Customer Story

How One Oil Company Uses Cognite Data Fusion® to improve emissions reporting and reduce emissions.

This energy company used to manage GHG data reporting through a time-consuming, complicated set of interconnected Excel workbooks.

GHG data reporting required a team of several engineers for up to 6 months to create regulatory compliance reports. Resulting in the inability to scale data from reports across the enterprise for correct carbon tracking, measurement, and reporting. This was affecting the processes related to GHG compliance costs and emissions.

Cognite automated the process by utilizing real-time operational data, finance data, and various government and third-party databases to perform a complicated set of GHG calculations directly in Cognite Data Fusion® and automatically create the needed compliance reports. 

The company reduced the amount of errors/omissions in compliance reporting. It enabled improved forecasting to support enterprise carbon-informed decision-making and emissions reduction through real-time operations enhancements.
