Session
Whether decarbonization efforts are focused on energy and emissions reductions, renewable fuels production, carbon capture, or a shift towards petrochemical production, digital technologies are an important part of the journey towards a more sustainable future. The digital ecosystem starts at the foundational level with smart instruments, valves, and analyzers, moves up to monitoring common assets with a wireless infrastructure, and continues to analyze and optimize the performance and efficiency of process units and more complex assets to identify operational problems before they occur. Real-time monitoring of carbon and energy intensity can only result in tangible and quantifiable improvements. This presentation will discuss several examples of the value of digital technologies for various decarbonization paths.
