New technology enables real-time carbon monitoring Heavy lifting and transport company, Mammoet, has developed a new technology platform that reports emissions data from heavy lift ing equipment in real time. The system allows customers to accurately predict and monitor carbon output arising from large heavy lifting and transport projects. Project planners looking to meet increasingly strict emissions regu lations have needed to rely on estimates of total emissions, drawn from the make and model of equipment involved and how long they have been used. Mammoet’s new technology increases the accuracy of this reporting by using data taken directly from the embedded electronics of on-site equipment, the company said. The system, codenamed DAISY, transmits this data over mobile net works from local devices attached to the embedded systems of cranes and SPMT combinations. This can then be accessed from any world wide location, providing a clear audit trail for governments and other authorities. The system is currently in use in the Netherlands, monitoring the carbon emissions of a fleet of mobile cranes. It is planned for rollout across Mammoet projects according to customer demand during 2023. Jacques Stoof, head of innovation at Mammoet, commented: “DAISY will be the most advanced system to accurately report CO 2 , NOx and NH 3 emissions at equipment level at the operating location, improving on the generic approach the industry is currently using. Based on the actual reported emissions, clients will be given the option to choose for a more sustainable, less emitting fuel type to minimise their emissions footprint during construction”. 
