Join us for this Timely Discussion!

Chemical manufacturers are under increasing pressures to enhance sustainability practices while managing rising energy costs. While making strides on large-scale initiatives such as electrification and alternative power generation, the distributed nature of equipment in chemical facilities means efficiency gains in systems such as pumping systems may be overlooked. Addressing these areas at site or fleet level can yield substantial benefits such as greater efficiency, sustainability, and ROI.

The key questions we will be discussing are:

What are chemical companies' biggest priorities when it comes to decarbonization and energy efficiency initiatives?

What can chemical companies do to optimize energy consumption and thereby meet de-carbonization goals?

Based on the decarbonization solutions we've discussed, what are the biggest challenges in addressing a chemical company's requirements?

How do organizations in this space typically measure and track progress towards decarbonization goals?

Which funding mechanisms or models may be effective for mitigating energy and sustainability improvement costs?

Connect with industry thought leaders through a candid dialogue that will discuss viewpoints on examining decarbonization efforts, discuss financing models and ROI objectives, and evaluate pragmatic on-site tactics. During this Virtual Think Tank, Frost & Sullivan’s Muthuraman “Ram” Ramasamy, Vice President and Global Client Leader, will moderate a discussion on driving sustainability, energy, and efficiency gains in the chemicals industry.
