According to netBI ,without the adoption of technology, Australian transport organisations may find meeting the Government’s legislated Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 an uphill battle.

John Langford-Ely, CEO,  netBI said, “Public Transport Agencies and Operators are faced with more complexity today than ever before. No longer are they responsible for managing service delivery alone, they are expected to be experts in an ever-growing list of technologies and systems that power their depots and vehicles, as well as the data that they generate. This expertise is hard to build internally, and ironically this complexity requires more technology to help simplify matters through automation.

“When it comes to monitoring carbon emissions, we are finding our clients are struggling to handle their reporting and analytical requirements through their existing processes. The process of obtaining and warehousing the data, analysing it and pulling together the required reports takes weeks to complete when done manually. In the end, the results are often incomplete, inaccurate and difficult to audit, while the associated knowledge is hard to maintain.

“It’s exciting to see netBI’s Emissions Reporting Tool helping our clients to overcome these challenges. It’s making the process repeatable and its delivering confidence in the results. It’s also allowing clients to analyse and report on an array of pollutant data at a much more granular level, such as by vehicle, route and trip over any time horizon.”

netBI observes that the New Zealand Government has also pledged a Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2050, which has spurred the Greater Wellington Regional Council to work with netBI to automate the recording and reporting of their bus emissions data.

Andrew Myers, Manager Customer Insights and Assets for Metlink, Greater Wellington Council said, “We can more accurately meet Government Emissions reporting obligations and use the same data to deliver insights to other stakeholders.”

Public transport users can also make emissions-conscious decisions for their chosen route when using the netBI Emissions Reporting Tool through supported journey planning apps, which calculates the emissions value for each journey using public transport, as well as petrol and electric vehicles for driving.

This cutting-edge technology, developed in Brisbane, has the potential to help government agencies globally to better manage their sustainability programs, especially in relation to transport emissions. netBI also recently announced being a finalist in the QLD Export Awards’ Sustainability and Green Economy category, happening 4 September in Brisbane.
