Carbon Tracking Software

Direct emissions tracking for combustion sources -- natural gas, fuel oil, diesel generators, and process gases -- from meter data and fuel purchase records. Fugitive emissions from refrigerants tracked against charge and recovery records. Scope 2 purchased electricity emissions calculated using both location-based and market-based methods as GHG Protocol requires. Renewable energy certificate (REC and REGO) management so market-based Scope 2 reflects your actual electricity procurement. Monthly and annual emissions summaries by facility, by energy source, and by business unit for internal management and external disclosure.

Scope 3 emissions across the GHG Protocol categories relevant to your business: purchased goods and services (categories 1 and 2), business travel (category 6), employee commuting (category 7), upstream transportation (category 4), downstream transportation (category 9), use of sold products (category 11), and end-of-life treatment (category 12). Primary data collection from suppliers and logistics providers for the most significant categories. Spend-based and activity-based estimation for categories where primary data is unavailable, with transparent documentation of the methodology and emission factors applied.

Automated data pipelines from energy management systems, smart meters, and utility provider APIs. IoT sub-meter data ingestion via Modbus TCP and BACnet protocols connects building-level meters and process equipment directly to the carbon account without manual data export. Integration with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure, Siemens Desigo, and building automation systems. Utility bill OCR using AWS Textract processes PDF invoices from electricity, gas, and water suppliers -- extracting consumption quantities and tariff details automatically where API access to the utility is unavailable. Utility provider API connections for electricity, natural gas, water, and district heat. Interval data processing for high-frequency meter reads where hourly or 15-minute data is available. For Scope 2, emission factors are drawn from the EPA eGRID database for US grid regions, DEFRA conversion factors for UK operations, and the ECOINVENT database for process lifecycle data -- applied using both location-based and market-based methods as GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance requires. Data quality monitoring flags gaps, anomalies, and meter failures before they create holes in the carbon account.

Fleet emissions tracking from telematics systems -- fuel consumption and distance by vehicle, by driver, and by journey type. Integration with fleet management platforms (Samsara, Verizon Connect, Geotab) and fuel card providers. Business travel emissions from corporate booking tools and expense systems -- air miles converted to emissions using DEFRA or ICAO methodology, hotel nights, and ground transport. Employee commuting surveys and home-working carbon calculations for remote workforce. The travel and transport emissions categories that are often significant but rarely tracked systematically.

Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned carbon reduction pathways with annual milestones tracked against actual emissions performance. The platform models both 1.5-degree and well-below-2-degree Net Zero pathways so you can see how your current trajectory compares against the standard your investors or customers may require. Absolute reduction targets and intensity targets (emissions per unit of revenue or production) tracked in parallel. Variance analysis when emissions performance diverges from the target pathway -- identifying which facilities, business units, or emission categories are driving the variance. CDP climate questionnaire response automation pulls emissions data and reduction target progress directly from the platform into the standard CDP response format, reducing the manual effort of completing the annual disclosure. EU Taxonomy activity alignment tagging links emission reduction initiatives to the relevant environmental objectives so sustainability reports can demonstrate taxonomy alignment. Reduction initiative tracking links specific decarbonisation projects to their expected and actual emissions impact. The management view that makes carbon targets operational rather than aspirational.

A complete audit trail for every emissions figure: source data record, emission factor applied, calculation methodology, and the person who approved the figure for reporting. Evidence file management linking supporting documentation -- energy invoices, fuel receipts, supplier emissions certificates -- to the emissions records they support. Third-party verifier access with read-only views of the audit trail and supporting evidence. For organisations required to report under CSRD, the platform produces ESRS E1 climate change disclosures structured to meet the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, including gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 breakdowns. XBRL and iXBRL tagging prepares emissions disclosures in machine-readable format for SEC climate disclosure submissions where required. Carbon offset retirement records are tracked through registry integration -- Gold Standard and VERRA VCS registry APIs confirm retirement status and credit vintage so offset claims in the carbon account are verifiable. Version control for emission factor updates and methodology changes allows prior-period restatements to be calculated and documented when factors change. The verification infrastructure meets GHG Programme requirements for third-party assurance at reasonable assurance or limited assurance level.
