碳,氣候科技公司建立先進的人工智能脫碳能源密集型行業,引起了£420萬種子資金擴大其新技術的開發和部署。三角洲零AI平台使高度汙染的水泥行業年度二氧化碳排放量減少超過50 kilotonnes /工廠。每個安裝的軟件可以節省盡可能多的二氧化碳11000輛汽車的。能源密集型行業,如水泥、鋼鐵和玻璃,占據了全球20%的溫室氣體排放,是最難的經濟部門的脫碳。當前的計劃為這些行業嚴重依賴碳捕獲和存儲,技術,將需要幾十年的時間範圍內,增加這些基本材料的成本高達60%。碳的平台,相比之下,今天已經減少排放,降低了生產成本,並且不需要新設備。星球冒險,柏林氣候科技風險投資公司投資,後續參與從清潔發展基金,倫敦大學學院科技基金和劍橋企業。新投資將使產品推廣到全球水泥市場,擴大到其他能源密集型行業,如鋼鐵和玻璃。在短短兩年內,碳的創新軟件試點項目已經被用於減少燃料的使用和水泥工廠的二氧化碳排放量10%在歐洲,亞洲和美洲。Sherif Elsayed-Ali,碳的CEO說,“一次升級的燃油價格和增加強調二氧化碳減排目標,迫切需要采取行動。 Carbon Re is connecting the biggest challenge of our time – climate change – with the biggest opportunity – advances in AI. Our cement plant trials have demonstrated that Delta Zero can deliver dramatic CO2 savings on a near-live basis. “Our platform provides a unique solution for energy-intensive industries that delivers £2 million in fuel cost savings and 50,000 tonnes of CO2 savings per plant. This latest funding round will enable us to accelerate our mission to reduce carbon emissions by gigatonnes every year.” Carbon Re’s cloud-based Delta Zero platform models the unique production environment of each plant and uses advanced machine learning and AI techniques to achieve previously out-of-reach operational efficiencies. Delta Zero continuously analyses manufacturing data to enable plant operators to optimise production processes on a near-live basis. Optimal processes can be identified for the lowest possible CO2 output and fuel use, reducing operational costs and carbon emissions to otherwise unachievable levels, with no capital expenditure. Jan Christoph Gras, General Partner at Planet A, said: “Energy-intensive materials, such as cement and steel, are the backbone of modern economies but they account for more than 20% of global CO2 emissions. Carbon Re’s state-of-the-art AI solution has the potential to tackle some of the toughest challenges on the road to a carbon-neutral future. Starting with fuel efficiency in cement, Carbon Re has the ambition and capability to develop a large portfolio of advanced solutions across multiple industries – and substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” ENDS Carbon Re Carbon Re is on a mission to reduce carbon emissions by gigatonnes every year through the use of AI technology. Its focus is on energy-intensive industries such as cement, steel and glass, which are responsible for more than 20% of global emissions. Carbon Re’s Delta Zero platform for industrial decarbonization uses deep learning to enable rapid development and deployment of new low-carbon industrial processes, designs and materials.
