Biofuels
Reduce Dependence on Fossil Fuels. Boost Energy Savings. Build Your Competitive Advantage.
As a full-spectrum automation provider, we can integrate the necessary energy monitoring, control, and reporting tools into your manufacturing to help meet your sustainability goals.
We can help you achieve major savings from reduced fossil-fuel-based energy usage. Through monitoring, management and load shedding, we help reduce overall peak energy costs.
Renewable Energy Control
We’re a growing contributor to the field of renewable energy. We design and install control systems for ethanol production, biofuel production, wind power generation and solar power generation. We have experience in waste management, thermal recovery, and effluent and water treatment processes.
Rockwell Automation has been a process partner in ethanol and super ethanol biofuel plants. And our automation controls maximize directional orientation in wind power and solar plants.
