Petrochemical giant Ineos, which operates oil, chemical and power plants at Grangemouth, currently emits around three million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year.
The multinational has announced it will use special software that can assess operational data across complex industrial facilities and calculate efficiencies at its Kinneil oil and gas terminal.
Bosses believe the innovative technology could help reduce emissions by up to 10 per cent when fully integrated – with potential for further cuts in the future.
The move comes shortly after the company set out a commitment to reduce emissions from its operations in Grangemouth by more than 60 per cent by 2030 and reach neutral levels by 2045, in line with the Scottish national target.
