As the oil, gas, and chemical industries pursue sustainability, independent terminal operators are key to enhancing supply chain transparency by tracking product lifecycles. Terminal management systems (TMS) provide essential operational data that, when integrated with external platforms, support comprehensive CO2 accounting across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. While TMS solutions do not directly capture emissions of any kind, they are the starting point of critical insights: Scope 1 emissions can be monitored using external energy management tools; Scope 2 emissions can be calculated by integrating TMS data with utility monitoring systems; and Scope 3 emissions can be estimated through detailed tracking of product movements and logistics. Integrating TMS data with CO2 accounting platforms enables operators to optimize operations, reduce emissions, and drive the transition toward sustainable energy and chemical production.
