The demand for power generation is increasing rapidly because of electrification, data centers and population growth. The way it’s generated is also evolving, with renewable energy taking center stage in the power market.
Hanson is an experienced partner with a strong understanding of traditional generation and emerging power generation trends, such as offshore wind, hydrogen fuel cells, carbon capture and storage, perovskite solar, biomass gasification, tidal and wave energy and geothermal enhanced systems. Our team also provides services such as burner-tip inspections and foundation design permitting and geotechnical engineering associated with on-site facilities. We can help you offer the most sustainable, cost-efficient technology to your customers.
We support our utility clients in the management of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts from power-generating facilities. Our experience includes:
Our team also specializes in environmental and hydrogeologic impact studies and closure plans, as well as implementation and long-term monitoring. We can help you overcome challenges related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Final Rule” regulating utility-generated CCR and offer waste management services to a variety of clients in the communications, industrial, utility, petroleum and government sectors.
The time to embrace innovation is now. The reward is more resilient, efficient and sustainable power generation for our communities. Let us help you incorporate emerging technologies for a bright future.
