Renewable Energy Sustainability Solutions
Reduce risk and improve efficiencies with a single, integrated software platform
Solar • Wind • Hydro • Geothermal • Biomass
Companies within the renewable energy sector are critical to provide a variety of clean energy, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. According to the IEA, global renewable energy capacity saw a 50% increase in 2023 from 2022 with momentum expected to continue growing. Not only are renewable and sustainable energy sources and practices crucial for slowing climate change, they are creating new jobs and economic development.
Growing public awareness is also generating greater consumer demand for green energy sources, and government administrations are investing in renewable energy production. Generating renewable energy, however, can be intensive when it comes to land usage, which may have corresponding impacts on surrounding communities.
The Renewables Project Lifecycle
Managing renewable energy projects can be a sizeable and complex task, consisting of various interrelated phases which make up the lifecycle of the operation.
At each of these stages, renewable energy companies can benefit from one or many of our IsoMetrix software solutions.
Development and pre-construction phase
During the development and pre-construction phase, our software will facilitate the following:
- Record details of all environmental impact assessments and baseline surveys
- Manage stakeholder engagements and track resettlement commitments
- Manage all permits required to initiate, construct, and operate your renewables facility
- Identify material Sustainability indicators and risks
Construction phase
During construction of your renewables facility, our software will enable you to:
- Execute regular audits and inspections, identify safety hazards, and mitigate inherent risks
- Capture, monitor, and report on Sustainability-related metrics
- Record and investigate incidents, injuries, near misses, and non-conformances
- Analyze trends to enact effective preventive and corrective measures
- Assess environmental aspects and impacts of construction including tracking and calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Operations and maintenance phase
Once your renewables facility is operational, our software will assist you to:
- Observe and document all risks and critical controls via audits, inspections, and recurring assessments
- Manage the health and safety of your workforce
- Collect sustainability metrics and report against relevant standards
- Ensure strong implementation of continual improvement measures and achieve compliance with standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
- Monitor adherence to the commitments made in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment (SIA), thereby ensuring your renewable facility’s license to operate
- Capture, track, and act on environmental monitoring data such as energy, water biodiversity, air quality, and noise levels
- Calculate your GHG emissions and set initiatives to reduce your carbon footprint
Decommission phase
Should you need to decommission and close your renewables facility, our software can help you to:
- Manage risk and obligations unique to closure, particularly safety and security obligations
- Accomplish rehabilitation and social responsibility undertakings against targets agreed with the government and local community
- Monitor and manage all environment, health, and safety risks
- Assess and report on sustainability and carbon impacts related to project end of life
