• Dark matter and ghost particles—industrial data helps uncover the secrets of the universe

  SNOLAB is the deepest clean lab in the world. It searches for the most elusive building blocks of our universe: neutrinos and dark matter. The Nobel Prize website describes its experiments as like searching for a particular grain of sand in the Sahara—and it relies on industrial data to do it.Visit us at ourindustriallife.com

• AI: A sustainability friend or environmental foe?

  AI has been helping industries decarbonize for years by making their equipment more energy efficient and helping power grid operators incorporate more renewable energy sources. But, manufacturing, training and running the computers that power AI also produces a lot of carbon emissions. So, which is it? Is AI increasing or decreasing our industrial carbon footprint?Episode page: https://www.aveva.com/en/perspectives/podcasts/ai-a-sustainability-friend-or-an-environmental-foe/Visit us at ourindustriallife.com

• Green ammonia is decarbonizing food production

  Half the world relies on synthetic ammonia fertilizer to grow its food. But traditional ways of making ammonia produce about 2% of global CO2 emissions. On this episode, we speak to Dr. Zhenyu Zhang about how he’s decarbonizing the processes and making green ammonia.Image by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/schwoaze-4023294/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=3361927">Sabine</a> from <a href="https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=3361927">Pixabay</a>Visit us at ourindustriallife.com
