Question 1

Who is Karbonsa Platform for?

Accepted Answer

It is designed for companies of every size that want to measure, report and manage their carbon emissions. Typical users are corporates running ISO 14064 and sustainability reporting, manufacturers exporting to the EU that fall under CBAM obligations, and SMEs that want to manage their green transition. Even if your needs start small, the platform scales with you as they grow.

Question 2

Is the Free Plan really free, and what does it cover?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Free Plan has no time limit and requires no credit card. With manual data entry you can calculate your Scope 1-2 emissions using more than 8,000 emission factors, review your data through dashboards and detailed comparative analyses, and set your targets with the emission reduction module. Advanced capabilities such as AI-powered invoice reading, automated ISO 14064 reporting and CBAM come with the paid plans.

Question 3

Do I need technical knowledge or expertise to use the platform?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform is designed to be used without a carbon accounting specialist, and it guides you step by step from data entry to the finished report. On the paid plans artificial intelligence reads your invoices and documents and handles data entry for you, which cuts the manual workload and the risk of error considerably. Whenever you want, our consulting team joins you on the same platform.

Question 4

Can I calculate all of my Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 in full, in line with the GHG Protocol classification, and your calculations are also consistent with ISO 14064 emission categories. You can calculate many Scope 3 categories including business travel, transportation, supply chain logistics and purchased goods and services, using more than 8,000 emission factors compiled from DEFRA, IPCC and Turkey-specific data. On the Professional Plan you can also access the Ecoinvent database and use sector-specific emission factors.

Question 5

Which standards and regulations can I report against?

Accepted Answer

The platform is built to produce corporate carbon footprint reporting with the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol methodology, sustainability reporting under the GRI, ESRS and TSRS frameworks, and EU CBAM reporting. It also keeps the data required for your CDP climate disclosure in order. Every output comes in a format ready for international audit standards.

Question 6

Can I handle CBAM reporting on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you export iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilizers, electricity or hydrogen to the EU, reporting under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is now mandatory. The platform calculates your product-level embedded emissions with the correct methodology and produces reports that follow the EU CBAM template and can be sent straight to your buyers.

Question 7

Are my reports ready for audit and verification?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every data entry, update and change is logged, so you can see transparently which user changed what and when. Auditors can review the calculation methodology, the data sources and the emission factors directly. This traceability makes a critical difference in verification processes.

Question 8

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

Your data is processed under policies compliant with Turkish data protection law (KVKK) and transmitted with SSL encryption. Role-based access control lets you decide which user can view and edit which data. Karbonsa is developed in Turkey, and data security is our priority from start to finish.

Question 9

How do we get started, and is consulting support available?

Accepted Answer

You can start right away with the Free Plan without entering any credit card details and explore the platform on your own. As your needs grow, you can upgrade to the Starter or Professional plan and unlock AI-powered data entry, ISO 14064 reporting and CBAM. If you ask for it, our consulting team steps in as well and supports you in defining the right scope, drawing the boundaries, setting up the monitoring plan and delivering audit-ready reporting.
