Renewables - Making Sustainable Energy Production safer, more secure and more efficient

Johnson Controls is supporting the global energy transition by leveraging our extensive experience in Oil & Gas into the growing renewables energy industries. We bring our world-leading expertise to bear on new challenges, supporting a wide variety of projects on behalf of clients globally. 

We can work with operators, engineering procurement contractors and manufacturers to assess, design and deliver bespoke solutions for renewable and sustainable energy production covering Fire & Gas Safety Systems, Protective Equipment, Maintenance Services, Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning, as well as Public Address & General Alarms, and much more. 

Together we can grow a sustainable future, protect the environment and provide stability of energy supply.

Offshore Wind

Johnson Controls has a proven performance history within the Offshore Oil and Gas Market as well as the emerging Offshore Wind Industry, supporting a wide variety of projects on behalf of clients globally. 

We can work with operators, engineering procurement contractors and Turbine Manufacturers to assess, design and deliver bespoke fire and gas solutions with products and support that can include the following for Wind Turbines, HVAC Substations and HVDC Converter Stations:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)

Green Hydrogen

With the expansion of renewable technologies and variation in demand, green hydrogen production is increasingly becoming not only a way to decarbonise the transportation and domestic markets, but also a way to maximise renewable energy generation by providing alternative revenue streams during low demand periods. 

Green Hydrogen is produced from water using electrolysis powered by the renewable energy generated by Offshore Wind. Johnson Controls will work with our customers to provide fire safety systems to allow for the addition of this flammable gas into the offshore turbine or substation areas, drawing on our many years of experience in the oil and gas sector. This support can include:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Metering (Hydrogen)

Blue Hydrogen and CCS

Blue hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced using standard natural gas, with the CO2 emissions generated during the process captured and stored using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology.

CCS plants use industrial processes to remove carbon from the natural gas, leaving the hydrogen for shipping to consumers. The removed carbon is captured and sent for storage in adapted gas reservoirs. Johnson Controls can support this process through the provision of Fire, Gas, Metering and Personnel safety provisions including:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)
  • Metering (Hydrogen and CO2)

Alternative Fuel Production

Alternative Fuels generated from waste and by-products of industrial processes require the same care and support as traditional Oil and Gas installations. These alternatives can include:

  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
  • Bioethanol
  • Biodiesel
  • Biogas
  • Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)

This is where Johnson Controls can come in, working to protect your assets, provide accurate measurement and provide safe and comfortable environments for your personnel through:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)
  • Metering

Biomass

Biomass energy is energy generated or produced by living or once-living organisms. Biomass feedstocks include dedicated energy crops, agricultural crop residues, forestry residues, algae, wood processing residues, municipal waste, and wet waste (food waste).

While burning Biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO2), it is considerably less than fossil fuels and if based on plant material we consider biomass a renewable energy source if plants replenished. In any industrial process there is the danger of Fire, the need to have safety systems in place and the requirement to have a comfortable and healthy working environment for personnel. Johnson Controls can assist with this by providing the following support:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)

Battery Storage

As energy supplies transition to carbon free sources the need to store energy from intermittent producers for use at the correct time grows.  Fixed Energy Storage Systems are becoming more prevalent as a means to balance out grid supply from renewable sources, evening out the peaks and troughs of supply and demand. Johnson Controls can support our customers by providing systems to protect assets and personnel from fire damage, while ensuring security and the comfort of any site personnel. Products and Services include:

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)
  • Security / CCTV

There are various technologies which Johnson Controls can support with traditional detection and deluge systems. For increasingly popular Lithium Ion Systems there are additional considerations and solutions we can apply. Ask us about our Lithium Ion Risk Prevention System with Inert Gas Suppression to prevent Thermal Runaway.

Hydro Electric

Hydroelectricity is the worlds most mature industrial scale renewable technology and has been used around the world since 1882. Fire can be a serious danger in hydro plants as they share many of the same fire hazards as fossil-fuel plants, including oil-filled transformers, electrical cables and switchgear, air-cooled generators, and large quantities of combustible hydraulic oil. The difference from thermal power plants is that hydro plants are typically underground/underwater and windowless increasing the potential of trapping workers.

Johnson Controls can support our customers through the following:  

  • Fire & Gas Detection and Control
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Portable Equipment and Services
  • Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Public Address / General Alarm (PA/GA)
