Cow to Cash: An Entech Advisory Services Story

Meet Our Client: An Energy Holding Company

Our client is an energy infrastructure holding that delivers safe natural gas services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. As part of their renewable energy initiative, they were launching a green program using livestock Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)—purified biomethane fuel that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and usable in natural gas vehicles. Simply put, our client planned to produce fuel using cow methane emissions in support of their goal to offset millions of gallons of gasoline.


Their Roadblocks

This energy company partnered with us to establish end-to-end business processes and gain the critical insights needed to prove their practices met the criteria for RNG certification. Some of their biggest roadblocks included:


  • Lack of knowledge of the gaps in their current tech stack

  • No view of business processes, preventing business entity alignment

  • Unable to provide regular reporting to prove the initiative met the criteria for RNG certification

  • Incapable of real-time operational analytics through IOT data visualization

  • Trouble obtaining insights to drive profitability and support efficiency across the lifecycle, impacting strategic decision-making
