NZero, a leader in carbon management and sustainability software, has been awarded a contract by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) to implement a comprehensive live carbon tracking program. This initiative aligns with Michigan's ambitious climate objectives, including the MI Healthy Climate Plan, which aims for economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050.
The contract was awarded following a competitive evaluation process. This achievement reflects the company's unparalleled expertise and innovative solutions tailored to meet the complex needs of large-scale sustainability initiatives.
DTMB is committed to driving and monitoring energy and carbon reductions across its facility portfolio. The department is looking forward to advancing its management, collection, and reporting of carbon emissions data. By partnering with NZero, DTMB will be able to:
Streamline operational emissions tracking: Automating data collection and integrating directly with existing systems for seamless transitions.
Enhance data accuracy: Leveraging advanced QA tools to ensure reliable insights for informed decision-making.
Develop targeted decarbonization strategies: Supporting energy optimization scenarios, including building retrofits and renewable energy integration.
This collaboration is a critical step toward meeting the interim targets set by the MI Healthy Climate Plan, which include reducing GHG emissions 28% below 2005 levels by 2025 and 52% by 2030.
"We are honored to partner with the State of Michigan to drive measurable progress in their carbon management initiatives," said Josh Weber, Chief Executive Officer at NZero. "This collaboration exemplifies how our cutting-edge platform can transform data-intensive processes into actionable insights, helping governments achieve their net-zero ambitions with precision and scalability."
NZero's tailored training suite will ensure a smooth transition for Michigan, while direct utility data conduits streamline operations and boost efficiency. With dedicated post-implementation support, NZero reinforces its position as a trusted partner in advancing Michigan's carbon management goals.
This partnership represents a critical milestone in Michigan's sustainability journey. With NZero's proven track record of supporting large-scale public sector projects – partnering with states such as Nevada, Massachusetts and New Mexico – Michigan is well-positioned to lead by example in the fight against climate change.
