Carbon Glance

Core Features

Carbon Glance builds its methodology around the EU’s CBAM regulatory structure, treating emissions reporting and carbon cost exposure through a centralised interface that supports declarants and manufacturers alike. Its workflows are designed to reflect the CBAM processes of data collection, emissions calculation, and generation of compliant reporting outputs. Its main features include:

• Supplier data collection — Invite suppliers to submit emissions data via structured requests, track responses, and centralize incomplete or missing submissions to help ensure full datasets for CBAM reporting.

• Automated CBAM reporting — Streamline the creation and export of compliant CBAM report files with uploads of data and templates, saving manual effort and reducing the risk of errors in regulatory filings.

• Carbon cost analytics — Monitor real-time CBAM reference prices from market feeds and estimate liabilities over time, helping teams understand the financial impact of carbon pricing on imported goods.

• CBAM certificate management — Track purchased and surrendered certificates as part of compliance workflows, linking emissions outputs to economic obligations under CBAM.

• Installation emissions oversight — Visualize and calculate emissions by installation through schematic diagrams and data uploads, with drill-down tables showing direct, indirect, and total embedded emissions for each product category.

• Supplier engagement tracking — See which suppliers have provided emissions data, send automated or manual follow-ups, and maintain audit trails of all requests and interactions to support internal governance and external verification.

Closing Insights

Carbon Glance was developed to tackle the specific challenges of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which adds a carbon price to imported goods based on embedded emissions—a complex task that spans global supplier engagement, emissions calculation, and regulatory reporting. The platform’s founders and advisors combine expertise in carbon pricing, climate law, and technical compliance, aligning the product with the detailed requirements of CBAM rather than general ESG reporting. It supports both sides of the supply chain: importers preparing filings and suppliers/manufacturers capturing their emissions data.

Pricing tiers include options for small importers to enterprise deployments with supplier management and support. Potential users in and outside the EU can benefit from Carbon Glance where accurate CBAM compliance and cost forecasting matter most, particularly as the definitive CBAM phase approaches.
