Strategic Planning for Net-Zero Goals in Industries

This document is a data sheet detailing the AspenTech Strategic Planning for Sustainability Pathways, which assists capital-intensive industries in developing effective decarbonization strategies. It outlines the complexities involved in achieving net-zero goals and emphasizes the importance of balancing financial objectives with sustainability targets. The solution facilitates efficient decision-making through scenario analysis, enabling users to evaluate multiple technologies and their associated costs. Key capabilities include customizable templates, a flowsheet-based model, and a robust optimization solver. The document also presents a use case involving an oil and gas company aiming to reduce emissions from a steam methane reforming unit. It describes how the solution aids in evaluating various carbon capture technologies and processes to convert captured CO2 into valuable products, ultimately helping planners recommend the best pathway for achieving net-zero commitments while managing investments and emissions effectively.
