Energy & Fuels

Powering the energy transition with smart, sustainable engineering

Decarbonising energy systems is a cornerstone of the global net-zero transformation. To achieve climate targets, industries must shift away from conventional energy sources and adopt clean, efficient alternatives—without compromising performance, safety, or resilience.

From hydrogen to e-fuels, electrification to carbon capture, the challenge is complex and highly technical. It calls for in-depth engineering expertise and system-wide thinking to design, validate and implement energy solutions that meet tomorrow’s demands.

Why Airbus Protect?

At Airbus Protect, we help our clients navigate the energy transition by providing expert support across the entire energy and fuel value chain—from R&D and design to operations and infrastructure development.

We combine strong domain knowledge in industrial and aeronautical systems with cutting-edge insights into new fuels, electrification, and decarbonisation technologies. Whether you’re designing future programmes, scaling low-carbon infrastructure, or exploring hydrogen integration, our teams ensure your projects are future-proof and regulation-ready.

With us, the energy transition becomes a catalyst for innovation, not a barrier.

Beyond the alert: Engineering true resilience through a unified, AI-enhanced SOC

Navigating the modern threat landscape is an ongoing challenge for UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and Government organisations. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and regulations tighten, the limitations of traditional, isolated "black box" monitoring become more apparent. When a complex incident occurs, a flood of automated notifications is rarely enough to ensure continuity; teams [...]

Climate Resilience: Adaptation is Key for Power Systems

Climate resilience is crucial for any business. As the backbone of the modern economy, the energy sector is uniquely exposed to the impacts generated by extreme weather events resulting from climate change with cascading effect on other industrial sectors, which can directly impact operations, cause damage to property, disrupt supply chains, affect workforce availability and [...]

Performing Linux Dead Disk Forensic Analysis with Velociraptor

What is Velociraptor? Velociraptor is an open source digital forensic and incident response tool that supports several deployment models depending on the investigation scenario. While the most common approach is the client-server model, where agents are deployed on endpoints and communicate with a central server, Velociraptor can also operate through offline collectors or virtual clients [...]
