For many years, digital transformation has been identified as a cornerstone to the solution for enabling operational efficiencies in oil & gas and across all energy assets, which in turn help lower carbon intensity. Now, emissions management programs require that a variety of low-carbon technologies are part of energy operations, including electrification, monitoring systems, CCS, use of renewables, etc. What are the most effective ways to harness digital solutions in this new era? How are companies prioritizing their efforts to steer their digital programs toward achieving their emissions reduction goals? Which new digital and AI technologies offer most potential impact?
The synergy between digital/AI technologies and the hydrogen ecosystem can be critical in the scaling of key operations throughout the hydrogen value chain. Whether in sector coupling, optimization, or end-use simulation, these technologies utilize great potential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of operations and business models. How do we realize these benefits? What potential blind-spots exist?
