As the race to net-zero emissions intensifies, how can energy-intensive manufacturers meet their decarbonisation goals, and simultaneously meet demand in an increasingly complex and competitive business environment? The answer lies in the intersection between machines and manufacturing processes. Tune in to hear how the combination of machine health and process health is enabling manufacturers to embrace digital transformation more holistically – across People, Planet and Profit.

Decarb Connect Europe 2022 convened a carefully curated group of CTOs, COOs, heads of sustainability, innovation and decarbonisation sectors that share your co2 challenges. The presenters and live attendees were all from hard-to-abate sectors including cement, steel, oil & gas, ceramics & glass, power, utilities.

Over 2 days, attendees learnt about CCS case studies in Europe, early-stage tech solutions and policy frameworks and funding mechanisms creating an enabling environment for industrial decarbonisation, among many other topics.

The event was brought to an end with the Future of Hydrogen boat tour, in partnership with TET Amsterdam and ORAM, which focused on Amsterdam’s future as a Hydrogen Hub in Europe and included current projects, such as the green hydrogen pilot at TATA Steel, as well as future refurbishment of assets at the port
and in the North Sea Canal.

Cement manufacturers face regular production losses due to inefficiencies in their production process – like kiln throughput, cement or clinker quality, ammonia cost optimization and energy inefficiencies to name just a few. At the same time they also grapple with another, related challenge: reducing their carbon footprint, specifically regarding NOx and CO2 emissions. Stabilizing and optimizing the kiln is often key to reducing these inefficiencies, but with so many variables it’s a constant juggling act.
