About

Climatiq is a carbon intelligence platform designed to help businesses measure, manage, and embed carbon calculations into products, supply chains, and sustainability workflows. At its core, Climatiq offers a curated library of over 944,000 scientifically-vetted emission factors drawn from 140+ trusted datasets—including ecoinvent, EXIOBASE, and IEA—covering 300+ global regions and 16 economic sectors such as energy, transport, freight, IT, and waste. The platform is built around three primary tools: the **PCF Studio**, which enables manufacturers to generate standards-aligned product carbon footprints (PCFs) quickly and cost-effectively without external consultants; the **Data Studio**, a no-code interface for sourcing, comparing, and exporting emission factors for Excel, ERP systems, or any business tool; and the **Climatiq API Toolkit**, which allows developers to embed certified carbon calculations directly into software products. A standout feature is AI-powered emission factor mapping (Autopilot), which automatically matches business activities and products to the correct emission factors—eliminating manual mapping and reducing data preparation time dramatically. Climatiq is ideal for sustainability teams, product managers, developers building green software, manufacturers needing PCFs for RFPs, and enterprises requiring GHG Protocol-compliant scope 3 reporting. All emission factors are expressed in CO2e and validated by in-house scientists, making Climatiq a reliable system of record for corporate carbon accounting.

Key Features

944,000+ Scientifically-Vetted Emission Factors: Access a continuously updated library of emission factors from 140+ trusted datasets (ecoinvent, EXIOBASE, IEA) covering 300+ regions and 16 economic sectors, all GHG Protocol-compliant and expressed in CO2e.
AI-Powered Emission Factor Mapping (Autopilot): Automatically match activities and products to the correct emission factors using AI, eliminating manual mapping and complex data preparation workflows.
PCF Studio for Product Carbon Footprints: Generate standards-aligned product carbon footprints in minutes rather than months—without expensive consultants—to meet RFP requirements and regulatory reporting needs.
Carbon Intelligence API: Embed certified scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon calculations directly into any software product via a well-documented REST API, enabling carbon intelligence at scale.
Data Studio No-Code Interface: Source, compare, and export emission factors directly into Excel, ERP systems, or other business tools without writing code, enabling consistent and accurate sustainability reporting.

Use Cases

A manufacturer uses PCF Studio to generate product carbon footprints for their entire product range to respond to RFP sustainability requirements without hiring external ESG consultants.
A SaaS company integrates the Climatiq API into their procurement software to automatically calculate and display scope 3 emissions for purchased goods and services in real time.
A corporate sustainability team uses Data Studio to source and export GHG Protocol-compliant emission factors into their existing Excel-based reporting workflows.
A logistics platform embeds Climatiq's freight and shipping emission calculations to provide customers with per-shipment carbon footprint data directly in their dashboard.
An enterprise ESG team uses Climatiq's AI-powered Autopilot to automatically map thousands of supplier activities to emission factors, reducing scope 3 data preparation from weeks to hours.

Pros

Massive, Trusted Dataset: With 944,000+ emission factors from 140+ sources validated by in-house scientists, Climatiq offers one of the most comprehensive and reliable carbon data libraries available.
Flexible Integration Options: Whether via REST API, Excel/ERP integrations, or the no-code Data Studio, Climatiq fits into virtually any existing business workflow without major technical overhead.
AI Automation Saves Time: The Autopilot feature dramatically reduces the time and expertise needed to map activities to emission factors, making scope 3 calculations accessible to non-experts.
Enterprise-Grade Trust: Trusted by Salesforce Net Zero Cloud and other large enterprises, Climatiq provides audit-ready, GHG Protocol-compliant outputs suitable for regulatory and investor reporting.

Cons

Pricing Lacks Transparency: Full pricing details for enterprise plans and PCF Studio require contacting sales, making it difficult for smaller teams to evaluate costs upfront.
Niche Use Case: Climatiq is purpose-built for carbon accounting and sustainability reporting, offering limited utility outside of environmental and ESG-focused workflows.
Learning Curve for Carbon Methodology: Getting the most out of the platform still requires some understanding of GHG Protocol, scope categorization, and emission factor selection, which may challenge non-specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Climatiq is a carbon intelligence platform providing emission factor data, calculation APIs, and no-code tools for manufacturers, software developers, and sustainability teams who need to measure and report carbon footprints accurately and at scale.

A PCF quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions across a product's lifecycle. Climatiq's PCF Studio automates this process using vetted data and AI-powered mapping, enabling manufacturers to produce standards-aligned PCFs quickly without hiring external consultants.

The Climatiq API is a REST API that allows developers to query emission factors and run carbon calculations programmatically. It supports scope 1, 2, and 3 calculations and integrates with any software platform, returning results in CO2e.

Climatiq aggregates data from 140+ trusted third-party datasets including ecoinvent, EXIOBASE, and IEA, as well as government and research sources across 300+ global regions. All factors are validated by Climatiq's in-house scientific team.

Climatiq offers free sign-up options including the Data Studio and a PCF Studio beta. Enterprise features, advanced API access, and custom integrations are available on paid plans—contact their sales team for pricing details.
