(WO) – ADNOC is introducing an “industry-leading” artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled process optimization technology. Neuron 5 was developed by ADNOC and has been first deployed across hundreds of pieces of equipment at ADNOC Onshore’s Northeast Bab (NEB) field and ADNOC Gas’s Taweelah gas compression plant. The solution autonomously monitors the performance of critical equipment, enabling process optimization and preventative maintenance, reducing operational downtime, increasing efficiency and reducing the need for time-consuming manual inspections. Neuron 5 uses advanced AI models and deep learning algorithms to interpret data received from sensors on critical equipment, including pressure, temperature and vibration, to predict…

For example, analysts note that the United States and Europe (which includes EU member states, as well as Norway, Switzerland and the UK) will need to have around 1.6 TW of solar and wind capacity operational or financed by 2030. The report notes that final investment decisions (FIDs) have been made on just over 705 GW of solar PV capacity, 3% above McKinsey's 2030 target, while the United States and Europe need to FID on an additional 195 GW of wind capacity to meet their 2030 targets. With record capital already flowing into the renewable energy sector, especially solar power,…
