A MAGIC BULLET

WITH ACCURATE ESG REPORTING MORE CRITICAL THAN EVER, THE USE OF FUEL DATA HAS SHIFTED IN THE AUSTRALIAN MINING INDUSTRY.

- 

With roots in Sydney and operations spanning more than 300 sites across nine countries, Veridapt has evolved from a fuel-tracking innovator into a global platform for environmental, social and governance (ESG) data, emissions transparency, and real-time fleet optimisation.

According to Veridapt chief executive officer David Thambiratnam, demand for actionable fuel data has surged in recent years, as mining companies work to meet ambitious decarbonisation targets.

“For a long time, fuel tracking was about managing costs, asset efficiency, and handling tax rebates,” Thambiratnam told Australian Mining. “But with increasing focus on emissions reduction targets, our customers are now using that same data to drive meaningful action.”

Fleet operations can account for 65-90 per cent of a mine's energy use, and with electrification of heavy vehicles still in its infancy, operators are leaning heavily on data-driven fuel management tools to cut emissions.

This means understanding every litre consumed, every vehicle filled, and every variance in efficiency.

“In the past, you might have reported your fuel use and left it there,” Thambiratnam said. “Now the question is, ‘How do I reduce it?’. And the only way to do that is with more granular, real-time data to provide the knowledge to effect real change.”

Veridapt's single-platform fuel-management solution integrates directly with fleet infrastructure and procurement systems to capture detailed insights about fuel types, vehicle usage, and energy costs.
