CarbonChain

CarbonChain is a London- and New York-based carbon accounting platform founded in 2019 that is purpose-built for the highest-emitting, hardest-to- track commodity supply chains — metals and mining, energy, manufacturing, and agriculture. Its AI-assisted platform builds asset- and transaction- level emissions pictures using activity-based emission factors, and packages those calculations into modules for supply-chain emissions, corporate carbon footprints (Scope 1, 2, 3), product carbon footprints, scenario analysis, and regulatory compliance. The flagship CarbonChain Comply release ships a Carbon Reporting Hub aligned with EU CSRD, UK SECR, US SEC, and CDP, along with EU/UK CBAM declaration validation, automated CBAM XML generation, and a Supplier Engagement Module for collecting and validating supplier emissions data. CarbonChain Connect links producers and importers through shared installation-level CBAM infrastructure. The company is a CDP Accredited Provider (2024), is ISO 27001 certified, and is backed by Y Combinator, Union Square Ventures, Voyager VC, and Aera VC, with $10M Series A funding (2023). CarbonChain serves manufacturers, commodity traders, banks, and procurement teams, and offers system-to-system API integration for delivering activity data in and pulling gold-standard emissions calculations out — but it does not publish a public developer portal, OpenAPI specification, SDK, or open-source client library. API access is offered as part of customer integration projects rather than as a self-serve developer surface.

CarbonChain is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Carbon Accounting, Emissions Tracking, Supply Chain, Heavy Industry, and Commodities.

CarbonChain’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 10 more developer resources.
