VM-GEM KPI tracking and drill down

VM-GEM empowers refiners and operators to monitor performance in real time and trace emissions back to their source. By continuously tracking energy use and greenhouse gas intensity against planned targets, the system highlights deviations early and enables users to drill down from site-level overviews to individual assets, units, and processes. This transparency makes it easy to identify inefficiencies, uncover root causes, and take quick corrective actions that drive continuous improvement in both cost and emissions performance.

VM-GEM Emissions Monitor dashboard

Flexible, custom dashboards and web-based reports give a clear view of total emissions and carbon intensity across assets and operations. Reports can be generated automatically or on demand, delivered by email, and exported to PDF or Excel for easy sharing. Dashboards support multiple time horizons -daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly- and visualize emissions data with trends, pie charts, and asset-level breakdowns by emission type, giving actionable insight at every level of your business.

VM-GEM Emissions recalculation

Operational events such as month-end consolidations of fuel consumption or production can significantly impact reported emissions. With VM-GEM, past emissions can be recalculated in bulk - whether for a week, a month, or longer periods- ensuring that historical data remains accurate and compliant. All recalculated figures are fully traceable and auditable, providing confidence in both the integrity of your reporting and the credibility of your emissions records.

VM-GEM Automatic Auditability

VM-GEM ensures every emissions data point, calculation, and adjustment is automatically tracked and documented, providing a complete audit trail without manual effort. This built-in transparency simplifies compliance reporting, reduces risk, and strengthens confidence in the integrity of emissions data. By ensuring records are always traceable and audit-ready, VM-GEM provides assurance to regulators, investors, and stakeholders while eliminating the administrative burden of traditional audit processes.

VM-GEM custom reports

Simple emission reporting with compliant, automated and auditable outputs that meet regulatory and corporate requirements. With VM-GEM reports can be generated on a scheduled or manual basis, distributed securely by email, and exported in PDF or Excel formats for submission. Covering daily through annual timeframes, emissions reporting consolidates total emissions and intensity across assets, ensuring consistent, transparent, and verifiable data to satisfy auditors, regulators, and stakeholders alike.
