Neoni® App is a cloud-based carbon accounting platform designed to produce transparent and auditable greenhouse gas emissions inventories by applying financial accounting principles to emissions data. Originating from a Scottish Government innovation challenge won in 2021, the first public iteration of the software (Neoni® Borealis) evolved into Neoni® App, with a beta release available for industry testing. The platform uses a recursive allocation approach aligned with the E-Ledger Method to calculate direct and indirect emissions across complex value chains and supports reporting aligned with major frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, ISO standards, and the Science Based Targets initiative. and PCAF. Neoni® App integrates financial data, engages suppliers for primary emissions inputs, and identifies emissions hotspots to inform decarbonisation strategy. Positioned for organisations seeking methodological rigor and auditability beyond traditional carbon footprinting.

Core Features

  • Ledger-Based Carbon Accounting: Neoni® App applies financial accounting logic to carbon measurement, using a recursive, ledger-style methodology aligned with E-Ledger principles. This enables emissions to be tracked, allocated, and reviewed with transparency and consistency.

  • Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions Accounting: The platform supports comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Its recursive allocation helps improve traceability of indirect emissions across complex supply chains.

  • Financial Data–Driven Emissions Mapping: By importing financial and transactional data from accounting systems, organisations can link emissions to specific purchases, suppliers, and cost centres, creating emissions accounts rooted in economic activity.

  • Supplier Data Integration & Engagement: Neoni® App allows organisations to invite suppliers to contribute primary emissions data, enhancing the accuracy of Scope 3 calculations while maintaining confidentiality where needed.

  • Reduced Reliance on Average Emission Factors: Prioritising transactional and supplier-specific data reduces dependence on static industry average emission factors, yielding more representative and decision-relevant emissions results.

  • Emissions Hotspot Identification:
    Analytical dashboards highlight structural emissions drivers and hotspots across operations and value chains, assisting users in prioritising decarbonisation actions based on material impact.

  • Standards-Aligned Reporting Outputs: Outputs are designed to align with major international frameworks, including the GHG Protocol, ISO standards, SBTi, and PCAF, enabling reuse across regulatory, voluntary and financial reporting contexts.

  • Auditability & Data Integrity: Auditability is a core design principle, with emissions accounts generated using transparent and statistically rigorous allocation logic, supporting internal governance and external assurance processes.

Plans & Pricing

Neoni® App is offered as a cloud-based SaaS solution and is currently available in public beta following a Scottish Government innovation contract. A free tier allows users to explore the platform and its methodology, while paid plans grant access to advanced features such as expanded analytics, supplier engagement workflows, actionable decarbonisation insights, and enhanced reporting capabilities. Pricing details are not publicly disclosed and appear to be tailored based on organisation size, data complexity, and service requirements.

Integrations

The platform is designed to work with existing financial and accounting systems. Neoni® App supports importing transaction data, typically via CSV exports, from enterprise resource planning (ERP) or accounting software. While no specific native integrations are publicly documented, this import approach enables compatibility with a broad range of financial systems that can produce structured transaction exports.

Certifications & Awards

Neoni® App emerged from a government innovation initiative: the Scottish Government’s CivTech challenge focused on technology solutions to help manufacturing decarbonise. The project was awarded a contract to build the Neoni® software and was showcased at COP26 in Glasgow. While demonstrative of innovation recognition, no formal third-party certifications (such as B Corp or ISO certifications) are publicly listed for the software itself at this time.

Expert Voices & Reviews

The underlying ledger-based approach aligns with academic advances in carbon accounting methodology, with the E-Ledger Method having been articulated in parallel by thought leaders in the field. Neoni® App’s founders and associated experts have advocated for the application of financial accounting principles to carbon data, arguing for auditability and statistical consistency. Independent product reviews remain limited, reflecting its early market stage.

Customers & Case Studies

Detailed public case studies for Neoni® App are not yet widely available. Early usage has focused on pilot engagements and beta testing with organisations looking to enhance Scope 3 data credibility and evaluate alternative carbon accounting methodologies. Users interested in advanced emissions analytics and auditability appear to form the core early adopter group.

Closing Insights

From a Net Zero Compare perspective, Neoni® App represents a methodologically ambitious platform that directly addresses persistent challenges in conventional carbon accounting, especially around the consistency and auditability of Scope 3 emissions. Its ledger-style allocation and financial data grounding set it apart from tools that rely heavily on averages and proxies.

The platform is particularly suitable for organisations with substantial data maturity, complex supply chains, and heightened demands for methodological rigor, such as large enterprises, financial institutions, and bodies preparing for rigorous climate disclosures. However, its current beta status, limited public case studies, and non-standardised integrations suggest it may be less suitable for organisations seeking rapid, highly automated footprinting with minimal configuration.

Overall, Neoni® App is a forward-looking option for users prioritising transparency and analytical depth over simplified reporting, positions that could become increasingly important as climate regulation and assurance expectations evolve.
