Our Story
- Founded Lukla2010Designed and utilized Lukla ECM for internal purposes (Drakken)
- Lukla ECM beta tested2014Ryan and Chad partnered with a client to beta test the system for their content management.
- Lukla ECM Commercialized2016By the end of 2017 Lukla ECM acquired 10 clients
- First Oil & Gas enterprise client2018Lukla ECM secures a partnership with a prominent Calgary-based Oil & Gas company to integrate their entire engineering content into the platform. They continue to rely on and use our system to this day
- OttoTasks Created2020We secured a large-scale project with a prominent Calgary-based GHG company to help manage their field data for a large scale methane reduction project. Through the discovery we realized that we were trying to fit a data problem into a content management system and it didn’t make sense. We then approached them with the idea to build a mobile app and corresponding web application to assist with gathering data from the field that would be auditable and easier to capture without error. They loved it!
- Founded CarbonAi2021Dedicated to transforming climate change challenges and emission reduction obligations into strategic opportunities on a global scale.
- OttoTasks Commercialized2022In 2021 and 2022, we undertook a monumental project spanning the province, involving the deployment and management of 12,000 field devices. This initiative played a pivotal role in supporting Alberta's most successful methane reduction project to date. Leveraging our platform, we achieved a significant drop in error rates and elevated the confidence level in the collected data. In the summer of 2022, we decided to commercialize the platform into OttoTasks, thereby extending our expertise and offer invaluable assistance to any entity seeking to gather auditable field data
- First DMRV Crediting Project2022CarbonAi and OttoTasks collaborated to develop telemetry connections and visualization tools to assist with their first flare to gas capture project. This project provided invaluable insights into GHG MRV processes, culminating in the development of CarbonAi's first Crediting & dMRV solutions, marking a significant leap forward in emissions management.
- Hello Otto!2023CarbonAi acquired Lukla, leveraging the data management platform to enhance its suite of data tools. Lukla was rebranded to OttoMate (OttoFiles and OttoTasks) and showcased our first non-GHG platforms
- Growth2023OttoTasks currently manages over 1.2 million pieces of content across 13 countries. Between 2022 and 2023, our employee count tripled requiring us to move to a larger office in the heart of downtown Calgary. We celebrated this expansion with an inaugural Stampede Breakfast, marking the first of many more events and milestones to come.
- COP28 UAE2023Our CEO, Ryan Arsenault, and Chief Carbon Officer, Yvan Champagne, participated in an enlightening panel discussion centered on digital measurement, reporting, and verification.
- Looking Ahead2024Today we’re leading the charge in changing the way that GHG projects are being executed as well as providing our tools to others outside of the GHG space that have similar data needs.
