Solutions / GHG Protocol
Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory management.
Designed for alignment with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Full 15-category Scope 3, dual Scope 2 methods (market-based and location-based), and an audit trail that gives third-party verifiers the drill-down they need for limited assurance.
Scope coverage
All three scopes, one inventory.
Scope 1 — Direct emissions
Stationary combustion, mobile sources, process emissions, and fugitive releases. Supports multiple fuel types and activity-based input formats.
Scope 2 — Purchased energy
Both market-based and location-based methods calculated simultaneously. Residual mix factors and Energy Attribute Certificate tracking built in.
Scope 3 — Value chain
All 15 categories with documented spend-based and activity-based methods. Each category carries a data quality indicator and the source of the emission factor used — from Ecoinvent v3 for spend-based to DEFRA for freight and travel.
Scope 2 accounting
Market-based and location-based, side by side.
The GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance requires both methods when electricity purchasing contracts are in place. Carbonkindle calculates both simultaneously from the same input data and clearly labels which figure appears in each disclosure context.
- Location-based using national grid emission factors (EPA, IEA)
- Market-based using supplier-specific or residual mix factors
- EAC and renewable energy certificate tracking
- Multi-country support for companies with international facilities
Scope 2 comparison
Lower market-based figure reflects renewable energy purchases with valid EACs.
Third-party verification
Verification-ready by design.
The difference between a clean limited assurance statement and a qualified one often comes down to audit trail completeness. Carbonkindle is built so external verifiers can trace every figure without requesting additional documentation.
Verifier access portal
Read-only credentials for external assurance providers. No data export needed — the verifier works within Carbonkindle's traceable record.
Calculation drill-down
Every CO₂e figure links to: activity data, emission factor, source citation, GWP100 value applied, and the user who entered the data.
Change log and restatement record
Every data edit, emission factor update, and methodology change is timestamped and attributed. Year-over-year comparison table shows significant changes, their drivers, and any restatements — the record ISO 14064-1 verification requires.
