Jennifer Pallanich, senior technology editor, Hart Energy: Find out how companies can use carbon data lakes to make sense of their emissions data on Tech Trends at AWS Symposium with Hart Energy Live.

Jay Shah, principal of energy marketing and innovation programs, AWS: You know, the number one thing for many industries, but specifically in energy, is that these global challenges on emissions and carbon, they’re big data challenges, immense, complex. They have infrastructure operations all over the world, and you can only manage what you can measure. Carbon data lake really simplifies that. 

So carbon data lake is a platform in which we can take data from disparate sources, ERP systems, IoT sensors, different infrastructure, and really put it into a simplified way of consolidating that data. Number two, what it does is then allows you to be to able report out internally and externally around what the emissions portfolio is for your assets. So that could be for over 50-plus standards, we can help set up customers for any reporting needs that they have. And number three, it's traceability. So you can actually know where that emissions data set is coming from and trace it back to the asset specifically to itself. And then you can actually optimize, you can reduce, you can make improvements, you can lower operating costs. And so what we want to do is simplify that process as much as possible for customers so they can focus on the things that will actually move the needle in terms of reducing emissions.
