Measure process-level emissions with real data

In cement, aluminum, iron and steel, fertilizer, plastic and textile manufacturing, high energy consumption, complex process emissions and manual data collection deepen reliance on outside consultants. CarbonSmart pulls your process data directly from ERP and IoT sources and maps it to emission factors, reducing hours-long calculations to minutes.

Manufacturing sector carbon footprint — industrial facility process line and ISO 14064 compliant emission management

The Sector's Real Problems

From data collection to reporting — every step breaks

!

High energy intensity and emissions from numerous process sources

!

Manual calculation of process-based emissions such as clinker, electrolysis and blast furnace

!

Off-site consultant dependency and reporting cycles that take months

!

Disconnected data flow between CBAM, ISO 14064 and customer carbon questionnaires

Sub-Sectors

Every sub-sector has its own unique carbon story

Cement production

Problem

In clinker production, calcination-driven CO₂ emissions, combined with the fuel mix and electricity consumption, dominate the Scope 1 share. Monthly calculations are still run on spreadsheets.

CarbonSmart Solution

CarbonSmart pulls clinker production volume, fuel mix and electricity consumption hourly from DCS/PI systems and produces an emission map with Ecoinvent and Tier-3 process factors.

Outcome

Monthly Scope 1 reporting drops from 4 days to 30 minutes; CBAM embedded emissions are delivered to suppliers on a per-clinker basis.

Aluminum extrusion

Problem

The energy split between electrolysis and extrusion lines is not transparent; Scope 2 disaggregation is missing for export reporting (CBAM).

CarbonSmart Solution

Meter-level IoT data combined with bill-of-materials matching calculates the energy share specific to each extrusion profile; regional electricity factors are applied automatically.

Outcome

kgCO₂e per product can be delivered to European buyers; an annual emission reduction of 8–12% is planned through competitive profile selection.

Iron and steel

Problem

Scope 1 emissions are intensive across blast furnace, BOF and EAF processes, and consolidation of data from multiple plants is weak.

CarbonSmart Solution

Multi-location structure management reports each plant in a modular fashion; scrap ratio, coking coal and electricity mix are tracked parametrically.

Outcome

Group-level consolidated Scope 1-2 reports in a single click; supplier and buyer questionnaires exported in standard templates.

Fertilizer production

Problem

In ammonia and nitric acid production, N₂O and CO₂ emissions dominate Scope 1; the need for IPCC Tier-2/Tier-3 calculations is high.

CarbonSmart Solution

Process-based input-output flows (mass balance) are defined; IPCC coefficients and locally validated emission factors are applied.

Outcome

A facility emission inventory is produced in ISO 14064-1 format; reporting requirements for climate labels and export customers are met.

Platform Features

Sector-specific, end-to-end integrated

Process-level data collection

Process data is pulled automatically from DCS, SCADA and OEE systems; operator logs and Excel sources are also integrated without intermediate servers.

ERP and IoT integration

Ready-made connectors for ERPs such as SAP, Netsis, Logo and Oracle, and for Siemens/Schneider PLC/IoT devices. Connect to your own systems via API.

Automatic emission factor matching

Ecoinvent, DEFRA, EPA eGRID and TÜİK emission factors are applied automatically; selected based on location, fuel mix and electricity mix.

Multi-location structure

Group companies, regions, facilities and lines are modeled hierarchically; emissions, intensity (kgCO₂e/ton) and energy KPIs are reported separately at every level.

Batch and product-level analysis

Footprint calculation by production batch or product SKU — product-level breakdowns ready for supplier questionnaires and CBAM reports.

Real-time anomaly detection

Consumption and emission spikes that deviate from expectations are flagged via ML; the process engineer can intervene the same day.

Success Story

Borusan Boru — Corporate Carbon Footprint

Corporate carbon footprint calculation across Borusan Boru's multi-location manufacturing operations was executed end-to-end on the CarbonSmart platform.

Energy, fuel, process and logistics data from three facilities flowed into CarbonSmart through ERP integration. Scope 1, Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 categories were calculated in line with ISO 14064-1; consolidated group-level reporting and facility-level breakdowns were produced in parallel. Audit-ready inventory documentation was exported as a single package via the platform.

Calculation cycle reduced from months to days
