Your exposure is growing. Every quarter.
The invisible liability
Most industrial facilities have no real-time view of their pollution pathway exposure. The first time they quantify it is when a regulator arrives - or when a community health incident makes the news.
The underestimated cost
Carbon tax at R236/tonne CO₂e. Budget exceedance penalty at R640/tonne. NEM:AQA fines. Community health liability. Most operators cannot quantify their actual exposure - so they cannot manage or reduce it.
The stalled investment
Pollution reduction projects stall because finance teams need ROI, payback periods, and CO₂ savings - not just an engineer's recommendation. Without a quantified business case, nothing gets approved.
Six stages. One complete pollution picture.
Define facility boundaries, waste stream types, and receptor locations.
Input waste composition data. EPA emission factors calculate pollutant generation rates automatically.
Real-time PM2.5, NOx, and CO₂e by source - combustion, fugitive dust, decomposition, and transport.
Pathway risk scoring across air, water, and soil. Receptor impact mapping with distance and concentration modelling.
Carbon tax liability, NEM:AQA fine exposure, and community health cost burden - quantified in rands, in real time.
Pollution reduction strategies ranked by ROI, payback period, and CO₂ savings - with a ready-made business case for management approval.
