Here at OSL, we understand the growing demand for clean, safe energy and addressing the issues of climate change by reducing greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. Taking serious action now to cut greenhouse gas emissions is the way to avoid worsening floods and droughts, rising food prices and economic instability across the globe.
Renewable energy generation can be delivered at all scales, from massive offshore wind-farms to small scale micro-generation at homes and workplaces. Energy generation will become more decentralised, and 'smart grids' will be required to ensure integrated and efficient generation and use of energy. To make the transition to low carbon as quickly as possible, OSL can assist their client’s need to improve the efficiency of their use of fossil fuels, especially through more widespread use of high efficiency combined heat and power (CHP).
Also, the development of carbon capture and storage to reduce emissions of harmful gases from existing fossil driven power plants
