Flexible calculation from default factors to facility-specific advanced precision. Each module allows tier selection based on available data; inventory accuracy increases as you progress.

Excel & PDF Output

All calculation details are exported in report-ready Excel and PDF formats. Source-category breakdown tables, year-on-year comparisons and summary sheets are generated automatically.

Multi-Year Analysis

Multi-year trend analysis and scenario comparison are built in for the energy sector. For other sectors and corporate inventories, annual calculations can be run separately and compared.

GWP AR4 / AR5 / AR6

Switch between IPCC AR4 (2007), AR5 (2014) and AR6 (2021) assessment report GWP values with a single click. Full flexibility according to your reporting standard; all gases are converted automatically.
