To reach new levels of efficiency that will reduce emissions today, artificial intelligence (AI), paired with deep domain expertise, is a potential game changer. AI is key to creating energy-efficiency solutions that are proactive rather than reactive. For instance, a chemical processing plant using a steam-powered production system can apply AI to relevant sensor data, steam availability data and related planning information to optimize steam flows, generate the right amount of energy and reach optimal steam balance; in the process, the plant reduces energy use and achieves efficiency and emission reduction targets. Should Artificial Intelligence be adopted in all sectors ?
