The main problem we see at Metallurgical Systems is that organisations simply don’t have the right technology in place. If you can’t measure and report transparently on your operations at a granular level, then there is no baseline from which to accurately calculate the reduction in emissions. Unless you can calculate emissions reductions, it’s impossible to evaluate the most effective decarbonisation strategies, which could include changing processes or implementing new green technologies.
Often, reporting is still done manually using office spreadsheets and assumptions, or sporadically by third-party consultants who are not technical engineers or metallurgists. This is a major barrier for our sector.
