The number of companies with net zero targets hasin a 16 month period, but many are struggling to implement a plan of action to get there and effect meaningful change.
Historically, carbon dioxide emissions have been measured indirectly from utility bills, giving only a superficial understanding of how and where energy is used. Real-time measurement and automation of the data-collection process can help solve this problem. Not only can it be more accurate, but also can give insights into how operations may be wasting energy. Additionally, it is real-time, allowing for faster response times.
Think of this in the context of a familiar scenario in our everyday lives. If we’re driving to a particular destination and we choose to take a longer route that has more traffic, we end up using more fuel. This illustrates how we may choose suboptimal options due to habit or lack of awareness. In an industrial setting, improved automation and control can shine a light on these inefficiencies and lead to greater sustainability.
Automation technology that controls the charge and discharge of battery storage systems enables energy generated from wind and solar to be efficiently stored at the time of availability and then released when the power is needed most. These systems can also help reduce electricity bills by charging during periods of cleaner and cheaper energy generation and discharging during peak demand when electricity is costlier and often has higher carbon intensity.
