How does Carbondeck protect my data when using AI-powered Agents (AI Agents Plan)?
Data Privacy and Security
AI Agents in Carbondeck’s AI Agents Plan are built to assist with tasks — not to store, exploit, or expose your data.
Here's how we ensure privacy and security:
AI in Carbondeck works like a delegated teammate — efficient, compliant, and never overreaching.
Here's how we ensure privacy and security:
●
No data is used to train third-party models: Your files, emissions data, and activity inputs remain securely within Carbondeck’s environment and are never shared externally.
●
Agent actions are traceable and transparent: Every AI action (e.g. data extraction, report generation) is logged and visible to users. You stay in control of what’s processed and published.
●
Secure infrastructure: All data processed by AI Agents is protected with end-to-end encryption and stored in compliance with GDPR, KVKK, and other regional data regulations.
●
User-level permission control: Only authorized users can trigger AI tasks, and actions are limited to your assigned facilities and roles.

What is a net zero target and how can companies achieve it?
Emission Reduction
A net zero target commits to reducing GHG emissions as close to zero as possible, and neutralizing any remaining emissions through credible removals. Companies achieve it by measuring their full carbon footprint (Scope 1–3), setting reduction targets, decarbonizing operations and supply chains, and using carbon removal only for what cannot be eliminated.
Which standards are used for carbon reporting?
Regulatory Compliance
The most widely used carbon reporting standards are the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, which define how emissions should be measured, categorized, and disclosed. In addition, frameworks like CDP, SBTi, and IFRS S2 are commonly used for voluntary and regulatory reporting — depending on stakeholder or regional requirements.
What are carbon emissions and why do they matter?
Getting Started
Carbon emissions are greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, mainly from human activities like energy use and transportation. They contribute directly to climate change.
How can I customize emission factors in Carbondeck? And what is the benefit of this feature to my calculation?
GHG Accounting
Emission factor (EF) customization is available in Booster, AI Agents, and Enterprise plans — allowing you to tailor calculations to reflect specific suppliers, regions, or operational details. This is essential for improving the accuracy and credibility of your GHG inventory, especially if you operate in regulated sectors or have unique emission sources.
Custom EFs give you full control over how emissions are calculated — ensuring traceability, sector alignment, and compatibility with local regulations or audit requirements.

●
In Booster Plan, you can manually define custom EFs using the EF Customization Form. You'll enter details like activity name, source, year, region, unit, scope, and uncertainty — and assign them to specific facilities and emission categories.
●
In AI Agents Plan, EF matching is largely automated: the Climate Analyst Agent selects the most appropriate factor from a database of over 500,000 entries. However, you can still define and prioritize your own custom factors when supplier-specific or internal data is available.
●
In Enterprise Plan, all customization features are supported, with the added benefit of onboarding assistance and configuration support. This allows complex organizations to apply internal methodologies or custom validation logic if needed.

How do science-based targets (SBTi) support carbon reduction plans?
Emission Reduction
Science-Based Targets (SBTs) provide companies with a clear, externally validated pathway to reduce emissions in line with climate science — specifically the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
By grounding targets in scientific thresholds, SBTs prevent greenwashing and ensure reductions are meaningful, measurable, and aligned with global climate goals.
The SBTi framework helps organizations:
SBTs serve as the bridge between ambition and accountability — and many disclosure frameworks (CDP, CSRD, IFRS) now expect companies to follow them.
By grounding targets in scientific thresholds, SBTs prevent greenwashing and ensure reductions are meaningful, measurable, and aligned with global climate goals.
The SBTi framework helps organizations:
●
Set emission reduction goals for Scope 1, 2, and 3 based on sectoral benchmarks
●
Define timelines and reduction percentages consistent with decarbonization pathways
●
Gain credibility with investors, customers, and regulators by committing to verified action
SBTs serve as the bridge between ambition and accountability — and many disclosure frameworks (CDP, CSRD, IFRS) now expect companies to follow them.
What are the main sources of carbon emissions?
Getting Started
Key sources include fossil fuel use (energy, heating, transport), industrial processes, agriculture, and waste.
How is carbon management done according to standards like ISO 14064 or the GHG Protocol?
Regulatory Compliance
Standards like GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 provide a structured framework for measuring, managing, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. They guide organizations to:
1. Define boundaries (organizational and operational)
2. Categorize emissions into Scope 1, 2, and 3 (GHG)
3. Collect activity data and apply recognized emission factors
4. Document methodologies and ensure data traceability
5. Disclose results in a transparent, verifiable format
Carbondeck is built to follow these standards by default — from data input to report generation — ensuring that your carbon accounting aligns with international best practices and is ready for assurance or regulatory use.

What are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Is it only about carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)?
GHG Accounting
GHG emissions include CO2 but also gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), all of which trap heat in the atmosphere.
