FEATURE : SUSTAINABILITY @ COP28

Sustainability and AVEVA software
There are at least three ways in which our software can help to achieve decarbonisation goals . The first one is to decarbonise and increase energy efficiency in existing plants , and switch to lower carbon intensity fuels and materials wherever relevant .
The second is working with an extended ecosystem , and connecting throughout the lifecycle of the asset . We see assets that have been enhanced , for example , green hydrogen , or biofuels . So the extended collaboration within and beyond the company , connecting very complex and new value chains , is the second challenge .
The third is to help scale new energies . The International Energy Agency estimates that we are going to have an investment of $ 4 trillion per year by 2030 in building out new capacities . We work with companies that already have solutions like wind or solar or biofuel .
But we also want to see new energies like green hydrogen , ammonia CCUS at scale , to get out of the prototype phase , and get them safely into commercialisation and industrial phase . Our software does that , to streamline the design , build , operate and optimise phases .
One of the highlights of AVEVA ’ s sustainable report is our sustainability strategy . We formulated our strategy into three pillars . It is operational footprint , technology footprint and an inclusive culture . These are the three ways for us to get to our sustainability journey .
On our software , we work with suppliers who have similar or stronger commitments , who care about sustainability like cloud providers .
The platforms are designed to streamline the process of collecting , transforming , and unifying data from various sources .
They help gather data from different parts of an organisation ’ s operations , including manufacturing processes , supply chains , and other relevant systems .
AVEVA Connect and Microsoft Fabric can help pull together the complete data analytics platform for the era of AI . Organisations can access their complete data estate to unlock and accelerate data potential , empowering teams and transforming business .
This , in turn , can contribute to green software initiatives by providing a unified view of data from different stages of the manufacturing process , reducing waste , conserving energy , and improving overall efficiency and sustainability .
These platforms offer tools for data cleansing , transformation , and enrichment , making the data more consistent and useful for downstream applications and preparing data to power AI capabilities .
Environmental impact can be reduced , and social responsibility increased through the efficiency and productivity AI applications bring . p
