Schneider Electric and Platinum Electrical Engineering partnered to deploy the EcoStruxure Automation Expert solution for Brilliant Planet's low-cost algal carbon capture program. Brilliant Planet uses algae as an affordable and scalable method to sequester carbon on a gigaton scale. By growing microalgae in open pond systems, they can capture 30 times more carbon than forests. The EcoStruxure Automation Expert system is based on the IEC 61499 standard for easy integration with third-party equipment and seamless scalability across Brilliant Planet's global sites. This standardized application simplifies troubleshooting and adapts the process to the customer's specific needs, providing a complete, customized, scalable system.
