About CarbonTrace

Carbon clarity for everyday IT.
Built for real decisions.

CarbonTrace exists to make useful carbon information part of everyday work: choosing a device, answering a customer or reporting an IT inventory.

25 calculations per month, free. No credit card needed.

Why we built CarbonTrace.

An IT carbon estimate should come with an explanation.

Device information is scattered across manufacturer publications, technical specifications and spreadsheets. CarbonTrace brings it into one repeatable workflow, while keeping the difference between a published footprint and a modelled estimate visible. The aim is practical: help people make and explain better IT decisions.

The principles behind the product.

Clear boundaries, useful output and sources you can inspect.

Show the basis

Keep device inputs, model choices and available source records with the result.

Make uncertainty visible

Label estimates and missing information. A precise-looking number should not hide the limits of the underlying data.

Make the first step accessible

Let people calculate a familiar device and inspect its methodology before choosing a paid plan.

Support both sides of the conversation

Help IT providers deliver useful information to customers and organizations understand their own inventory.

A result is useful when you can explain it.

The calculation is the starting point. Its assumptions, sources and reporting boundary determine how you can use it.

Sources, inputs and assumptions stay with the calculation
Production, transport, use and end of life remain visible
Results are shareable with customers, management or auditors
The same method works for one device and complete batches
Business adds reports and certificates under your brand
The API connects calculations and output to your own process

One product. Two everyday uses.

Customer work

IT providers

Calculations for quotes, tenders and deliveries

Internal reporting

Organizations

An IT inventory with its carbon impact

First step

One device

Calculate and inspect its methodology

Next step

Your workflow

Batches, reports and integrations by plan

Understand the sources. Review the scope.

Manufacturer publications and documented category models play different roles. Explore the source library and methodology to see which route supports a result, and what it can tell you.
