In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has regularly hit the headlines: in 2016, it beats Grandmaster Lee Sedol in playing Go, and in 2018, the auction house Christie's auctioned off the first artwork created by artificial intelligence, "Portrait of Edmond de Belamy", for over 400,000 dollars. And today the AI-based text generator GPT-3 from the research laboratory Open AI, co-founded by Elon Musk, is said to flood the web with fake news through machine-generated posts but what about industrial applications of artificial intelligence? What are the opportunities and challenges of AI in the process industry?

In line with the Paris agreement and an aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Perstorp will be converting majority of its polyols produced at the largest production plant in Perstorp, Sweden, to pro-environment products.

Siemens Energy has plans to carry out industrial-scale production of hydrogen electrolyzers in Berlin, Germany in order to boost the concept of green hydrogen. With an investment of more than 30 million dollars, the site is expected to commence production in 2023.

A consortium comprising of six firms have collaborated to develop Asia’s first green e-methanol plant. Capable of converting captured biogenic carbon dioxide and green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity into green e-methanol, the pilot plant will be established in Singapore and the low-cost fuel will be supplied to the maritime industry.

Braskem and Haldor Topsoe have recently achieved their first demo-scale production of bio-based monoethylene glycol (MEG) from sugar in Denmark. This confirms the potential for large-scale production of renewable MEG by making use of the Mosaik technology.

Senseye’s predictive maintenance solution for industrial firms is capable of reducing unplanned machine downtimes by up to 50 % and increasing maintenance staff productivity by up to 30 %. With this acquisition, Siemens plans to expand its portfolio for digital enterprises services and provide highly flexible solutions to its customers.
