Industry
Climate Tech Software Development
Carbon tracking, energy monitoring, and sustainability platforms that drive real action.
Market
The Climate Tech opportunity
Climate tech software is growing as corporate ESG reporting requirements become mandatory in the EU and increasingly expected by institutional investors globally. The market is moving from voluntary carbon offsets toward scope 3 emissions tracking and verifiable sustainability claims.
Challenges
What Climate Tech founders run into
- Carbon calculation methodology that needs to be auditable and defensible
- Data ingestion from energy meters, IoT devices, and external emissions databases
- ESG reporting exports that match the format of specific frameworks (GHG Protocol, TCFD, CDP)
- Supply chain emissions tracking requiring data from hundreds of vendors

FAQ
Common questions
Can you build a carbon calculator that's defensible?+
Yes — the key is building on top of recognised emission factor databases (DEFRA, EPA, ecoinvent) and documenting the calculation methodology. I build the engine; you work with a sustainability consultant to validate the factors.
