Energy
Solutions: Energy Strategy and Planning
Battelle recognizes that the size and importance of energy system investments requires careful analysis. It has therefore developed a broad range of capabilities for supporting these analyses, which range from detailed analysis of individual projects to the regional and national level energy strategies.
Global capital projects support
Battelle helps clients meet multiple stakeholder expectations as new projects are planned and implemented. Understanding the environmental, safety, and social impacts of new energy projects within global, national, and local contexts is the first requirement for success. Battelle combines science- and technology-based assessments with expertise in social assessment, strategic impact assessment, and environmental management planning, to help clients optimize designs and engineering plans for new energy projects. Battelle's brings many approaches to this work including, environmental and social impact assessment, environmental baseline studies, pipeline engineering, LNG technology evaluation and assessment, and product impact modeling/monitoring.
The Global Technology Strategy Project (GTSP)
Battelle has organized a large public-private partnership for understanding the role of technology in mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. This program has produced seminal results on the role of such technologies as terrestrial sequestration and carbon dioxide capture and storage. In its current phase the GTSP is focusing on understanding the regional character of implementation of mitigation strategies and the relationship between climate policy and and other policies such as energy security and local environmental regulation.
