In pursuit of energy decarbonization
The shift from a fossil fuel-charged world to a future powered fully by clean, renewable sources will happen. It simply must. Safety must live in the heart of energy transition. If the way we produce, store and use energy isn’t safe, it’s not sustainable for those who work on the grid or plug in the charger.
At the same time, if the energy we use isn’t sustainable, it’s not safe for people today — or generations to come.
This is the challenge: How can energy innovators rise to the demand for sustainability without sacrificing safety or performance?
What we offer for energy transition innovators
Safer electrification is literally in our company’s DNA. It’s why we were founded in 1894 and remains a central principle in our larger mission: a safer, more secure and sustainable world.
Here’s how UL Solutions helps companies today establish and advance energy transition and eco-friendly transportation strategies while still keeping safety at the center:
