Case Study: Shell accelerates enterprise AI, predictive maintenance, and production optimization with C3.ai

Shell reduces LNG CO2 emissions by 355 tonnes a day with C3.ai

Shell, a global energy company, faced the challenge of scaling enterprise AI solutions across its vast operations to drive efficiency and support the energy transition. They partnered with vendor C3.ai, selecting the C3 AI Platform after a rigorous evaluation for its maturity, scalability, and ability to manage tens of thousands of energy-focused machine learning models.

The solution implemented by C3.ai enabled Shell to rapidly develop and deploy over 100 AI applications. Results include optimizing LNG production by 1-2%, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 355 tonnes per day at a single facility, and scaling predictive maintenance to monitor 10,000 pieces of equipment. The measurable impact includes increased reliability, significant cost reduction, and accelerated progress toward cleaner energy solutions, leading Shell to renew its strategic agreement with C3.ai for another five years.
