Climatiq

Emission factor database and calculation API that developers embed into products for carbon footprint calculations.

Visit Climatiq Alternatives

Climatiq is infrastructure rather than an end-user accounting suite: it is an emission-factor database and calculation API that other software products embed to power their own carbon-footprint features. It exposes a large library of public and licensed emission factors (including DEFRA, EPA, ecoinvent, IEA and CarbonMinds datasets on paid tiers), covering GHG Protocol Scope 1, 2 and 3 methodologies. A separate product-carbon-footprint (PCF) workflow uses AI-assisted bill-of-materials mapping and gap-filling to produce ISO 14067-documented footprints for individual products. Because it is API-first, Climatiq is typically chosen by platform teams building carbon features into fintech, procurement or logistics software rather than by sustainability teams looking for a standalone dashboard.

Terms to know

Data quality The degree to which data is accurate, complete, consistent and fit for the purpose it is being used for. Carbon accounting Measuring, tracking and reporting an organization's greenhouse gas emissions in standardized units of CO2-equivalent. Emissions factor A standard value converting a unit of activity, such as fuel burned, into the greenhouse gases it produces.
