Description

Carbon Accounting Platform Market Size:

The carbon accounting platform market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 29.72% during the forecast period.

Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and reporting the amount of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by an organization or activity. It is a crucial tool for businesses, governments, and other organizations to track their environmental impact and identify opportunities for reducing their carbon footprint. The process of carbon accounting involves gathering data on the various sources of GHG emissions, such as energy use, transportation, and manufacturing processes, and calculating the total emissions for a given time period. The emissions are typically measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), which take into account the varying global warming potential of different greenhouse gases. Carbon accounting is increasingly important in the context of climate change, as businesses and governments face pressure to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit global warming. Carbon accounting helps to provide transparency and accountability in this process, allowing organizations to track their progress towards carbon reduction goals and report on their performance to stakeholders.

Carbon Accounting Platform Market Growth Drivers:

  • The Carbon accounting platform market is driven by growing demand for reporting services and strict government policies and regulations as well as incentives.

With the increasing pressure on organizations to reduce their carbon footprint, there has been a growing demand for carbon accounting and reporting services. Many businesses and governments are seeking to identify and quantify their carbon emissions and take steps to reduce them. Carbon accounting companies offer a range of services, from carbon footprint assessment to carbon offsetting, which enables organizations to measure, manage and mitigate their emissions. Governments around the world are introducing policies and regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the Paris Agreement requires signatory countries to reduce their carbon emissions to limit global warming. The introduction of such policies and regulations has increased the demand for carbon accounting services as organizations seek to comply with these requirements. In addition, carbon pricing schemes such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems have also increased demand for carbon accounting services. According to the World Bank, as of 2021, over 60 carbon pricing initiatives have been implemented or scheduled, covering about 22% of global GHG emissions. These schemes include carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems, which are designed to incentivize businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. The implementation of these policies and regulations has increased demand for carbon accounting services as organizations seek to comply with these requirements.

Further, in October 2022, SAP SE launched a virtual startup initiative called "Carbon Accounting" at its SAP.iO Foundry Tel Aviv to support customers in improving their sustainability practices. The program aims to use advanced technology and innovation to reach sustainability goals. Six global startups have been chosen to participate and form alliances with SAP and other top companies. During the program, the startups received guidance from SAP executives, exposure to SAP technology and APIs, and opportunities to collaborate with SAP customers worldwide. The startups worked with SAP on integration and partnership to deliver solutions that enable companies to assess, manage, and report their ESG impacts, track and minimize their carbon emissions, and automate carbon accounting, data collection, and reporting.
