Todd Energy optimizes its emissions tracking with AVEVA PI System
Todd Energy, one of New Zealand's leading natural gas suppliers, must accurately track and mitigate its emissions to meet its obligations under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. Previously, emissions calculations and records were done manually, and the company lacked visibility into its energy consumption. By deploying AVEVA PI System, AVEVA PI System Explorer and AVEVA PI Server, Todd Energy gained a single source of truth for its emissions, based on real-time data. The company now operates more efficiently, identifies opportunities for emissions reduction and energy optimization, ensures the availability of accurate data for regulatory compliance and accesses crucial information to optimize its processes.
FAQ
How does AVEVA PI System automate emissions reporting?
Todd Energy, a major New Zealand natural gas supplier, must report its emissions under the country's Emissions Trading Scheme. AVEVA PI System, AVEVA PI System Explorer and AVEVA PI Server continuously collect the required data and automatically run standardized and modeled emissions calculations. More than 1,000 hours of manual work are avoided each year, the risk of errors in regulatory reports is significantly reduced and compliance is guaranteed with full data traceability.
Why establish a single source of truth for industrial emissions?
Previously, Todd Energy's emissions calculations were performed manually, with the risk of inconsistencies between departments and sites. AVEVA PI System establishes a single source of truth based on real-time data, where every calculation follows the same standardized methodology. This consistency makes regulatory reporting more reliable, simplifies audits and forms the basis of a credible decarbonization strategy. In an oil and gas sector closely scrutinized by authorities and investors, it is a differentiating asset.
How can energy consumption be optimized through real-time visibility?
Todd Energy lacked visibility into its own energy consumption. With AVEVA PI System and PI System Explorer, the company now has real-time data on the efficiency of its gas assets. Teams instantly identify deviations from expected efficiency, isolate energy-intensive equipment and prioritize corrective actions. This visibility supports faster, more cost-effective decision-making aligned with both the group's financial and environmental objectives.
What operational gains does automating regulatory reporting deliver?
Automating emissions calculations with AVEVA PI System frees up more than 1,000 hours a year at Todd Energy. These hours are reinvested in analysis, optimization and continuous improvement rather than repetitive administrative tasks. Teams focus on value-added work: identifying emission reduction opportunities, supporting energy efficiency projects and preparing the group's low-carbon future. It is a textbook case of data management transforming a technical team's productivity.
How does AVEVA PI System support regulatory compliance in oil and gas?
AVEVA PI System gives Todd Energy a certifiable, traceable platform to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. Data is historized with timestamps, calculations are reproducible and auditable, and AVEVA PI System Explorer makes it possible to investigate every reported figure. This robust documentation is essential for regulatory inspections and provides legal protection. In a sector where environmental requirements are intensifying, it is a strategic investment.
