About Amarna Energy
An independent, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy supporting complex projects where sound engineering judgement, delivery experience and operational insight are critical to success.
Who we are
We're engineers and project professionals with deep experience delivering complex assets across the full lifecycle, from early feasibility to commissioning and operational readiness.
Our work is typically client-side. We act as independent advisors, owner's engineers or embedded delivery partners, helping clients navigate technical complexity, manage risk and make informed decisions.
Our clients work directly with our senior people. What defines Amarna isn't a single technology or sector, but the way we approach engineering: disciplined, practical and grounded in how assets are actually built and operated.
Our story
From hydrogen pioneers to a multidisciplinary consultancy

01Where we started
First-of-kind hydrogen and renewable gas
Amarna Energy was founded in 2019 with a strong focus on hydrogen and renewable gas systems, at a time when these technologies were emerging and the regulations were still being written. Our early projects were first-of-kind, where safety, compliance and operational readiness mattered from day one.

02What it taught us
Engineering for high-hazard, regulated work
That work built deep capability in high-hazard engineering, regulatory engagement, safety in design and commissioning. These skills carry straight across to any industry where the engineering has to be right.

03Where we are today
The same rigour, across many industries
Today we apply the same engineering rigour and delivery mindset across energy and power, EV and zero-emission transport, mining and minerals, industrial and process facilities, and legacy energy assets. Hydrogen and biomethane remain core strengths: proof that we're at home where projects are complex and regulated.
How we work
We fit the role to the project
We adapt to the project, the delivery model and your team's own capability, and focus where we add the most value: early decisions, delivery assurance or operational readiness.
Independent Technical Advisor
Specialist engineering input, technical assurance and support for investment, regulatory and delivery decisions.
Owner's Engineer
Acting on the client's behalf to manage design development, technical interfaces, contractors and delivery risk.
Embedded Delivery Support
Working inside client or project teams to support engineering, construction and commissioning.
Project-based or long-term
Discrete scopes of work, or ongoing support across a portfolio of projects.
Our approach
Strong engineering fundamentals, practical delivery experience and a clear understanding of how assets move from design to construction and into operation.
- 01Safety and compliance by design
- 02Early identification and management of technical risk
- 03Constructability and operability
- 04Clear interfaces between engineering, construction and operations
The result is engineering that's technically sound, buildable, operable and aligned with your long-term objectives.
Digital & AI
We use digital tools and AI-assisted workflows to make our engineering faster and more consistent, with engineers in charge of every technical decision.
Structured data analysis, automation and AI-assisted review support work such as design development, option assessment, document review, interface management and commissioning readiness. That means more of your budget goes on engineering judgement.
What sets us apart
Trusted where complexity, risk and scrutiny are high
We are
- Senior engineers embedded in your team, accountable to your outcomes
- The firm you call when you need real technical depth, not a slide deck
- Independent advisors with no conflicting interests
- Proven in first-of-kind and complex regulated environments
- Serious about what we do, not so serious about ourselves
We're not
- A 200-person megaproject PMO. If that's what you need, we'll tell you
- A general consultancy with a thin veneer of technical capability
- A firm that sends junior staff after seniors win the bid
- Tied to any equipment supplier or construction contractor
- The kind of firm that hides behind jargon, process or layers of overhead
