Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources has become crucial for all businesses, as we collectively work towards a zero-carbon future. 


At Beca, we provide specialised consulting services to guiding your business through this vital shift. Our approach involves designing a cost-effective roadmap toward carbon neutrality, independent of any energy or equipment supplier. As such our solutions are tailored to meet our clients’ specific targets and business needs, from initial studies all the way to implementation.

What is energy transition?

Energy transition is the global shift from fossil-based energy production and consumption to renewable, zero-carbon sources. This transformation redefines how we generate, transmit and deploy energy more efficiently and sustainably, while also driving innovation in manufacturing processes. This is particularly relevant in industries like steel, aluminium, fertiliser and cement production — the "hard to abate" sectors — we’re helping to lead the way. 


At Beca, we partner with our clients to transition from gas and coal to green fuel sources, developing cost-effective decarbonisation roadmaps that prioritise cost saving and energy efficiency. Our mission is to support you in adopting clean energy solutions and driving change and innovation across the entire energy spectrum.
