Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting all industries in a significant manner. It is now understood that AI can play a significant role in addressing environment challenges, from emission tracking, monitoring and reporting, for faster and better decision making for sustainability and compliance. Emissions typically refer to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A comprehensive report released by the Environment and Climate Change Canada provides in depth requirements and insights for management and compliance of GHG emissions.

One of the objectives of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI can help transform emission management, with greater efficiency and accuracy for better sustainability and greater compliance. The workshop will discuss briefly the opportunities, challenges, and path forward in leveraging AI for emissions management. While there are a number of emission sources, in this workshop we will focus on some relevant examples from carbon capture, industrial supply chain, and energy fields. The workshop will enhance the theoretical knowledge of the key elements for emission management and the changes introduced from 2006 to 2023. Through case studies and practical examples, the workshop participants will gain insights and skills to understand how to leverage AI driven solutions. One of the most common challenges in implementing AI relates to the ethics and governance of AI solutions, and in the workshop the best practices related to these ethical considerations.

What will you learn?

  • Greater understanding of technical and reporting requirements for emission tracking, regulatory requirements and industry standards
  • Overview of AI technologies and applications that provide opportunities, solutions to impact multiple areas of sustainability.
  • The range of benefits that can be achieved with AI-enabled strategies, and reasons why AI will continue to play a bigger role
  • An understanding of various AI solutions and approaches for emissions tracking and reporting, optimizing workflows and impact the data accuracy and reliability
  • Understanding of best practices through a series of case studies and interactive discussion
  • Better understanding to address ethical and governance topics
