Q: How do we do it?...
We measurably improve assets’ performance and enhance EHS3 with solutions that are traceable, verifiable, & complete (TVC) via automation, controls, instrumentation, visual monitoring, and integration of technologies (IT/OT, Communications, IIoT, AI, ML, SW analytics, and more) to ensure compliance with new and existing regulations.
A: Asset Backwards
Where our Technical Collaborations Occur
Asset & site evaluation (risk ranked) for:
Continuous improvements in GHG Mitigation & EHS3
Site evaluation for Pollution-to-Power (P2P) projects
Leverage assets’ data for analytics/reports
Inputs NREL/HOPP, 45Q, 45V, & 45Z
Verify reduced risks & consequences
Increased measures in P&M, PSM, and EHS3 programs
Monetize performance and other values per Justice 40, IRA, & ESG requirements
