Automation sustainability progress at COP29.

Innovations accelerating energy management, emissions reduction and decarbonisation

Emerson is attending COP29 in Baku, (AZ), participating in Climate Action’s Sustainable Innovation Forum and Hydrogen Transition Summit. Chief sustainability officer Mike Train will share his insights on how automation technologies are helping accelerate the energy transition and the collaboration and investment required to scale breakthrough innovations across emerging clean energy sectors.

Emerson partners with both established industrial companies and new-to-the-world start-ups to advance their commercialisation and sustainability roadmaps. The company’s technologies and services support four key areas: energy source decarbonisation, energy and emissions management, electrification and grid system, and circularity and waste reduction.

“Achieving a sustainable transformation of the global economy by 2050 demands an unprecedented level of collective determination and cooperation among companies, governments and non-profits,” said Train. “We must maintain the resolve to work through challenges and make progress, navigating the policy and economics of the transition, and attracting the next generation of talent to the field.”

Train will speak during COP29 at the below panels:

• Sustainable Innovation Forum – Powering the Future: Rapid scaling of clean energy for stability and resilience, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 11:25 a.m. (local time).
• Hydrogen Transition Summit – Informed Policy Frameworks: The role of the private sector in supporting informed and ambitious policy, Friday, Nov. 15, 10 a.m. (local time).

COP29 attendees can explore Emerson’s latest innovations at Stand 102 in the Climate Action Innovation Zone, Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard. The exhibit will showcase examples of how Emerson’s Boundless Automation™ enables its customers to deploy their decarbonisation strategies faster and more efficiently.

Environmental sustainability is a business imperative for Emerson and its value chain partners – from suppliers and customers to employees and communities. In 2023, with a continued focus on energy efficiency and Scope 1 emission abatement strategies, Emerson achieved a Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction of 52% since 2021. For its locations worldwide, the company has also procured 49% of electricity from renewable sources, progressing toward its goal to source 100% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
