About CarbonSig & What It Does

What is CarbonSig?

CarbonSig is carbon accounting software that helps businesses track and report their carbon footprint. Our AI-powered platform automates the complex work—you simply describe your products or processes, and the system builds your carbon tracking infrastructure automatically.

How is this different from using Excel or spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets are prone to errors and become difficult to manage as data complexity increases. CarbonSig automates calculations, maintains data organization, and provides instant carbon footprint visibility. Additionally, our AI can analyze your data and suggest emission reduction strategies—capabilities that spreadsheets cannot provide.

Do I need to be an expert in carbon accounting?

No prior expertise in carbon accounting is required. CarbonSig is designed for users at all levels of experience. Our AI provides step-by-step guidance throughout the process, and our support team is available to assist with any questions.

What carbon scopes does CarbonSig cover?

CarbonSig supports comprehensive carbon accounting across all three scopes:

  • Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources you own or control
  • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, and cooling
  • Scope 3: All other indirect emissions in your value chain, including suppliers, transportation, waste, and product use

What is the AI-Powered System Builder?

The AI-Powered System Builder is CarbonSig's core feature that automatically creates your carbon tracking system. You describe your products, processes, or operations in natural language or upload relevant documents, and the AI constructs the appropriate system structure, identifies emission sources, and maps data flows—transforming what traditionally takes weeks into a process that takes hours.

Can CarbonSig help us set reduction targets?

Yes. CarbonSig provides insights into your emission sources and can help identify reduction opportunities. The platform enables you to model different scenarios, track progress toward targets, and measure the impact of reduction initiatives over time.

Does CarbonSig calculate product-level carbon footprints or just company-level?

CarbonSig calculates carbon footprints at multiple levels—individual products, product lines, facilities, divisions, and company-wide. This granular approach enables you to understand emissions at the level most relevant to your business needs and reporting requirements.
