Generating power in the age of net zero means moving away from carbon-rich fuels and replacing them with increasingly cost-competitive renewable technologies.
This transition must be handled carefully to ensure that energy security is strengthened, access to affordable energy is improved, and social and economic development is supported effectively.
To aid the switch, owners and operators must consider which existing assets and infrastructure can best be leveraged, and how.
Our global power team — 1,600 people strong — understands all aspects of thermal energy.
This technology is crucial to minimizing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels, and the continued use of carbon-rich fuels in developing and emerging markets.
We have supported countries around the world to assess different decarbonization options. Our award-winning 2050 Calculator program enables users to develop pathways to net zero, taking account of climate science, social, environmental and economic impacts, and commercial considerations.
We plan, design, and help implement projects using alternative fuels. These include the production of green hydrogen by electrolysis using renewable power.
We support clients to achieve energy efficiencies by upgrading or replacing equipment and assets, in line with planned asset management and investment cycles. We also repurpose existing assets, such as gas pipelines, which can be used to deliver hydrogen or biogas.
We combine global expertise and experience with local knowledge and delivery to identify and deliver sustainable solutions.
Redcar hydrogen community, Teesside, England. Switching from natural gas to 100% hydrogen presents a raft of capacity and network challenges, which our team are tackling in a project that could revolutionize the UK’s energy supply and cut emissions hugely.

Paul Currie, Mott MacDonald’s energy leader for Asia Pacific, New Zealand and Australia, outlines four key shifts essential to achieving Australia’s clean energy goals.
Hydrogen and carbon capture present significant opportunities to decarbonise existing and new liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities, explains Mott MacDonald hydrogen and LNG lead Jamie Paul.
2025 continues to evolve a complex geopolitical and economic landscape with shifting market focus and arguably increasing risks of supply chain disruptions affecting our US energy industry.
Mott MacDonald is providing lender’s technical and environmental support to the West Wales Hydrogen project, a production facility that will deliver 2000t of low-carbon hydrogen annually.
Mott MacDonald has been appointed as owner’s engineer for the pioneering EcoLog Terminal Amsterdam, the world’s first commercial-scale facility designed to import liquid hydrogen (LH₂) and export liquid CO₂ (LCO₂).
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s (SBCTA) Zero-Emission Multiple Unit (ZEMU) passenger rail project recently won the Center for Hydrogen Safety’s Robert Zalosh Hydrogen Safety Excellence Award in the project category.
The HyBont Green Hydrogen Project was one of the first onshore green hydrogen projects from the UK government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round One (HAR1) funding and is a potential model project for hydrogen production in the UK.
Leading a feasibility study into large scale synthetic methane production required us to pull together a huge array of knowledge from our experts around the globe.
Switching from natural gas to 100% hydrogen presents a raft of capacity and network challenges, which our team are tackling in Redcar.
Working with a consortium of transmission system operators, we’re designing a new concept for hydrogen production integrated with electrical power export to the onshore grid.
