Tackling climate change using carbon emissions management software

Like the rest of the world, South Africa is not immune to the pressing issue of climate change. As Africa’s biggest polluter, South Africa has a responsibility to implement measures that will reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. In February 2022, the country's new carbon tax was signed into law.

This is the government’s measure to try to mitigate the severe impacts of climate change. The carbon tax means that government will be taxing businesses responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. All industries – including mining – need to keep a close eye on their carbon emissions to avoid hefty tax penalties. Innovative resources to assist in monitoring carbon emisions would definitely go a long way in helping both the mining and wider industries in South Africa to address climate change.

Constantly looking at technology trends and drivers, AIMC Technologies has recently partnered with a leading international emissions software provider to become the disclose CO₂ emissions. Current emissions management tools are not built for modern businesses and new regulations and legislation.
