How does ZeroCarbon convert Indian business documents to emissions records?

ZeroCarbon uses multimodal AI agents to read GST invoices, e-way bills, DISCOM electricity statements, and Tally exports. Extracted activity metrics (kWh, litres, tonnes) are computed deterministically using versioned emission factors (CEA India v21, DEFRA, GLEC v3.2). The AI never computes emissions arithmetic.

How does ZeroCarbon support EU CBAM verification for Indian exporters?

ZeroCarbon calculates installation-specific direct and indirect embedded emissions for steel, aluminium, and cement under EU Regulation 2023/956, eliminating punitive default value mark-ups (10% in 2026, 20% in 2027) with SHA-256 evidence trails for accredited verifiers.

Is ZeroCarbon aligned with SEBI BRSR Core assurance requirements?

Yes. ZeroCarbon maps activity data directly to SEBI BRSR Core Essential Indicators (KPI 1 Energy, KPI 2 Scope 1, KPI 3 Scope 2 & Scope 3) with end-to-end provenance back to source documents for reasonable assurance audits.

WBCSD PACT v3.0 Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.What is WBCSD PACT v3.0 and the Pathfinder Framework?

The Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), hosted by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), defines the global technical standard for calculating and exchanging Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) across supply chains. Version 3.0 specifies a standardized REST API protocol and data model for secure cross-network interoperability.

Q2.How does PACT v3.0 protect confidential supplier Bill of Materials (BOM)?

PACT v3.0 is built on zero-knowledge data sharing principles. Suppliers transmit aggregated carbon intensity metrics per declared unit of product (kgCO2e / kg or kgCO2e / unit) along with data quality indicators (DQI) and assurance levels, without exposing raw material costs, proprietary formulas, or supplier lists.

Q3.Is ZeroCarbon PACT node interoperable with Catena-X, SiGREEN, and SAP SFM?

Yes. ZeroCarbon implements the official PACT v3.0 OpenAPI specification. Any enterprise node running PACT v3.0 compliant software (such as Catena-X automotive ecosystem, Siemens SiGREEN, or SAP Sustainability Footprint Management) can request and exchange PCF data with ZeroCarbon.

Q4.How does PACT data elevate Scope 3 accounting from Tier 1 to Tier 3 assurance?

Traditional Scope 3 accounting relies on spend-based macroeconomic averages (Tier 1). By receiving verified primary supplier PCFs via PACT v3.0, companies automatically elevate inbound procurement items to Tier 3 (Primary Data-Matched), satisfying CSRD and SEC auditor standards.

Q5.What metrics are included in a PACT v3.0 PCF data payload?

A PACT v3.0 JSON payload includes: product footprint ID, global trade item number (GTIN), declared unit, gross emissions (fossilCO2e, biogenicCO2e, landUseChangeCO2e), boundary (cradle-to-gate), allocation rules, primary data share percentage, and verification certificate references.
