Trafigura is also taking an equity stake in ZeroNorth, signalling a long-term commitment to the partnership.
The agreement will see Trafigura join ZeroNorth's network of strategic partners, offering industry expertise to help guide future product development.
"We're proud to partner with Trafigura – one of the largest players in global commodity trading and shipping," Søren C. Meyer, CEO at ZeroNorth, said.
"This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing the use of technology and high-quality data, sending a clear signal to the industry about the vital roles these play in the energy transition."
