=== Optimizing supply chains ===
 
* '''[[Logistics Optimization]]'''
** '''[[Electricity Supply Forecasting|Supply]] and [[Energy Demand Forecasting|demand]] forecasting''': The supply and demand of power must both be forecast ahead of time to inform electricity planning and scheduling. ML can help make these forecasts more accurate, improve temporal and spatial resolution, and quantify uncertainty.
* '''[[Goods Demand Forecasting]]'''
* Optimizing supply chains and logistics
 
* Carbon-conscious sourcing
* '''[[Greenhouse Gas Emissions Detection|Greenhouse gas emissions mapping]]''' '''for supply chains''': While some factories release publicly-available data on their emissions, this data is not available (or is misreported) in many cases, especially in emerging markets. ML can help map greenhouse gas emissions using a combination of remote sensing and on-the-ground data, leading both consumers and upstream suppliers to make greener decisions in sourcing products.
 
=== Developing cleaner products and materials ===
 
* '''[[Accelerated Science|Accelerated science]] for clean energy technologies''': Designing new materials is important for many applications, including energy storage via batteries or solar/chemical fuels. ML can help suggest promising materials to try, thereby speeding up the materials discovery process.
* '''[[Generative Design]]'''
* Minimizing material use through intelligent design
* Designing for carbon-conscious products/processes
 
=== Optimizing factory operations ===
 
** '''[[Electricity Supply Forecasting|Supply]] and [[Energy Demand Forecasting|demand]] forecasting''': The supply and demand of power must both be forecast ahead of time to inform electricity planning and scheduling. ML can help make these forecasts more accurate, improve temporal and spatial resolution, and quantify uncertainty.
* Optimizing energy usage
* '''[[Methane Leak Detection]]''': Fertilizer factories and some other chemical plants often leak methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. ML can help detect and prevent these leaks.
* Minimizing wastage
* '''[[Adaptive Systems Control]]'''
* [[Predictive Maintenance]]
*[[Predictive Maintenance|'''Predictive Maintenance''']]: Quickly detecting machinery faults can help reduce electricity and materials waste. ML can help detect faults in real time from machinery sensor data, or even forecast them ahead of time to enable preemptive repair or replacement.
* [[Demand response|'''Demand response''']]
