Carbon emissions estimation gets assembled manually each disclosure cycle. A Carbon Emissions Estimation Playbook reads operational data, spend categories, and emissions-factor data to estimate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions continuously for disclosure-grade reporting.
The Challenge
Carbon emissions get estimated once per year for disclosure. The estimate gets assembled from operational data, spend records, and emissions factors. Inside the year there is no rolling view, so opportunities to act on emissions trajectories surface too late to bend the curve.
Scope 3 emissions cover purchased goods, services, travel, and the upstream and downstream value chain. The estimate depends on mapping spend categories to emissions factors. Without continuous mapping refresh, the estimate drifts from current operational and supplier reality.
Disclosure-grade emissions estimates require traceable source data and reproducible methodology. Manual assembly produces estimates that are hard to audit and hard to repeat. The disclosure team carries audit risk every cycle.
How eyko Solves It
A Carbon Emissions Estimation Playbook reads operational data (energy, fuel, fleet, facility), spend records by category, and emissions-factor data (location-based, market-based) to estimate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions continuously. It surfaces in-flight trajectory, decomposes contributing drivers, and produces disclosure-grade estimates with traceable source data and reproducible methodology.
The Playbook estimated Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for the trailing 12 months and forecast the current year. Scope 1: 14,200 tCO2e (operational fuel and refrigerants). Scope 2: 38,400 tCO2e (electricity, location-based). Scope 3: 184,200 tCO2e (purchased goods, services, travel, value chain). Forecast year-end trajectory: 6% reduction against prior year, driven primarily by Scope 2 renewable-energy purchasing.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about Carbon Emissions Estimate.
Carbon Emissions Estimation is an AI-driven continuous estimate of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using operational data (energy, fuel, fleet, facility), spend records by category, and emissions-factor data (location-based, market-based). The Playbook surfaces in-flight trajectory, decomposes contributing drivers, and produces disclosure-grade estimates with traceable source data and reproducible methodology.
The Playbook reads from your ERP and procurement systems (spend records by category, supplier master), operational systems (energy, fuel, fleet, facility data), HR system (commuting and travel data where applicable), and external emissions-factor databases (location-based and market-based factors). At least 24 months of paired operational-and-emissions data anchors the estimate.
Annual emissions reporting is a backward-looking compliance exercise. Continuous emissions estimation produces in-flight trajectory and enables action on the trajectory before the year closes. The two are complementary, but continuous estimation is what supports forward planning and disclosure-quality protection.
Yes. The Playbook produces disclosure-grade estimates with traceable source data and reproducible methodology, which supports audit and assurance review for the major disclosure standards. The Scope 3 categorization aligns with the GHG Protocol corporate value-chain accounting standard. Source-data traceability allows assurance reviewers to follow each estimate back to its underlying operational or spend record.
