Apaluma CEO Alicia J. Keyes joins ECOS panel on data-driven environmental outcomes

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apaluma, which transforms fragmented regulatory records into a unified ecosystem, today announced that founder and CEO Alicia J. Keyes will participate Aug. 31 in a panel discussion at The Environmental Council of the States' (ECOS) 2026 Fall Meeting in Jackson, Wyo.

"With Apaluma, a location's full regulatory history lives in one connected system," Apaluma founder and CEO Alicia J. Keyes said. "That's what moves permitting faster, clears FOIA requests sooner, and gives agencies a record they can act on."

This year's ECOS fall meeting focuses on exploring novel approaches to emerging challenges like the rapid expansion of data centers, critical minerals mining, and growing concerns around PFAS and microplastics. Keyes' panel, Data Insights for Improved Outcomes, will detail techniques for shrinking the oil and gas footprint, from strengthening methane detection and GHG reporting to leveraging open data to expand produced water reuse.

"The challenges on the ECOS agenda all come back to one question: Can regulators find and trust their own data?" Keyes said. "When the answer is yes, outcomes improve — and I look forward to explaining how on the panel."

About Apaluma

Government agencies hold the data that shapes daily life: Permits, regulations, and environmental records are all public records. Most of it sits in PDFs, scanned ledgers, and incompatible databases. It exists, but no one can use it. Apaluma transforms these fragmented regulatory records into one connected ecosystem. The records become searchable, secure, mapped to real-world locations, and governed by each agency's own rules. The platform is purpose-built for the full regulatory life cycle and serves analysts, scientists, and regulators who need answers in hours, not weeks.
