nZero

Core Features

nZero is an end to end carbon and energy intelligence platform that emphasizes high frequency meter level data so organizations can move from annual estimates to daily and often hourly decision making. It automates data capture from utilities, Internet of Things sensors, fuel cards and telematics, and Enterprise Resource Planning systems. It quantifies Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and provides location and time specific electricity emissions so teams can shift load, procure cleaner energy, and validate progress. Reporting workflows support major frameworks, including the Carbon Disclosure Project, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, International Sustainability Standards Board, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, keeping teams audit ready while they decarbonize.

Automated data ingestion and Quality Assurance: Continuous utility meter ingestion, API and file connectors for electricity, gas, water, fuels, and transport data. Automated validations, data lineage, deduplication, and audit logs so results are traceable without spreadsheets.

Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 accounting aligned to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: Location-based and market-based Scope 2 with hourly or sub-hourly grid intensity factors where available. Scope 3 coverage across common categories with pathways to move from spend-based to activity-based data as better inputs arrive.

24 7 carbon and energy insights: Time of use analytics, operational dashboards, and alerts that highlight when and where emissions intensity is highest so you can shift processes, schedule loads, and optimize purchasing of Energy Attribute Certificates such as Renewable Energy Certificates and Guarantees of Origin.

Supplier, fleet, and facilities coverage: Tools to bring in supplier activity data, plus fleet modules that ingest fuel cards and telematics for route-level insights. Facilities integrations with building systems help attribute usage to sites, meters, and end uses.

Scenario modeling and procurement planning: Model the impact of renewable procurement, storage, efficiency projects, and load shifting on emissions and cost. Compare marginal versus average grid factors and evaluate carbon-free energy matching targets.

Reporting and disclosures: One dataset outputs for CDP, CSRD, ISSB, SEC, Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, and UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, with exportable evidence packs for assurance.

Security, governance, and sharing: Role-based access, data residency options, API access for data lakes and business intelligence tools, and shareable views for internal stakeholders and partners.

Recent product focus: Expanded hourly grid emissions coverage and carbon-free energy scorecards, enhanced meter connectivity and transport data pipelines, and faster export packages for audit and disclosures.

Closing insights

nZero is a strong fit for operations-heavy organizations such as cities, campuses, real estate portfolios, transportation networks, and industrials where when and where you use energy materially changes your emissions. Its edge is granular the clock data that turns decarbonization into an operational discipline rather than an annual reporting exercise. In a demo, confirm the exact meter and telematics coverage for your regions, how hourly factors are sourced and updated, which Scope 3 categories they support out of the box, and how evidence is packaged for assurance. If your primary need is supplier survey programs and deep supply chain engagement, compare nZero to platforms built around supplier workflows. If your priority is operational control, time-based insights, and clean energy procurement, nZero will likely stand out. Pricing is typically quote-based and scales with data sources, sites, vehicles, users, and disclosure requirements. Arrive with a clear year one scope to speed up contracting.
