Carbon & Compliance Calculators.
Explore GHG quantities, CCTS intensity gaps, 2026 CBAM exposure, and scheme-specific EPR procurement using transparent formulas and documented inputs.
Define the Boundary. Keep the Evidence.
These planning tools calculate continuously from your inputs. They require an established accounting boundary, applicable legal classification, verified factors or adjustments, and eligible certificates. Results support preparation and scenario review; statutory filings require the applicable verification and reconciliation process.

European Central BankSources are retrieved on demand and cached for up to one hour. CBAM prices apply by 2026 import quarter. ECB reference rates update on working days and are used here for planning conversions. CCTS and EPR require dated eligible quotes. Emission factors are publication- and period-specific inputs.
Method review: 9 November 2026 · version 2026-11-09.2. Public results are indicative and rounded to two significant figures. Member reports use full precision calculations with exact decimal data in downloads. Official reference rates below are shown as published. Unentered scopes are not evidence of zero emissions.
Activity-based inventory
GHG Emissions
Build an activity-based inventory using factors appropriate to your geography, period, and accounting boundary. Monetary exposure can be assessed in the relevant compliance module.
Keep each row’s activity unit identical to the factor denominator. A factor already expressed as CO₂e includes its GWP conversion. A gas-mass factor needs a matching, documented GWP. Use separate inventories for location- and market-based Scope 2; dual reporting applies where required. Market-based instruments must meet the Scope 2 Quality Criteria. Report biogenic CO₂ outside the scopes; biogenic CH₄/N₂O remain in the applicable scope. Never subtract offsets or avoided emissions from this gross inventory.
Calculation basis
Each row = activity × factor × mass conversion × GWP where needed. Sum included rows by scope; separately reported biogenic CO₂ is excluded from those totals. Kilograms are divided by 1,000 to obtain tonnes. Use CO₂-only factors only for the gas coverage they document.
India · compliance mechanism
CCTS Intensity & Certificate Planning
Use the entity’s notified product-equivalent output and target. This evaluates a compliance-mechanism quantity; project-based offset issuance requires its own approved methodology.
Calculation basis
Gross shortfall = max(0, actual intensity − notified target intensity) × equivalent output. Potential over-performance reverses the intensity difference. Eligible bank use is capped at the gross shortfall. Estimated procurement = remaining shortfall × quoted price.

CBAM Exposure
Estimate one product/route/quarter at a time using established CBAM-specific embedded emissions and a verified specific free-allocation adjustment. Aggregate annual import mass is needed to screen the threshold.
Selected certificate priceNot availableNo validated published value retrieved for this quarter.
Calculation basis
Gross certificate quantity = Q × max(0, SEE − SEFA). Estimated € exposure = max(0, gross quantity × applicable price − eligible paid-price deduction). Electricity uses SEFA = 0. The 50-tonne mass exemption is screened separately and does not extend to electricity or hydrogen.
India · scheme-specific certificate planning
EPR Procurement Exposure
Use a portal-assessed obligation where available, or model a target scenario against the correct scheme baseline. Evaluate each waste stream, material, certificate unit, and compliance year separately.
Calculation basis
Remaining quantity = max(0, assessed obligation − eligible credited quantity). In scenario mode, obligation = applicable baseline × target %. Procurement estimate = remaining quantity × matched quote per unit. Separate schemes and material obligations are not pooled.
