Karbon360 documentation: how every figure is calculated, traced and checked
The Karbon360 documentation explains the method behind the numbers: the formula, the emission factors, the calculation trace, the data-quality checks and the boundary of what the product covers today. It is written for the person who has to defend a figure to a bank, a buyer or a verifier.
What the Karbon360 documentation covers
- Emission factors — where they come from, why Balkan grids differ, and how factors are versioned.
- The calculation trace — what is stored behind every figure and how the server re-checks it.
- Emissions data quality — coverage and reconciliation, reported separately.
- The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard — what Karbon360 applies, and what it does not claim.
- Supported emission sources — every fuel, process and category you can enter today, and what is still roadmap.

The formula behind every Karbon360 figure
Every emissions figure in Karbon360 is one multiplication: activity data × emission factor = kilograms of CO₂e.
The activity data is your side of it: the kWh on an electricity bill, the litres of diesel on a fuel receipt, the cubic metres of gas, the tonnes of clinker produced, the kilometres flown. The emission factor is the platform's side of it: a sourced, versioned conversion from that quantity to CO₂e. Because both halves are stored on the record, anyone can redo the multiplication and check the result.
Standards this documentation cites
- GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard — the structure Karbon360 follows.
- GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance — location-based and market-based methods.
- GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard — the fifteen Scope 3 categories.
- Regulation (EU) 2023/956, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 — the CBAM regulation and its 50-tonne simplification.
- The EU's VSME standard — the voluntary SME standard recommended by the Commission on 30 July 2025.
Karbon360 is structured to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. It is not a certification body, and a Karbon360 report is not a certificate.
