SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 14, 2009) - In the midst of climate change
discussions in Copenhagen, Locus Technologies (Locus) was recognized as one
of the oldest and most comprehensive providers of greenhouse gas (GHG)
software in a study just published by UtiliPoint International, Inc., a key
utility and energy industry analysis and consulting firm.
The UtiliPoint study focuses on both software aimed at emission reporting
and software aimed at emissions trading as well as the need for a link
between the two types of software. "We are very pleased with leading
industry analyst UtiliPoint's comprehensive study of software providers for
greenhouse gas management and with their recognition of Locus," said Dr.
Neno Duplan, President and CEO of Locus.
The Emissions Trading & Monitoring Software Study highlights Locus'
experience in the domain of Software as a Service (SaaS), not only for GHG
emissions management, but also as a general leader in the complex space of
environmental sustainability software, including water quality management.
UtiliPoint predicts that Locus' record of environmental software expertise
will help Locus to become a top player in the emerging field of GHG data
management and reporting.
eGHG, Locus' GHG emissions monitoring software, is applauded in the
UtiliPoint report. This software can create an emissions inventory that
can be easily verified and reported to various emissions reporting programs
in the US and internationally.
"Whether or not carbon is regulated through the Clean Air Act as announced
by EPA last week, or a United States Federal cap-and-trade program is
created in the near future, a comprehensive monitoring and reporting system
is still needed for compliance with the Clean Air Act, various voluntary
registries such as The Climate Registry or Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP),
and for trading with the various international programs already in place.
We are already witnessing an explosive growth in carbon data, analysis, and
reporting that comes on top of other environmental data streams such as
water and sustainability. Locus provides one stop shopping for all
enterprise environmental software needs," added Dr. Duplan.
