Reducing gas emissions is one of the key issues industrial companies must address nowadays, both due to ethical necessity and new legal frameworks regulating pollution levels.<\/p>\n

It is often difficult to determine how to reduce these emissions, usually relying on trial and error.<\/p>\n

A machine learning model can help identify the actions to take to reduce the atmospheric pollution generated by an installation.<\/p>\n

This approach promises cost savings because it enables factories to anticipate the impact of changes in their control variables on gas emissions beforehand.<\/p>\n

    Objectives<\/h2>\n

    Gas emissions reduction attempts to model atmospheric pollution, allowing for an understanding of its dependency on control variables.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The challenge is to get information on variables that can be easily controlled without decreasing the factories’ profit.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \n

    Benefits<\/h2>\n

    It enables making optimal adjustments to the factories’ control variables to minimize gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Approach<\/h2>\n

    The way to reduce gas emissions is to create an approximation model that considers input variables related to our target and estimates the latter.<\/p>\n

    Neural networks can model the correct values of the target variable to know its dependency.<\/p>\n

    That saves costs and time on decision-making and reduces a factory’s emissions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

    Data set<\/h2>\n

    The data set<\/a> contains measurements from our system or process.<\/p>\n

    It comprises state, control, and performance\u00a0variables<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    State variables<\/b> are those\u00a0inputs<\/a>\u00a0that determine the system’s performance and are not actionable by the company’s technicians.<\/p>\n

    Some examples of state variables are:<\/p>\n
