energy applications
Energy suppliers are faced with an immediate need to provide adequate and affordable energy to support an expanding global economy, while investing in alternative energy sources to offset environmental concerns of fossil fuel consumption.
Most surveys estimate that global energy consumption will exceed 50% above today’s level by 2030, with 83% of this increase expected from hydrocarbons. This added demand from the industry calls for significant financial investments towards developing new technologies, many of which require material solutions.
Victrex has a long, successful track record of reliable performance in the energy industry, proving itself in nuclear power generation since the late 1970s and in a multitude of applications within today’s oil and gas industry.
VICTREX® PEEK™ polymers are an innovative suite of materials and compounds that help engineers deliver the next generation of technology.
Oil and Gas
Technology plays a significant role in the drive to increase production and reduce the overall cost of hydrocarbon recovery. Selection of the right materials is a key factor that can determine success or failure in meeting these challenges.
By combining the resources of the world’s premier supplier of PEEK polymers with vision, creativity and
technical innovation, Victrex helps customers overcome technical challenges with next generation solutions for
oil and gas drilling and production.

Alternative Energy
As the prices of oil and gas remain high, alternative energy sources are becoming more economically attractive. Nearly 50% of the projected increase in global energy use by the year 2030 will go towards generating electricity, while 20% will go to meeting transportation needs – almost entirely from oil and natural gas.
Energy sources such as hydropower, wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal and nuclear are well-suited for meeting these growing needs. New technological advancements within these industries focus on efficiency and reliability to deliver an economically viable, environmentally friendly and safe alternative to oil and natural gas.
VICTREX PEEK polymers offer engineers and designers a highly versatile material, replacing metal and other materials,
that help you achieve new levels of product performance, quality and systems cost savings.
