In this episode we speak with Dr Soudip Roy Chowdhury, CEO of Eugenie.ai. Eugenie is building an AI platform that is helping to reduce carbon emissions from asset-heavy manufacturing operations. Many industrial processes, such as steel and cement production, require large amounts of energy to generate high temperature process heat. The current reliance on fossil fuels for this energy makes it difficult and economically prohibitive to switch to low-carbon alternatives and effectively decarbonize.
These industries are the epitome of what we think about when we think of carbon emissions. They are vast, generate a tremendous amount of carbon impact, and aren’t going anywhere. Eugenie.ai is tackling the problem by bringing accuracy to emission measurement using an ensemble of methods and then deep learning their way to the most optimal operational practices. In our conversation we learned just how medieval some of this tech is, which is great news - there’s a tremendous amount of slack in the system to take up. Eugenie’s platform is able to improve production, reduce wastage, and improve product quality all while reducing ~30% of emissions – and because of rising costs, do it at a net financial gain to companies.
Though a complete overhaul might be long ways out, the smallest efficiency gain brought about in the industrial sector by machine learning adds up to carbon saving comparable to fixing the entire transportation industry!
Our Guest, Soudip Roy Chowdhury
