AVEVA is making history with its collaboration with Meridian Energy Group on the Davis Refinery, the first full-conversion refinery in the US since 1976. This project sets a new standard in sustainability by achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions through renewable biofeedstock. AVEVA's CONNECT platform and EPC .0 solutions are crucial for providing real-time visibility and seamless data management throughout the refinery's lifecycle.
Alongside this, AVEVA's new hybrid cloud MES solution highlights its commitment to advancing industrial technology.
