Location

United States

A natural gas company sought to expand operations across multiple states, requiring new Title V permits and an enhanced environmental program. Trinity Consultants provided technical expertise and embedded support to help the company manage complex air permitting and compliance tasks.

Challenge

Prior to establishing and digitizing the client’s ESG reporting system for the midstream companies, the company was heavily reliant on consultants to piece together compulsory reports for EPA GHG reporting, voluntary ESG disclosures, and corporate reporting. Metrics varied by business unit, geography, and report type. There was a growing need for a more efficient, centralized system for collecting data and calculating and reporting emissions across the growing company footprint. Meanwhile, manual spreadsheets remained their primary administrative tool. With the company gearing up for a myriad of climate-related initiatives and emerging regulations, Trinity saw the need to automate these processes and recommended an immediate transition to digital processing for the midstream companies.

Solutions

Trinity facilitated workshops with key environmental, operations, engineering, and IT stakeholders to establish agreement on project strategy, goals, scope, timeline, budget, metrics, and responsibilities. The partners deemed that a comprehensive environmental management platform was needed to anchor the plan. After assembling a shortlist of potential software providers and attending product demonstrations, the partners selected an EHS management platform.

This software was then configured to meet the client’s specific regulatory, permitting, and ESG reporting requirements across the firm’s multi-state, multi-regulatory network. Trinity also digitized many of the client’s mission-critical compliance management tasks to support various environmental field assessments and inspections. After all applicable data was securely transferred to the cloud, integrated into the system, and system testing was completed, optimization and training followed.

Services Performed

The team managed Title V permitting across multiple states, delivered emissions inventories and compliance reporting, and provided day-to-day air permitting support. They developed standardized tools to support ongoing environmental management and compliance.

Results

The initial system build successfully launched with a focus on air emissions calculations and air quality compliance to meet regulatory requirements. Since then, Trinity has continued to provide:

  • Automation and integration tools and regulatory reporting support
  • Seamless onboarding of dozens of the client’s newly acquired/constructed facilities
  • Streamlined permitting management
  • More than 30 automated data checks to support quality assurance
  • A tracking system for cultivating and vetting new ideas

Meanwhile, the client can process millions of data points and calculations for more frequent, monthly reporting instead of limited annual reporting. This visibility has simplified compliance and provides valuable, frequent tracking of key environmental performance indicators. Automations now make responding to inquiries and inspections less stressful, and the client’s staff can focus on pursuing greenhouse gas goals while many competitors are still mired in manual number-crunching.
