Synopsis

The sustainability of chemical processes extends beyond the physical and chemical sciences to include the biological sciences – reflected by bio and green modifiers, and other resources like alternate energy, alternate feedstock, green processes with minimal footprint and minimal environmental impact, process intensification, recycling etc. Digitalization has transformed the chemical industry rapidly across its entire value chain through predictive maintenance and process automation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) could provide a significant impact in problem-solving, mathematical analysis and information technology by optimizing processes in chemical industries. AI has promising applications in new areas that include materials designs such as catalysts, nanostructures, pharmaceuticals, additives, polymeric composites, rubber compounds and alloys. AI can make industrial processes safer and cleaner, and help invent new molecules for specific customer needs, including the increased circularity of materials. Over the next few years it will be critical for the chemical sector to find the right applications of AI technologies that can bring benefits in terms of reducing energy consumption, the reduction of environmental pollution, the realization of a full circular economy, cost reductions and product quality improvements.
