Carbon Analytics

Carbon Analytics (CarbonAnalytics) is a UK-based software company offering a guided carbon assessment and carbon accounting platform. The self-service product is positioned for small and medium-sized enterprises and covers Scope 1, Scope 2 and all 15 Scope 3 categories under the GHG Protocol. Functionality spans automated data collection, emission factor mapping, real-time dashboards and multi-location tracking, supply chain and supplier engagement tools, hotspot analysis, and reporting and analytics, including templates aligned with CDP, GRI, SBTi and EU CSRD as well as GHG Protocol and EU ETS disclosures.

The company describes an AI-first approach in which automated ingestion and validation of data reduce manual effort, together with anomaly detection and predictive analytics used for forecasting and decarbonisation roadmaps. Data sources cited include utility bills, corporate spend, freight invoices and employee travel, ingested through pre-built integrations with ERP, travel and expense, procurement and logistics systems, or through a RESTful API. The platform's calculation methodology is described as built on GHG Protocol, ISO 14064 and SBTi frameworks with full data lineage. Company materials state that the platform is a software tool rather than a professional accounting, auditing or verification service, and recommend independent third-party verification of calculations before official reporting.
