FAQ

ZeroCarbon is an enterprise carbon accounting and compliance platform that helps organizations measure, report, and responsibly neutralize their emissions. We combine automated invoice OCR measurement with clear disclosure reporting and verifiable cryptographic action, making carbon accountability straightforward, audit-ready, and trustworthy.

ZeroCarbon offers automated Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon accounting ledgers, AI document OCR for utility and fuel bills, compliance reporting (BRSR, GHG Protocol, CSRD, CDP), reduction scenario forecasting, verified registry offset management (Verra VCS, Gold Standard), and cryptographic SHA-256 data lineage.

Our AI Assistant provides conversational sustainability intelligence, emission factor lookups, regulatory guidance, and decarbonization advice. It is trained on GHG Protocol standards, SEBI guidelines, and international climate taxonomies to help sustainability teams make data-driven decisions rapidly.

Carbon accounting measures greenhouse gas emissions across three scopes: Scope 1 (direct fuel combustion, fleet, and fugitive emissions), Scope 2 (purchased electricity, heating, and cooling), and Scope 3 (value chain spend, supplier operations, logistics, business travel, and product lifecycle). Our engine automatically converts operational activity data into CO₂e metrics using official emission factors.

We support GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting Standard, ISO 14064-1, WBCSD PACT v3.0 Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) exchange, SEBI BRSR Core (India), UK DEFRA 2025, US EPA eGRID, CEA India Grid Baseline Database (v20.0), and IPCC AR6 Assessment Reports.

Our multimodal AI OCR engine extracts raw activity data directly from utility power bills, diesel receipts, natural gas manifests, and ERP purchase orders with 99.4% bounding-box extraction precision, completely eliminating manual spreadsheet data entry.

We work exclusively with premier global carbon registries including Verra (Verified Carbon Standard / VCS), Gold Standard, and Plan Vivo. All climate projects are independently third-party verified, additionality-tested, and tracked with transparent documentation of their environmental permanence.

ZeroCarbon attaches an immutable SHA-256 cryptographic provenance hash to every calculation. This creates an unalterable audit trail linking the reported metric back to the exact source document, page number, pixel coordinates, and emission factor timestamp, preventing double-counting and greenwashing.

We support verified high-durability projects across solar and wind renewable energy, nature-based afforestation, blue carbon coastal wetland restoration, clean cookstove distribution, and biochar carbon removal. Each project provides public monitoring reports and verifiable credit retirement serials.

Yes, ZeroCarbon generates 1-click audit-ready disclosure reports for SEBI BRSR Core (KPIs 1-3 for top listed enterprises in India), GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, CSRD (ESRS E1), SEC Climate Disclosures, and CDP climate questionnaires.

Absolutely. ZeroCarbon was purpose-built for statutory auditors and ESG assurance providers. Every figure includes calculation methodology logs, factor registry references, and original document snapshots so assurance teams can verify disclosures in hours instead of weeks.

We implement enterprise-grade security including SOC 2 Type II compliance, ISO/IEC 27001 certification, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and tenant-level database isolation. Customer financial and emissions data is never shared or used to train external AI models.

Your data is private by default. You have complete granular control via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to designate specific viewing, editing, and auditing permissions for internal teams, sustainability officers, and external assurance partners.

ZeroCarbon provides multi-entity and multi-facility organizational structures, automated currency/unit conversions, ERP connectors, bulk ingestion pipelines, and dedicated enterprise SLA support capable of scaling from single-site operations to multinational holding companies.

Yes, ZeroCarbon offers pre-built connectors for SAP S/4HANA, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, alongside automated SFTP batch sync and fully documented REST APIs and TypeScript SDKs.
