Tools and Databases

We offer carbon footprinting and life-cycle assessment (LCA) tools, life-cycle inventory (LCI) databases, and simulators. Our tools are designed to easily model, quantify and generate insights about the climate impacts of business operations, products, materials and processes.

CarbonScope

Our new flagship carbon modeling tool that can do everything from corporate greenhouse gas inventories to product carbon footprints and LCAs. Includes CarbonScopeData as the underlying LCI database. Available through subscription.

CarbonScopeData

Comprehensive LCI database comprised of both process LCI (PLCI) and environmentally extended input-output LCI (EEIOLCI) data. The PLCI portion contains over 1400 materials, products and processes. The EEIOLCI portion contains data for 385 US goods and services. The database is integral to all of our LCA and GHG tools. Available as part of CarbonScope for browsing and separately through an API for app developers. 

FoodCarbonScope

Industry-leading food LCA tool capable of easily modeling full life cycles of food and agricutural products. Includes CarbonScopeData as the underlying LCI database. Available through subscription.

FoodEmissions

Food carbon calculator appropriate for simplified LCAs of food supply chains. Based on a subset of CarbonScopeData. The tool is free to use.

ClimateSim

Fast and simple climate simulator. Allows users to model scenarios of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the current century and simulates the first-order response of the earth system. Perfect for getting a better understanding and working knowledge of the basics of climate science. Appropriate for high-school/undergraduate students, teachers, journalists and policymakers. The tool is free to use.
