practice. Bringing engineers together to address practical tasks is a role performed for decades by industry’s Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA), the not-for-profit, international membership body for owners and operators of fixed industrial assets. Industry turns to this body to deal with practical engineering challenges including those brought by energy transitions.


E Harnessing wind and sun


Fossil fuels still play an important role where living standards and demand for energy are rising; while renewables have become a significant and growing part of the energy mix. Tomorrow’s global energy system will be characterised by a more diverse energy mix, greater reliance on storage to meet intermittency challenges, and network structures evolving to support local generation and consumption. Worldwide, power generation from solar


grew more than 20 per cent in 2019 to rank third among renewables – after hydropower and onshore wind. Onshore and offshore wind capacity are expected to grow. In harsh, offshore environments, sound engineering design and confidence in through-life robustness for large turbines are essential. EEMUA’s 194 good practice guidance is applied to materials selection and corrosion control for subsea energy equipment, with


nergy transition is mostly driven by policy decisions and technology but can only be delivered at pace by efficiently developing and sharing relevant engineering expertise and good


EEMUA 158 for practical guidance on offshore construction specification – from materials selection and handling, to welding procedures, personnel, and construction processes. EEMUA 197 guidance is used when fabricating non-primary offshore steelwork and EEMUA 176 guidance on structural castings. These shifts in energy mix demand


changes to network infrastructure that enable electricity grids to accommodate geographically dispersed generation sources. To maintain balance and firm supply, this distributed generation and grid infrastructure must be carefully monitored and controlled – here, EEMUA 191 guidance on alarm systems management is used by industry.

Meanwhile, developing societies produce more organic waste with renewable energy potential as biogas that may grow 40 per cent in two decades. In such settings engineers’ primary source of practical guidance are: EEMUA 230 for rotating mechanical equipment; EEMUA 159 for inspection, maintenance and repair of above-ground flat bottomed storage tanks; EEMUA 183 for best practice in preventing bottom leakage from steel storage tanks; EEMUA 231 for mechanical integrity of plant containing hazardous substances; and EEMUA 186 for practitioners on potentially explosive atmospheres.
