6 Engineers. 2 Months. One Spreadsheet. We Watched It Happen.
During an internship at BOTAŞ — Turkey's national pipeline company — we saw emission reporting up close. It was worse than expected.
What we saw
Six engineers. Two months. Dozens of Excel files. Cross-referencing invoices, converting units by hand, formatting for regulators. A misplaced decimal could void the whole filing. Everyone knew it was broken. Nobody had a better option.
This isn't just a BOTAŞ problem
1,700+ Turkish exporters deal with the same thing. Globally, 18,000+ EU importers must file verified emissions. The standard: consultants and spreadsheets — €70K+/year, 200+ hours per report.
So we built the fix
We mapped every manual step — data collection, unit conversion, factor lookup, formatting, audit prep — and replaced each one. Months → hours. Audit-grade accuracy. Blockchain-verified trail.
Why we keep going
Compliance shouldn't need an army of consultants. We built ArgonGate so mid-size manufacturers get the same capability that only big corporations could afford.
Six engineers. Two months. Dozens of spreadsheets. That's what we replaced.
