October 31, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Schneider Electric Canada is demonstrating how its advanced automation and energy management technologies can help transform industrial operations and support the growth of a clean fuel economy as Canada works to decarbonize heavy industry and meet its 2050 net-zero commitments.
The company is drawing on global success stories, including the Kassø Power-to-X facility in Denmark. It is also demonstrating how digital innovation can make clean fuel production viable, efficient and scalable in Canada’s industrial landscape.
According to Emily Heitman, President at Schneider Electric Canada, Canadian industries are under increasing pressure to decarbonize while maintaining productivity and profitability. Through smart automation, electrification and digitalization, the company can help manufacturers, energy producers and utilities reduce emissions, improve performance and strengthen the resilience of Canada’s industrial base.
Schneider Electric’s integrated solutions bring together automation, power management and industrial software to optimize every stage of production. By using real-time data and AI-enabled insights, Canadian facilities can reduce energy waste, improve reliability and enhance safety while lowering operational costs.
Core technologies such as Modicon M580 PLCs, Altivar Process low-voltage drives, and Trihal transformers deliver secure, high-performance control and energy efficiency. Unified through the AVEVA System Platform, these systems enable centralized visibility and control, supporting the creation of Unified Operations Centres (UOC) that enhance operator efficiency, decision-making and remote capabilities, all critical for achieving both sustainability and competitiveness.
Schneider Electric technology powered the Kassø Power-to-X facility in Denmark, the world’s first commercial-scale e-methanol plant. The site uses renewable electricity from a 304-megawatt solar park and captured biogenic carbon dioxide to produce up to 42,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually, demonstrating that clean fuels can be produced efficiently and at scale.
Schneider Electric Canada continues to work with industrial and energy partners nationwide to accelerate decarbonization through electrification, digitization and automation, ensuring that sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand.
