The energy world is at a turning point, and two companies—Fluor Corporation and Pacifico Energy—are making waves in their own unique ways. Fluor, a century-old titan in petroleum refining, is charging into alternative energy with bold projects in hydrogen, carbon capture, and nuclear. Meanwhile, Pacifico Energy, a rising star in renewables, is redefining how businesses access clean power through its “energy as a service” model and massive solar and storage projects. Together, their stories show how legacy expertise and fresh innovation are shaping a sustainable future. Let’s dive into their journeys.
Fluor’s Legacy: From Refineries to Green Revolution
For over 100 years, Fluor Corporation has been the backbone of the energy industry, building refineries that power the globe. Their work on fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units has squeezed more fuel from every barrel of oil, while their ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) projects in the 2000s cut emissions to meet regulations like the Clean Air Act. It’s classic Fluor: big, complex projects executed with precision.
But Fluor’s not stuck in the fossil fuel era. With renewables set to dominate 70% of global power by 2050, per the International Energy Agency, Fluor’s Energy Solutions business is leading the charge into alternative energy. Here’s what they’re up to:
