How Carbon Accounting Pro works
Carbon Accounting Pro helps businesses turn one reporting month of activity data into a clear carbon result, a practical monthly review workflow, and a stronger baseline for future comparisons.
Results are built from the activity data and emission factors you provide. Clean monthly inputs and correctly matched factors improve result quality, trust, and explainability.
At a glance
What this workflow is designed to do
- Turn one clean reporting month into a usable carbon baseline
- Show Scope 1, Scope 2, total emissions, and per-employee intensity
- Support monthly review through Dashboard, Reports, and Monthly Tracker
- Improve decision value as more reporting months are added over time
2. How calculations work
Simple, traceable monthly calculations
- Scope 1 is calculated from fuel activity and fuel factor
- Scope 2 is calculated from electricity activity and electricity factor
- Total emissions combine Scope 1 and Scope 2
- Emissions per employee is shown when employee count is provided
3. Why factor matching matters
Factor quality drives result credibility
- Electricity factors should match the selected reporting method
- Fuel factors should match the exact fuel used
- Recognized sources improve trust and later explanation
- Consistency month to month improves comparison usefulness

4. Why one month matters
One clean month is enough to begin
The first saved reporting month becomes your carbon baseline. That gives you a usable starting point immediately, even before you have longer history.
Adding later months improves month-to-month comparison strength, trend confidence, and management value. Consistency of inputs is more useful than false precision.
