Solutions that address the challenge of the circular economy exact particular demands for the chemical industry. Products and processes must be redesigned to cut emissions and waste and extend material use systems.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

Aspen Hybrid Models promise a new generation of innovative process modeling. Learn why, and how this will change the course of the chemical and hydrocarbon industry.

Agile has traditionally been used for software product development, however, it can also be applied as a key enabler for supply chain transformation. Hexion, a global specialty chemical company, has applied Agile to improve supply chain processes, driven by Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE), across 45 global production sites.

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

As all companies have been challenged by the current economic and health crisis, the successful recovery requires a new view toward future development and growth with metrics that consider broad and more long-term goals. Featured in Hydrocarbon Processing, AspenTech’s Paige Morse shares considerations for building future resiliency that center around digitalization.

The 2015 Paris Agreement and other international climate change accords have helped raise global awareness of the need for countries to take urgent action to combat climate change. As companies continue to focus on sustainability, a common theme is taking shape around the role of digitalization as a key enabler. In fact, a recent ARC Advisory Group survey revealed that 75% of respondents rated digital transformation as highly important for achieving sustainability goals.

2015年《巴黎协定》和其他国际气候变化协定有助于提高全球对各国需要采取紧急行动应对气候变化的认识。随着企业继续关注可持续性，围绕数字化作为关键推动因素的作用，一个共同的主题正在形成。事实上，ARC咨询集团最近的一项调查显示，75%的受访者认为数字化转型对于实现可持续发展目标非常重要。

En todo el mundo, las organizaciones lideres están adaptando e implementado tecnologías digitales avanzadas. La travesía de transformación digital cambiará la naturaleza de las industrias intensivas de activos, particularmente los negocios de energía y químicos. En ese contexto, Digital Twin — (copias virtuales de activos físicos y sus comportamientos operativos) tendrán papeles clave. Para los gemelos digitales que creemos hoy, un concepto clave es la inteligencia artificial que proporciona información y asesoramiento sobre los datos virtuales. Descargue este White Paper para conocer sobre estas claves esenciales en su estrategia de digital twin:

在全球范围内，各领先组织正在接纳并实施先进的数字化技术。数字化转型之旅将改变资产密集型行业（尤其是能源和化工企业）的性质。在这种情况下，数字孪生（实物资产及其操作行为的虚拟副本）将发挥关键作用。对于今天我们创建的数字孪生，一个关键概念是人工智能在提供虚拟数据相关见解和建议方面的作用。
