RENEWABLE ENERGY ❝There’s never been a better time to
be an engineer. We are inventing new processes to deal with climate change and this means engineers are needed now more than ever.”
CUSTOMER PROJECTS Ongoing green projects for Emerson include one with Neom, a green hydrogen energy company based in Saudi Arabia. The company is producing 600 tons of green hydrogen and 1.2mtpa of green ammonia a day and Emerson is helping to automate, design and build out the infrastructure. Another project is with French

Supplier roadmap
The keynote saw Emerson’s Train and Zornio provide a detailed sustainability roadmap for suppliers. It explained how the company’s factory automation solutions can drive innovation in areas such as emissions monitoring, CGC overhaul and furnace optimisation. The roadmap also detailed likely savings as a result of implementing these innovations. Emerson has long been recognised for its work in sustainability, and last year received the 2023 Bosch Global Supplier Award which noted that that 70% of Emerson’s revenue is tied to sustainability-enabling technologies for customers. When presented with the award, Train said: “Emerson is deeply honoured to receive the 2023 Bosch Global Supplier Award in the Sustainability category. Our efforts are having a measurable impact as we partner with customers to make the world healthier, safer, smarter and more sustainable.” The company’s impressive committment to reducing emissions across its global operations looks set to continue long into the future.
Emerson’s four pillars of sustainability: decarbonisation and seeing out renewable energy sources; opportunities around making fuel from waste; the hydrogen ecosystem; and circularity and waste management. Train said: “There are fewer and
fewer people who don’t believe that the actions of humans are changing the planet. I’m an engineer by background and it’s kind of a simple material balance - the carbon was in the ground and now we’re bringing back into the atmosphere where it was billions of years ago.” Zornio concluded with a rallying
statement: “I also think there’s never been a better time to be an engineer. There’s are new processes being invented to combat climate change. Engineers are needed now more than ever to help solve these problems.” ●
