Open Climate AI
Open Climate AI provides an AI-powered platform that automatically maps procurement ledger line items to GHG-compliant emission factors, eliminating manual, error-prone Scope 3 carbon accounting. The platform reads files of any shape without templates, converts units and currencies automatically, and provides transparent, auditable reasoning for every match. It is built on a free, open library of over 3.1 million standardized emission factor values from 83 public libraries, and integrates with existing carbon accounting tools.

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. The company also maintains a free, open library of standardized emission factors that users can search and download.
Target Audience
Primary customers are corporate sustainability teams, climate consultants, and software vendors who need to automate Scope 3 GHG accounting and accelerate their carbon reporting workflows.
