Data drives industrial decarbonisation

Business leaders face a major challenge in conceptualising and delivering decarbonised processes in a way that balances profitability with future purpose, without adversely affecting the bottom line. This means that increasing energy efficiency, thoughtful use of critical resources, and innovative product and process redesign is no longer optional, but mission critical to ESG compliance and ensuring that emerging business models are equitably designed.

“Decarbonisation will be a story of innovation and optimisation,” said Steffen Zendler, process industry strategy and marketing manager at Rockwell Automation. “Our customers have an install base from which they need to earn profits today to invest in the energy transition tomorrow. Process efficiency is key to balance these competing ambitions.”

The report highlights five pathways that combine the urgent need to reduce the ecological impact of business operations, increasing production to meet growing demand, while maintaining profit margins to remain competitive. This zone of convergence is where operational efficiencies and improved profitability intersect with sustainability metrics, providing an effective strategy for decarbonisation. The five pathways that fall within this zone are energy efficiency, extending asset lifespan, optimisation of resources, faster response time to critical incidents and reducing personnel in remote or sensitive locations.
