Technological Innovation Elevates Renewable Energy Production
Albioma, a renowned renewable energy producer, has taken a significant step towards innovation and energy efficiency in Brazil, successfully implementing artificial intelligence technology provided by iSystems. This technological advancement has led to significant improvements in the biomass energy generation process, including reduced process variability and increased energy export.
Enhanced Efficiency in Energy Cogeneration
Albioma, which has stood out in the production of electrical and thermal energy from renewable sources such as biomass, solar, and geothermal energy, has implemented the innovative automation technology from iSystems on its drill ship Norbe IX. This development aims to improve efficiency and safety in drilling by automating operations on the drill floor.
“Heitor Gioppo, COO of Foresea, emphasized the importance of this technology for the industry, highlighting that automated processes allow for simulations and anticipations of all possible scenarios”, underscoring Brazil’s pioneering role in deep-water oil extraction.
