Case study summary

The 2015 Paris Agreement has made decarbonisation a global imperative, prioritising it for both governments and companies. Entities globally are now making commitments and intensifying efforts to close the gap to net-zero emissions.

In the quest for a sustainable energy landscape, data and software plays a pivotal role, significantly reducing emissions in hardto- abate sectors. For example, the cement and construction industries—key players in human development since the Industrial Revolution—remain major contributors to carbon emissions, alongside sectors like power generation and industrial combustion.

As global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 intensify, integrating technology within these sectors could offer enduring solutions. A recent collaboration between Schneider Electric, AVEVA, and Shell represents a crucial step in supporting the energy transition and aiding companies in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors, including the cement industry.
