Partnership will improve safety and
reliability while reducing energy consumption and emissions with a
roadmap to increase automation of its operations in Mexico
Global software and technology leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today
announced a strategic partnership with Braskem Idesa to provide
digital automation technologies and engineering services across its
operations to meet business performance metrics and achieve its
sustainability goals. Braskem Idesa is a joint venture between
Brazil-based Braskem, the largest producer of thermoplastic resins
in the Americas, and Grupo Idesa, one of the biggest petrochemical
companies in Mexico.
A multi-year digital transformation roadmap will leverage
Emerson’s extensive petrochemical industry expertise and broad
portfolio of advanced automation technology and software solutions
to drive not only operational excellence but also support Braskem
Idesa’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) scope 1 and
2 by 15% by 2028 and achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050.
“We identified several key financial and performance benchmarks
and brought Emerson on board to participate in the creation of a
detailed digital transformation strategy for achieving Top-Quartile
results,” said Stefan Lepecki, Braskem Idesa’s CEO. “Having a
well-defined path forward has given us the confidence to pursue our
sustainability and performance goals, with advanced, integrated
technologies that help us support market demands.”
Taking advantage of Emerson’s Operational Certainty methodology,
the roadmap provides a framework for scalable improvements in some
of the four key transformation work streams:
- Information management, including creating a data architecture
for real-time KPIs and decision-making.
- Physical loss control, with enhanced energy management and loss
control systems.
- Production and energy optimization with advanced control
technologies.
- Reliability and energy efficiency using data analytics,
continuous emissions monitoring systems, LED lights and fugitive
emissions reductions.
These work streams align with Braskem Idesa’s three-pronged
strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through
energy efficiency, renewable energy use and low carbon intensity
process technologies; renewable feedstocks and post-consumer
recycling; and capturing carbon emissions to use as raw materials,
value-added chemicals and as an alternative to future carbon
taxes.
“Successful leaders are realizing that sustainability
initiatives are also good business,” said Mark Bulanda, executive
president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “Reducing
waste and unnecessary raw material consumption, lowering energy
costs and driving profitability, all while improving environmental
sustainability, is absolutely possible with the right focus and
resolve.
