Climate change policies are driving the growth of geothermal energy, recognized today as a key resource for the provision of clean, reliable and sustainable energy. Though the global contribution of geothermal energy is low, it expected to accelerate as countries seek to meet climate goals and reduce CO2 emissions.

This brochure explains how Aspen InfoPlus.21 creates a complete picture of production operations.

The race to a zero-carbon future is on. Global oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical companies have announced ambitious carbon mitigation, plastics re-use and water conservation targets. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) are key technologies to help companies reach their sustainability goals.

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has the potential to play a key role in reducing emissions, and permanently storing the captured CO2 in the subsurface makes it an essential part of the solution. However, storing the carbon has its challenges, ranging from assessing geologic reservoirs to containment for permanent and safe storage, among others.

AspenTech's unique set of solutions are structured to drive and accelerate commercialization at large scale across all stages of carbon capture, utilization and storage: capture, utilization, transportation and geological storage.

Digital technologies can help accelerate the journey to the digital mine, where the entire operations, from exploration and surveying to drilling, blasting and excavating to processing and ultimately transporting material to customers is integrated and work together to maximize both profitability and efficiency.
