The chemical sector is undergoing a profound transformation as it strives to reduce emissions, adopt low-carbon solutions, and sustain competitiveness and profitability.
In addition to the target of carbon neutrality by 2050, the sector faces increasing pressure from consumers, governments, and society. Operators must not only comply with stricter environmental and safety regulations but also drive revenue growth, contribute to carbon circularity, and adopt innovative approaches to chemical processes.
Renovating the Chain of Chemical Value
To achieve such goals, plants require modernization. ABB’s partnership with chemical companies helps them implement smart technology that will increase energy efficiency, help them meet government regulations, and pave the way for new chemical initiatives (e.g., shifting away from fossil fuels).
Three of the key objectives of the transformation are detailed below.
- Mitigating Risk for Regulatory Compliance: Chemical production often involves multiple areas where safety or environmental risks may arise. High-quality measurement instruments and automation systems are proven solutions to help address these risks and ensure regulatory compliance.
- Reducing Footprint Without Sacrificing Output: ABB’s smart technology, which integrates instrumentation and software, is helping customers cut annual CO2 emissions by over 100 megatons by 2030, with a growing range of measurement solutions that can be used to help companies reduce their carbon footprint with low carbon technologies and feedstocks such as Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), low emission hydrogen use and production of synthetic fuels.
- Optimizing Efficiency to Improve Profitability: ABB offers a variety of field instruments tailored for chemical industry applications, enabling operators to gain deep insights into process conditions, ensuring operations run at peak efficiency.
