While many of us takes access to energy for granted, today, 770 million people live without access to electricity. As the world’s population grows, so does energy demand, making energy security more important than ever. Energy is not only key to having comfortable lives; it is also crucial for economic growth and social progress. But what exactly is energy security – and how do we ensure energy security today and for the future?

To find answers to these questions, The Process Automation Podcast host Fran Scott is joined by Dr Catalina Spataru, Director of the University College London Energy Institute; Brandon Spencer, President of Energy Industries at ABB; and Matt Healey, founder of PaceCCS.

Energy Security - Ensuring Enough For All

Many industrial facilities like mines, wind farms or marine vessels are often located in remote areas. Operating far from other infrastructure has its challenges, such as dealing with harsh weather conditions and ensuring that a qualified workforce is available at the right spot and time. 

Remote, however, doesn’t always mean far away: crane operators at container terminals can work from a control room rather than high up in a crane, and in mines, blasting can be managed from a safe distance.  

How can automation and digital technologies help address challenges in industrial sites that are hard to reach? And how can technology enhance safety and even open up opportunities for a more diverse workforce?  

To find answers, The Process Automation Podcast host Fran Scott is joined by:
Mårten Sjöström, Professor of Signal Processing at Mid Sweden University 
Sanjit Shewale, Global Head of Digital at ABB Process Industries 
Johannes Sikström, Section Manager Process Control and Analysis at Boliden
