How will Chemical operations help contain Climate Change
The climate issue has generated great debates in the main global institutions. Recent events highlight the need for joint change in all spheres of society to contain the problem. The industries have a fundamental role in this journey. We need it for our survival and supply, its performance is essential for the maintenance of life in contemporary societies. However, industries are also responsible for most of the problems faced today. Industrial operations make constant use of non-renewable energy sources, consume natural inputs, and also have combustion and pressure as a fundamental part of the processes. Among all [...]
The energy challenge for chemical industries
Chemical industries are responsible for a wide range of products used in everyday life. They are manufactured products for urban, rural, and industrial use. Insecticides, medicines, and personal care products are derived from industrial chemical processes. The process of these industries consists of using natural resources such as water, minerals and organic products as raw material. In order for the inputs to actually be transformed into marketable products, there is a long process of chemical transformation within the industrial plants of the sector. The main process within this industry is that of combustion. It is from [...]
How Steel Industries benefits from Digital Transformation
The steel industries have a fundamental role not only in our society but also in the industrial sector itself. These industries are responsible for producing the most used material in the sector, and also around the world. The importance of this industry is fundamental for the functioning and good organization of our daily life. However, the steel production process is carried out in such a way that its environmental impacts are contrary agents to the important need for decarbonization of the industry. Steel, before being steel, is an ore. The process of transforming this ore takes [...]
The path to an ESG operation
ESG (Enviromental - Social - Governance) is the acronym that has attracted the eyes of industries to an imminent and extremely urgent need. Since the first industrial revolutions, industries have introduced automation into their operations. In the first, coal moved the heavy machines through steam and replaced the brute human force of the time. In the second, electricity not only revolutionized industry, but the whole world. We can still mention the third revolution, in which information systems, just-in-time model, and adherence to computing, introducing new concepts capable of revolutionizing the industry once again through digitization. As we can see, change [...]
ESG : Main concepts and aspects to a better future
ESG stands for Environmental - Social - Governance. These are guidelines that guide financial companies towards the challenges and social objectives of the 21st century. Initially conceived in 2004 in the UN global pact in partnership with the world bank, the ESG strategies are about 03 pillars that must work in perfect harmony so that companies can generate sustainable growth, and be aligned with global goals. Next, we will show what each of the pillars means, and how important it is within organizations. E - Environmental The first ESG pillar concerns the good environmental practices that an [...]
Energy transition is possible through technology
The energy transition is one of the most important agendas for the industrial sector in order to contain the advance of global warming. But how can this be done feasibly? The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been highlighted in recent months around the world. The role of the industrial sector in this change is to transform its operations so that energy dependence on non-renewable sources is eradicated. The task is far from simple and requires time and investment to actually get it done. However, from the digital transformation and its technologies, industries have the opportunity to [...]
The need for decarbonization in the industrial sector
The need to reduce carbon emissions has been generating a major long-term transformation within industries. There are a lot of discussions about how digital transformation has been the escape valve for these many companies that adopt new strategies, and generate value through the use of technology aimed at decarbonization. Certainly, the digital transformation makes it possible for these industries to operate in a cleaner and more sustainable way, in line with the countless changes that occur in the world, and which demand efforts so that the business models remain viable. In the midst of so many changes, it [...]
