KATALYSTI

GREEN TRANSITION DATA SPACE
Katalysti is part of a European consortium that will build a new green transition data space, Green Deal Dataspace - SAGE , in 2025-2027. Katalysti's task is to implement one of the project's ten use cases, which will develop the management of Scope 3 emissions data:
-
The platform enables efficient aggregation of primary data from multiple service providers
-
A unified data model for transferring scope 3 data and computational metadata helps with data quality management
-
Data space frees from vendor lock-in
The data space is a systematic and secure ecosystem promoted by the EU, where different actors can manage, share and use data confidentially according to common rules. It enables the responsible exchange of data, for example between organisations, individuals and systems.
