In order to prevent emissions from ending up in the atmosphere, initial providers have started storing carbon in the ground. However, drilling these entry points is complex. A new collaboration is now set to make the process more efficient.

Rockwell Automation has announced a collaboration with Drillmec. According to a statement, this is a global onshore and offshore drilling specialist based in Italy. The goal is to make the drilling of entry points for new carbon storage faster, easier, safer, and more cost-effective with data-driven intelligence and precision automation.

With this type of carbon storage, the carbon is pumped directly from the place of emission, such as a factory, into the earth. There, it is permanently stored and can no longer enter the atmosphere. Drillec uses Allen-Bradley PowerFlex TL XT 755 AC drives from Rockwell Automation. Due to the higher efficiency, better automation and other advanced features, the new technology will also help that employees can remotely control the system from a distance, it continues. This increases safety on the construction site.

The partners expect that more efficient use and resulting lower costs will also reduce entry barriers for new facilities. This could reduce emissions for a wide range of industrial and domestic applications.
