Approach

Energy Transition

The energy transition is one of the biggest, most complex shifts in human history, and we're forging a path toward a cleaner energy future.

A Cleaner Energy Future

Bechtel is working with customers to develop and deploy the myriad resources, fuels, technologies, and infrastructure needed to allow the world to adopt less carbon-intense ways of producing, distributing, and using energy.

The energy transition is one of the biggest, most complex shifts in human history. There’s a reason it’s called a transition: The path to a cleaner energy future will take intermediate technologies and time, over which we must continue to balance the world’s growing energy needs with decarbonization. Bechtel is helping individual customers explore, design, and implement pragmatic approaches that advance their specific energy transition goals.

Leading Across Industries

Our people are actively supporting virtually every facet of this ongoing energy transition.

Critical Minerals

We’re helping to unearth critical minerals and metals like aluminum, copper, and lithium, while also decarbonizing the operations that refine and process them.

Battery Production

We’re supporting increased production of batteries, from those that power EVs to those that are providing utility-scale energy storage on the electric grid.

Clean Transportation

We’re facilitating clean transportation, from building electric vehicle charging infrastructure to state-of-the-art mass transit systems.

Power Solutions Enabling AI

We’re working with technology customers on power solutions to enable AI and the next era of progress.

Low Carbon Energy

We’re building the assets to produce and generate low- and no-carbon energy, from LNG to solar, wind, hydro, and next-generation nuclear, as well as emerging alternatives.

Battery Recycling

We’re recycling battery materials safely and sustainably, particularly first- and second-generation materials.

Sustainable Fuels

We’re supporting development of advanced, sustainable fuels for aviation, marine shipping, and other hard-to-abate end uses.

Carbon Capture and Storage

We’re reducing and removing carbon emissions from industrial operations through efficiencies and carbon capture and storage.
