Access mats are a portable platform that can be placed on the earth to support drilling rigs, camps, helipads, and even tanks. It can also be helpful to provide a roadway over unstable ground and pipelines. Access mats not only help to minimize soil disturbance but also reduce the compaction of soil , the chance of rutting and risk for erosion. They can also be known as environmental mats because they provide considerable benefits in reducing the carbon footprint caused by the industrial industr

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

These account for 85 percent of Shell’s carbon footprint and mean more substantive changes to the business will be required.
