Problem
Corporate sustainability teams and consultants spend countless hours manually matching thousands of procurement line items to emission factors, a process that is error-prone, time-consuming, and often requires specialized expertise. This manual effort slows down GHG accounting, particularly for Scope 3 emissions, and creates a bottleneck for companies trying to meet net-zero targets.
Solution
open-climate.ai uses AI agents to automatically map procurement items to GHG-compliant emission factors from published libraries like ecoinvent, Agribalyse, and EXIOBASE. The platform reads any file shape without templates or cleanup, converts units and currencies automatically, and flags ambiguous items for human review. Results can be pushed directly into existing carbon accounting tools, and the entire process is transparent and auditable, with the AI's reasoning visible for every match. The platform supports multi-lingual input across all European languages and follows the GHG Protocol, ensuring compliance and accuracy.
