The Energy Transition, at the pace and scale required, is no simple matter. It will take innovation, collaboration, and cooperation at an unprecedented level. It will require physical changes in how we generate, transport, and consume energy. It will mobilize capital and investments in nascent energy sources and assets. It will affect how we think about land use and the importance of energy density. It will change how companies, including competitors, work together to achieve the progress required.

This paper introduces the role of CCUS as a solution for hard-to-abate emissions. Dominant carbon capture technologies are introduced along with new solutions, as well as some hints for large-scale CCS rollout.

Hydrogen is a valuable resource that can help companies achieve carbon reduction and reduce energy costs. Digitalization will be a major accelerator for driving down the cost of hydrogen and evaluating and optimizing alternatives. Download this whitepaper to learn how technology is an essential component in delivering the hydrogen economy.

EPCs and Owner Operators understand that early decisions can have long-lasting impact on project success. What’s needed is a comprehensive solution that is supported by digital tools, enables seamless data sharing across parties and provides early and accurate insights into project cost, layout, emissions, and energy use data. Download this executive brief to learn how your design projects can benefit from a single solution environment for conceptual design, plant layout, estimating and data management.

Intense global competition, explosive market dynamics, and the industry’s energy transformation are all creating a level of business strain not seen in decades. Industry leaders must build a higher level of digital enterprise competence to become the best in the energy and utility industry.

A new hydrocarbon industry is developing to supply green (renewable) diesel, identical to conventional diesel, but using no fossil fuel feedstocks. To achieve the maximum carbon intensity reduction, these types of plants must operate with the highest possible efficiency, which requires the use of digital transformation tools and techniques to optimize processes and manage energy consumption. Emerson’s new white paper explains how a variety of these digital tools help producers solve problems related to feedstock variability, asset condition monitoring, custody transfer, and more.

Oxygen measurement has a new tool in its belt. With paramagnetic oxygen analyzers as the long-standing method, TDLS brings flexibility to the arena with its capacity to be installed either in-situ or extractive. SICK’s white paper covers TLDR’s applications in oxygen, tank inerting, and Merox; its many benefits and features in comparison to paramagnetic processes; as well as a brief overview of the TRANSIC100LP portfolio.

Ethylene production has stringent product purity requirements. Ethane is a by-product of modern ethylene production processes and is considered one of the main impurities of the process. Small concentrations of ethane considered as inert must be purged from the system as they are operationally undesirable. Read how a new analyzer for the extractive measurements of ethane based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAs) has been deployed for process control of product purity in ethylene production.
