碳,气候科技公司建立先进的人工智能脱碳能源密集型行业,引起了£420万种子资金扩大其新技术的开发和部署。三角洲零AI平台使高度污染的水泥行业年度二氧化碳排放量减少超过50 kilotonnes /工厂。每个安装的软件可以节省尽可能多的二氧化碳11000辆汽车的。能源密集型行业,如水泥、钢铁和玻璃,占据了全球20%的温室气体排放,是最难的经济部门的脱碳。当前的计划为这些行业严重依赖碳捕获和存储,技术,将需要几十年的时间范围内,增加这些基本材料的成本高达60%。碳的平台,相比之下,今天已经减少排放,降低了生产成本,并且不需要新设备。星球冒险,柏林气候科技风险投资公司投资,后续参与从清洁发展基金,伦敦大学学院科技基金和剑桥企业。新投资将使产品推广到全球水泥市场,扩大到其他能源密集型行业,如钢铁和玻璃。在短短两年内,碳的创新软件试点项目已经被用于减少燃料的使用和水泥工厂的二氧化碳排放量10%在欧洲,亚洲和美洲。Sherif Elsayed-Ali,碳的CEO说,“一次升级的燃油价格和增加强调二氧化碳减排目标,迫切需要采取行动。 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.
