Energy & Infrastructure
One Missing Emissions Certificate Delays a $15M Wind Farm. You Have 500 Suppliers Across 20 Countries.
Energy infrastructure projects span decades but supplier certificates expire in months. CBAM requires embedded emissions data from every steel and aluminum supplier. Buy America mandates domestic content proof for federally funded projects. Your compliance team is buried in supplier questionnaires while project timelines slip. Manual compliance processes can't scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.
500+ Suppliers to track across global projects
55% Buy America domestic content threshold (Oct 2026)

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.
CBAM Deadline Approaching
Your EU customers need verified emissions data for steel and aluminum components in turbines, transformers, and infrastructure equipment. CBAM certificates are required starting January 2026. You have hundreds of suppliers and no systematic way to collect carbon emissions data. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.
Your Compliance Person Just Left
The one person who tracked every ISO certificate, supplier declaration, and material origin certificate just resigned. Critical knowledge is walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.
Project Delayed for Documentation
A federal infrastructure contract stalled because you couldn't prove 55% domestic content for electrical components. The project required Buy America compliance. You lost three months to manual supplier research. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.
Board Asking Questions
Executive team wants to know your supply chain compliance exposure. "How many suppliers have expiring certificates? What's our CBAM carbon liability? Can we prove material origin for federally funded projects?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don't have answers.

Pain Points
Energy Infrastructure Compliance Is Broken
Certificate Chaos
Certificates in email attachments, project folders, contractor portals. Nobody knows what's current. ISO 50001 certificates are with engineering, supplier declarations are with procurement, material origin certificates are... somewhere. No centralized system of record.
Compliance Visibility
See Every Certificate. Every Project. Every Expiration Date. No more digging through project folders. One dashboard shows certificate compliance status across your entire supplier base—with gaps and expiries flagged before they become problems. True BOM-level compliance intelligence.
- Certificate status by project, supplier, and regulation
- 90-day advance expiry alerts with automated renewal campaigns
- Gap analysis showing missing documentation by market (EU, US, UK)
- Drill down from project to component to supplier certificate
- Supplier risk scoring highlights vulnerable supply chain dependencies
AI-Powered Validation
Never Manually Review a Certificate Again. CORA reads supplier certificates like your best analyst—extracting scope, expiration dates, covered products, and certification body. Issues flagged automatically. You manage exceptions, not spreadsheets. AI-native compliance automation at scale.

Key Regulations for Energy & Infrastructure
CBAM
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. EU customers importing infrastructure equipment with steel, aluminum, or iron components need verified emissions data or face default penalty rates 2-3x higher. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence critical for evolving requirements.
Your Challenges
- Embedded emissions data required from hundreds of material suppliers
- Default rates apply if you can't provide verified data
- Supplier outreach in multiple languages across 15+ countries
- Complex calculation methodologies for finished equipment
- No standardized supplier questionnaire frameworks for carbon data
Certivo Solution
- Automated CBAM questionnaire campaigns to all suppliers
- Multi-language centralized supplier self-service portals for emissions data submission
- AI validation of supplier emissions factors
- CBAM-ready declarations generated from collected data
- Multi-tier supply chain transparency for complete emissions traceability
The Clock Is Ticking
January 2026
CBAM Certificates Required. EU customers must have emissions data for imported infrastructure components.
October 2026
Buy America 65% Threshold. Federal infrastructure projects increase domestic content requirement from 55% to 65%. BOM-level compliance intelligence essential for calculations.
January 2026
CSRD Scope Expansion. Large energy companies begin mandatory sustainability reporting including supply chain emissions.
