CarbonTiers product catalogue · 10 live tools

Start with the boundary.
Then choose the right tool.

CarbonTiers separates source-category calculation, integrated inventory management, corporate accounting, city reporting and EU ETS compliance into focused products. CarbonTrack MRV Pro documents the monitoring and verification cycle, while the new CarbonTrack ETS workbook covers free allocation, the compliance position against verified emissions and carbon cost across price scenarios. Compare their purpose, standards and coverage before you begin.

The quickest way to choose

What is your reporting boundary?

A source category, a full national inventory, an organisation, a city and an EU ETS installation require different accounting structures. The cards below route each boundary to the correct workspace, including the new CarbonTrack ETS allowance, compliance and carbon-cost workbook.

Source-category calculation

Choose an IPCC sector tool

For a defined energy, industrial, agriculture, land-use or waste calculation, its multi-year inventory and its mitigation scenarios.

National or multi-sector inventory

Choose Integrated Inventory

For all five IPCC sectors in a shared workspace, with key category analysis, cross-sector QA/QC and the CRT / BTR reporter.

Organisation boundary

Choose CarbonTrack

For a company’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint under the GHG Protocol.

Community or city boundary

Choose CityCarbon

For a municipality’s GPC inventory, SECAP reporting, target tracking and mitigation scenario planning.

ETS monitoring and verification

Choose MRV Pro

For an installation’s monitoring plan, tier management and verification-readiness dossier.

ETS allowances and carbon cost

Choose CarbonTrack ETS

For free allocation, the compliance position against verified emissions and carbon-cost scenarios.

01 · Source-category tools

Five focused tools for the IPCC inventory sectors.

Use a sector tool when the work starts with a defined source category or facility dataset. Each tool combines Tier 1/2/3 calculation with a multi-year inventory series; Energy, IPPU, Agriculture and Waste add scenario modelling across 82 mitigation options. LULUCF is an inventory and carbon-accounting workspace built on a 6×6 land-use change matrix and does not include a scenario module.

03 · Purpose-built boundaries

Corporate and city accounting are not IPCC sector modules.

An organisation and a community have different consolidation rules, scopes and reporting templates. CarbonTrack and CityCarbon therefore operate as dedicated products with independent licences.

What it calculates

Scope 1 (stationary, mobile, process, fugitive); location- and market-based Scope 2 plus steam, heat and cooling; all 15 Scope 3 categories including PCAF financed emissions; group consolidation and effective ownership; the Scope 1 gas-level breakdown, intensity metrics and a per-scope data-quality score; CBAM/ETS cost projections and an IFRS S2-format climate disclosure annex.

EU ETS · allocation and compliance

CarbonTrack ETS — Allowance, Compliance & Carbon Cost Workbook

Answer the three questions an ETS installation actually has to budget for: how many allowances are we entitled to, how large is the gap against verified emissions, and what does that gap cost. Built on the EU ETS rulebook: Annex I scope, FAR benchmarks and the CBAM free-allocation phase-out.

What it calculates

Scope test against the Annex I thresholds (25,000 tCO₂e / 20 MW), sub-installation split, benchmark-based preliminary allocation, activity-level corrections against the 15% threshold, compliance position against verified emissions, banking and the flexibility rules the regime actually permits, the EUR 100 per-allowance penalty exposure, indirect carbon cost compensation, and carbon cost across allowance price scenarios.

Shared platform foundation

Different boundaries, one quality standard.

Every CarbonTiers workspace is designed around transparent methods, traceable data and outputs that remain useful outside the platform.

Methodology visible

Calculation method, factor source, GWP version and reporting boundary stay explicit.

Tier-aware workflows

Move from defaults to country, technology or facility-specific data without changing tools.

Structured outputs

Export tables, charts and reports built for review, handover and continued analysis.

Focused workspaces

Each product shows only the modules relevant to its accounting boundary and purpose.

New — Organisations

Every product works for a team, not just one seat.

Whichever product you license, it comes with seats for colleagues. Invite them by email and they open the same tools under your licence — no second subscription.

Seats come with the plan

On top of you: Pro plans add one seat, the corporate tools two, and the bundles three. Add more at any time for the same term as your licence.

Sharing files is free

Invite as many people as you like to view a workbook — a client or an auditor never costs you a seat. Seats only govern who can open the tools.

Nobody loses work

If two people edit the same workbook, the platform warns you before anything is overwritten.

Still deciding?

Start free, then license only the boundary you need.
