Oil, Gas & Energy

The oil, gas and energy sector plays a crucial role in global economic and social development and will continue to do in the future. However, fossil fuels are also majorly responsible for harming the ecosystem and consequently, are under tight control.

Hydrocarbon exploration companies and downstream processing plants for coke and refined petroleum products are pressured to find alternatives to their production methods. For instance, finding new sources of raw materials and reducing the environmental impact of their operations. Organisations involved in the mining and processing of various metals, gold, coal, lignite and iron also face censure by regulatory agencies and NGOs. The reproach is due to concern with the occupational safety of workers in these sectors.

All operations involved in the extraction and processing of oil, gas and energy are typically very energy-intensive and produce large amounts of toxic waste. The industry must minimise the environmental consequences and demonstrate efforts to ecological safety and sustainability to remain competitive.

Renewable energy technologies will be crucial to industry development in years to come. Apart from the mandatory safety and health certifications, SIRIM QAS International offers a range of eco-friendly voluntary certifications targeted to improve the green processes in your business.
