SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - January 18, 2010) - Locus Technologies (Locus), the industry
leader in web-based environmental compliance and information management
software, has been accredited by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
to provide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions verification services. Locus is
one of just a few companies to obtain this accreditation.
The accreditation allows Locus to provide verification services for GHG
emissions reports. The verification team at Locus consists of experts in
all reporting requirements. Locus' in-house Lead Verifiers are certified
in all sectors, including refineries, cement production and electricity
transactions, to provide verification services for all reporting scopes.
On December 6, 2007, pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions
Act of 2006, the CARB approved the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions regulation. The regulation requires the mandatory reporting and
verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Facilities subject to GHG
reporting are mandated to have their greenhouse gas emissions verified
beginning in 2010, for their 2009 reported emissions. Facilities will be
subject to either annual or triennial verification. Only CARB accredited
verification bodies and verifiers may provide GHG emissions reporting
verification.
"GHG emissions are becoming important parameters to accurately measure and
report. Locus is excited to offer services to aid clients in meeting the
new GHG reporting requirements," stated Dr. Neno Duplan, President and CEO
of Locus.
Locus has also developed a cloud computing based software program to
collect, manage, and report GHG emissions. "With the training and
certification in validation, we are confident that the emissions data in
our software can be quickly and easily verified by a third party," said Dr.
Duplan.
