Business sectors

ENERGY

Energy consumption is increasing worldwide although the growth is emphasized in the developing markets where the level of industrialization is increasing. Demand especially for alternative and carbon dioxide neutral energy and fuel sources is increasing. This is driven by the rising cost of energy in all forms and pressure to prevent global warming as well as changing regulation. Biomass is increasingly being used as fuel in power plants, district heating plants and as a source of green transport fuels and chemicals. Demand is increasing for more environmentally friendly solutions for coal, which relates to questions surrounding carbon capture.

The world needs more energy, which calls for sustainable solutions through improved efficiency and renewable energy solutions. These are huge challenges, where new technologies are playing a vital role. Pöyry has taken the lead in providing services for waste-to-energy and has decades of experience delivering a wide range of energy-related solutions that meet the demands set by balanced sustainability

INDUSTRY

Industrialization has been a main creator of wealth and lifestyle improvement. It will continue to be a major area of growth, but it will need to adapt to new sustainability requirements. Technological development will be instrumental in solving many of the challenges our planet is facing. Problem solving, a key aspect of professional engineering, requires holistic thinking. This means that all optimisation and improvement processes need to be considered on a life cycle basis. Process industries, especially pulp& paper, mining and chemicals, make the core of the industry vertical for Pöyry.

By being at the forefront of this development, Pöyry can apply the best available technology to the processes we design. The outcome for our clients is state-of-the-art plants with high efficiency, top-end safety standards and minimum emissions.

TRANSPORTATION

The world economy is putting pressure on all countries worldwide to upgrade transportation infrastructure, logistics and supply chains. Cities are facing new challenges caused rapid urbanization. Transport is fundamental to modern economy and society. It has a major impact on people’s quality of life and companies’ ability to compete in the global market.

Pöyry has expert understanding of how to design transportation systems so that they best work within the framework of tomorrow's urban societies.

WATER

Water is one of the most critical issues facing the world and one that directly impacts health, food and livelihood. The availability of clean water is becoming more urgent. The increase in water-related incidences resulting from global climate changes requires adapted water supplies and effective flood control systems. Industrialised countries face aging water networks and the need to upgrade and improve wastewater treatment processes. Meanwhile, many developing countries are challenged by the necessity to implement entire systems that are sustainable and financially feasible.

ENVIRONMENT

Tightening environmental legislation increases demand for various consulting and engineering services within water and environment and Pöyry’s vast experience forms a solid basis for tackling these challenges.

While each sector has its own characteristics we have also identified increasing knowledge convergence between them. For clients this means innovative solutions to enhanced energy, water, material and supply chain efficiency in order to improve the economic return of their capital investments.

REAL ESTATE

There is an increasing need for solutions driven by population growth and urbanisation in areas such as urban development, real estate development, construction management and building design.  Increasing urbanisation is reflected in the high demand for urban design that accounts for ecological aspects, such as green buildings that cost less to operate and have excellent energy performance.

Pöyry has the urban and spatial planning capabilities to help clients create new environments. We can offer construction project management, design and engineering, as well as consulting services for all project phases.
