Through a pioneering initiative in the country, Braskem has been optimizing energy costs in its operation in Bahia and, consequently, reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Since October last year, the Q1 unit, in Camaçari, began to use new technology that allows selecting, automatically and in real time, the most appropriate energy sources to be generated or consumed by certain equipment. The closed-loop energy optimizer, known as C-ERTO is the result of the investment in innovation made by the company, following the characteristics of an Industry 4.0.
