How Lynx Automated Monthly Emissions Bookkeeping and Cut Process Time from 3 Days to 15 Minutes.
Lynx was spending up to three days each month on emissions bookkeeping, manually processing production data, applying operational adjustments, and checking results across its assets. Validere automated the workflow from production data through calculations and QA, cutting the monthly process to 15 minutes and saving more than 20 hours of external consultant time each month.

Discrepancy flagging and QA reporting from production data
01
The challenge
Lynx’s monthly emissions bookkeeping required a series of manual steps to turn operating data into reporting-ready results.
Each month, the team had to ingest production data, account for operating conditions, apply adjustments such as seasonal engine trends and pneumatic device operating hours, and cross-check the results across its assets.
The process could take up to three days and required more than 20 hours of external consultant support each month. The manual work also carried into year-end reporting, when the team needed reliable data for NPRI, GHG, and Directive 060 submissions.
02
The approach
Validere turned Lynx’s existing bookkeeping process into an automated, rules-based workflow.
Production accounting exports feed directly into the workflow, where Validere applies Lynx’s calculation logic and operational adjustments automatically. The system then runs QA checks against the production data and flags month-over-month discrepancies for review.
Instead of rebuilding the process manually each month, Lynx can review the results and investigate flagged discrepancies while retaining control to override values when needed.

The results
Working with the team significantly reduced our time to results each month and our spend on external consultants. What used to take three days of manual spreadsheet work is now done in 15 minutes. Most importantly, it gave us confidence in our numbers when it came to year-end reporting for NPRI, GHG, and Directive 060.
