Green audits, energy-efficiency monitoring, and energy trading - all in one space

SUSTAINABILITY may be seen as costly, but local energy management company Evercomm wants to make it easier and cheaper for firms to be energy-efficient, and eventually even allow them to trade their excess energy, through its CO2 Connect platform.

Currently, CO2 Connect acts as an audit and assurance platform that works with banks to help companies secure green financing. It can track real-time reduction of carbon emissions or increase in green energy use, and justify how a company utilises a green loan.

To add further capabilities to this platform, Evercomm has a research and development (R&D) partnership with UK tech firm IONATE. The project studies how to connect power generators in factories and buildings back to the energy grid, so that excess energy capacity can be traded.
