KBC (A Yokogawa Company) is proud to announce that its Visual MESA® Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management software has been recognized as a "Certified Calculation Method" by TÜV Rheinland Energy and Environment GmbH, one of the world's most respected certification bodies. This prestigious certification validates that the Visual MESA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management software is compliant with ISO 14068:2023, an internationally recognized framework for the continuous review and reduction of carbon emissions.
The TÜV Rheinland certification solidifies the position of Visual MESA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management (VM-GEM) as a leader in emissions management solutions. It highlights the ability of the emissions management software to support your business in ongoing carbon emissions review and reduction while confirming compliance with regulations such as "Fit-for-55," the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). VM-GEM has met rigorous verification criteria, including comprehensibility, reliability, transparency, relevance, and representativeness of methods and data used.
With the Visual MESA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management software, you now have access to real-time data and process validation that enables you to develop effective decarbonization plans, optimize processes, and accurately calculate your Corporate Carbon Footprints on your journey towards net zero.
A key advantage of VM-GEM is its ability to streamline your emissions documentation for regulatory authorities. The emissions management software aligns with several international standards, including carbon footprint (DIN EN ISO14067), the life cycle assessment (DIN EN ISO14040/44), GHG balance (DIN EN ISO14064), amongst others. In an industry facing a shortage of qualified auditors, VM-GEM automates this documentation process, saving you time and resources while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
In today's business environment, where environmental responsibility is a top priority, VM-GEM emerges as a powerful solution to address the complexities of real-time emission tracking, energy optimization, and regulatory compliance. This certification means you now have a verified tool to meet your environmental goals.
The real-world impact of Visual MESA GHG Emissions Management is illustrated at a leading refinery in Brazil, which produces 300,000 barrels per day. As a key player in the country's energy sector, the refinery has made the energy transition a top priority and committed to reducing its GHG emissions. To achieve this goal, the refinery continuously optimizes, schedules and monitors its energy use and GHG emissions and other pollutants using the full suite of Visual MESA Energy Management System applications, including the Energy Real Time Optimizer, Energy Monitor, Multi-Period Optimizer and particularly, GHG Emissions Management, which calculates and monitors emissions in real-time as well as produces official reports.
Because of all those initiatives, the refinery’s achievements include:
This case study demonstrates how VM-GEM software can help you balance productivity with environmental responsibility, preparing you for strict regulations like Brazil’s upcoming Carbon Pricing System.
As you face the dual challenge of reducing environmental impact while maintaining cost under control, tools like Visual MESA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management will become increasingly vital. TÜV Rheinland’s certification of VM-GEM assures you of its capabilities and that you can rely on this software for accurate, comprehensive emissions management while Bringing Decarbonization to LifeTM.
