust umbrella to deliver a comprehensive product that meets all of our client’s needs.
Our approach is comprehensive from the initial client discussion through construction and commissioning. EN Consulting will ensure that clients can operate with hydrogen safely through developed specifications, standards and procedures for each of their operating systems. EN Automation will ensure that the hydrogen is accurately and precisely blending at the designed levels. EN Field Services will oversee construction, and provide field inspectors to ensure proper construction and welding practices are being completed per industry code.
From initial consulting assessments to the meticulous technical design phase to commission and operation, working “Better Together” ensures safety, reliability, and cost-effective renewable energy projects and programs.
In summary, many companies recognize the need to decarbonize and have set goals accordingly. Incorporating hydrogen into their decarbonization strategies is just one facet of their overall plan, but many lack detailed knowledge of its technical and safety aspects.
Our team of experts is deeply engaged in the ongoing development of hydrogen as a safe and reliable energy source for the future. We aim to educate and support clients, ensuring they grasp the intricacies of hydrogen utilization, especially with clients who may be new to the hydrogen space.
Let us work “Better Together” with you and your renewable project/program.
