wireless infrastructure were considered. The results of the study allowed for prioritisation of projects based on their impact on emissions for the next 10 years. Some of the prioritised projects include the electrification of hot oil furnaces and refrigeration compressors, flaring reduction, and implementation of an energy management information system. Conclusions Despite having only shared a few Fidelis use cases, numerous other projects have benefited from its capabilities, including biofeedstock to chemicals, plastics down-cycling or recycling, and expansion projects. Many major global

energy and chemicals companies have embraced the software at various stages of their projects to increase confidence and reliability. Understanding and reducing the level of uncertainty associated with new sustainability projects will help close the gap between the actual and targeted levels of investments needed for a successful energy transition.
