Our GHG & Impact Estimator:

Science-based approach

The GHG Estimator follows a lean, comparative LCA-approach and was developed together with the Borderstep Institute for Innovation and Sustainability. The key step is to define a fair comparison scenario for the main product or service of each portfolio company. For this scenario, the most material emission-relevant differences are captured and quantified based on suitable emission factors using the IDEMAT database. Finally, the emission data is linked to the startups' market growth projection. More about the methodology can be found here.

Easy-to-use software

A clearly structured step-by-step approach guides your portfolio companies confidently through the entire analysis process. Examples, comprehensive explanations, and optional AI support help ensure that data and emission factors are entered correctly and that results are reliable. The tool is proven and tested in practice, having already been used by more than 100 startups.

Automated report

An automatically created impact report (pdf) illustrates the climate mitigation potential of each portfolio company. Thereby, limitations and assumptions are transparently shown in the report.

Case Study

Our Partnership with Climate KIC:
Estimating & validating the GHG savings potential of early-stage companies

Climate-KIC uses the GHG Estimator to quantify the climate mitigation potential of early-stage startups, giving them a clear, data-driven understanding of how these ventures contribute to emissions reduction. This allows Climate-KIC and its clients to identify and support the most promising solutions. They selected our platform because it seamlessly integrates with their evaluation processes and delivers actionable insights at scale.

The collaboration is mutually enriching: insights from Climate-KIC’s startup ecosystem help refine the tool, while the platform enables more precise and effective support for their portfolio companies. Together, this partnership strengthens Climate-KIC’s mission to accelerate innovation that drives meaningful progress toward global climate goals.
