Facing unprecedented demands to deliver wholesale decarbonisation of energy, the gas, LNG, hydrogen, and energy industry is increasingly turning to advanced digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data and robotics to future proof businesses and ensure they thrive in the drive to net-zero energy.
At Gastech 2021, industry professionals have been examining how the latest advances in digital technology can enhance daily business operations and provide the tools to deliver cleaner, affordable energy, while balancing shareholder expectations with decarbonisation targets.
Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and CEO of energy technology company, Baker Hughes, spoke during a Gastech LIVE Session yesterday on delivering on the decarbonisation of energy and how technology innovation can drive the net-zero agenda. Simonelli said, “To achieve our net-zero ambitions, we must deliver on our promise to decarbonise energy. Technologies exist today to increase efficiencies, reduce emissions, and capture carbon, as well as spur the hydrogen economy and adoption of new energies. As an industry, we must continue to collaborate and incentivise solutions prioritising emissions reduction over fuel sources, to ensure we can continue to lead in the energy transition.”
