UK: Industrial decarbonisation company Carbon Re has announced a change in its company name to Gigaton. It said that the rebranding reflected the product it believed ‘would define the next era of industrial control.’ It said that Gigaton is a ‘self-learning control system’, that sits at the heart of plant operations, applying AI to both the control and optimisation layers to directly control actuators, explain its actions to the operator, and learn as the plant conditions change. Regarding the reason for the change to Gigaton, it said that a gigatonne is the unit climate scientists use when they talk about the scale of the change needed to affect climate change, and that the company name represents its understanding of the scale needed to achieve its mission.
