C-Lock Technology Inc. has partnered with IBM Business Partner Enterprise Information Management, Inc. and Evergreen Energy Inc. to develop a greenhouse gas meter called GreenCert, which can calculate carbon reductions across multiple industries and devices.
GreenCert provides an automated software tool to gauge and document greenhouse gas management efforts and can transform this data into Certified Carbon Emissions Reduction Credits (CCERC). GreenCert offers a standard, repeatable methodology for efficiently collecting and manipulating large volumes of information and calculating and documenting emissions reductions. Powering GreenCert is an engine designed by C-Lock Technology Inc. - based on patent-pending process technology - designed to ingest many kinds of data available from a wide variety of sensors and tools, and use them to quantify the greenhouse gases emitted and changes in emissions.
Dr. Patrick Zimmerman, former director of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's Institute of Atmospheric Science (IAS) and inventor of the technology, serves as director of technology for C-Lock Technology Inc. Zimmerman is owner and inventor of C-Lock Inc., which has licensed its process on a worldwide basis to C-Lock Technology Inc.
Zimmerman believes collaboration the key to success in this partnership. "Our collaboration with IBM is important for C-Lock Technology Inc. because it provides us with a global reach," Zimmerman said. "C-Lock Technology Inc. is important to IBM because it provides technology to support IBM's commitment to provide solutions that help the planet become more sustainable."
