How AI-based fuel aggregator solutions are driving energy efficiency?

By Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-Founder & CEO, Nawgati

Our world is moving towards sustainability and energy efficiency. But what is energy efficiency? Simply put, energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same job done – and in the process, cutting energy bills and reducing pollution, according to Energy Star.

Are we taking steps to improve energy efficiency?
The current statistics portray the harsh reality of today. The Tom Tom Traffic Index suggests that an individual emitted 232 kg of carbon dioxide in 2022 just due to congestion. If that statistic doesn’t give you pause, perhaps this will: we spent nearly 132 hours stuck in traffic jams, equivalent to almost five and a half days of our lives lost to the standstill of Bengaluru’s rush hour. It’s a harrowing realisation of the price we pay for urban mobility. Imagine how much more time a person would have to spend in this traffic if they had to refuel their tank during peak hours, which is usually the case.

The need of the hour is intervention: governmental, industry-specific, and technological. While the government is laying the infrastructure roadmap, building bridges for easier mobility, and investing in technology, startups are designing solutions that could analyse the ground truth using artificial intelligence and drive energy efficiency.

When tech meets social need
Gone are the days of queuing up at gas stations during peak hours, wasting precious minutes, and contributing to the ever-growing carbon footprint. With fuel aggregators, drivers can now optimise their refueling schedules, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily routines, bypassing petrol pump congestion, and maximising efficiency. AI-based fuel aggregator platforms utilise advanced algorithms to understand fueling patterns, fueling efficiency, long queues outside fuel pumps, staff allocated, real-time movement data,
and traffic and congestion on every route, among several other factors, to determine the optimal wait time, serve time and location for refueling. This allows fuel tech companies to enable their users to make informed decisions on the go while bypassing traffic and long queues.

With the data-backed navigating systems, fuel aggregators are not only enabling the end users to save time, money and resources but also encouraging people to plan their visit well in advance – lifting the pressure on the fueling ecosystem to provide services within the limited frame – reducing spillage and unprecedented accidents. These innovative platforms harness the power of artificial intelligence to revolutionise the way we refuel our vehicles.

Why do we need an AI-based solution?
While it largely benefits the end users, the benefits extend far beyond the mere convenience of the general public. Adoption and integration of digital technologies can increase end-use efficiency and the efficiency of the entire energy system. By reducing the number of vehicles idling in queues at gas stations, fuel aggregators help alleviate congestion and minimise emissions, leading to cleaner air and healthier communities. Furthermore, by empowering drivers to make informed decisions about their refueling habits, these platforms promote a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

At the end
In a world where every minute counts and every carbon molecule matters, tech fuel aggregator solutions offer a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. They represent the convergence of technology and environmental administration, proving that with innovation and determination, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.
