Trusted delivery partner. Whether we are assessing project feasibility, integrating technologies, designing low-carbon facilities, or implementing sustainable execution practices, Fluor collaborates with clients, licensors, suppliers, and communities to deliver value to all stakeholders.
Fluor’s role in the energy transition is to safely and sustainably design, build, and maintain projects that create a better world. We bring our passion for innovation and unrivaled experience and expertise to help our clients navigate their decarbonization and sustainability journeys. We help deliver value to projects – from feasibility studies and conceptual design through to construction and commissioning — in five distinct ways: Thought leadership. The potential pathways to carbon neutrality are rapidly evolving. Fluor is at the forefront of research and development, guiding, and enabling emerging technologies through commercialization and continuously 42 SASKATCHEWAN energy REPORT 2022
improving our own proprietary technologies. For example, our carbon capture technologies, Econamine FG PlusSM and Fluor SolventSM, have been employed for more than 30 years in facilities around the world and are today being implemented across industries to reduce greenhouse gases. Fluor has also strategically invested in technologies such as NuScale’s small modular reactor (SMR), which became the first and only SMR design to receive U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission design approval in August 2020. Our dynamic experts help accelerate carbon-neutral solution developments through involvement in global and regional industry groups such as the Carbon to Value Initiative and Energy Futures Lab.
Our project delivery model emphasizes building and maintaining progressive, transparent relationships based on mutual respect and trust with Indigenous communities. This model is bringing benefits to Indigenous communities engaged with the LNG Canada project in Kitimat, British Columbia. On this project, Fluor and our joint venture partner JGC have employed more than 650 local residents (more than 300 of whom self-identify as Indigenous), have spent $1.5 billion on contracts and procured $98 million in goods from Indigenous businesses. Leading technology integrator. Many energy transition projects entail highly integrated, complex systems. As an EPC company, Fluor views a client’s challenge through the lens of a technology owner and a constructor. This vantage point allows us to understand both the big picture and the details of each project. For example,
