DESNZ 2026 · GHG Protocol · ISO 14064

Carbon intelligence, refined for how modern businesses actually work.

The carbon accounting platform built for SMEs. Scope 1, 2 and 3 in one place, with TCFD, CSRD and SECR reports generated automatically.

The ledger

Carbon, kept like a book of account.

Most platforms give you a dashboard that totals things up. We built a proper double-entry ledger instead — emissions enter as debits, retired credits as offsetting entries, and the net position updates on every line.

Which means when an auditor asks how you arrived at a figure, you can walk them down the page rather than rebuild the calculation from memory.

Scope 2 · Energy

Your electricity has two numbers. We show you both.

Location-based reporting uses the UK grid average. Market-based reporting reflects your actual tariff — including any renewable contract you already hold. Most platforms only show you one of these, which quietly hides the other.

Paspira CarbonLedger reports both side by side, TCFD-aligned, with uncovered electricity priced at the real residual mix rate rather than a discounted grid average — and calculates exactly how much a renewable tariff switch would save in tonnes.

Residual mix rate

Doing nothing should not produce the same number as doing something. That gap is the whole point of the market-based method — and most platforms never show it to you.

Supplier Portal · Scope 3

The hardest scope, made simple.

Scope 3 is usually the hardest part of any carbon inventory — not because the concept is complex, but because it depends on people outside your company actually giving you data. Most platforms solve this by asking your suppliers to create an account for a tool they'll touch twice a year.

We built it differently: one link, no login, submitted in minutes.

Read more about how it works →

You generate a unique request link for each supplier directly from your dashboard. They open it, choose whichever method is easiest for them — a total they already have, a quick spend-based estimate, or detailed activity data — and submit.

Every submission lands in your review queue for approval before it enters your official inventory, so you stay in control of what counts. Once approved, it flows straight into your Scope 3 breakdown and every report that depends on it — nothing to re-enter, nothing to reconcile by hand.

Who it's for

Built for whoever this landed on

At most small businesses, carbon reporting isn't anyone's job title. It's a task that arrived.

Finance and accounting

You already think in ledgers, balances and audit trails. Carbon works the same way here — debits, credits, a defensible net position, and a source line behind every figure.

SECR · Directors’ Report
Operations and facilities

You have the meter readings, the fuel cards and the waste contracts. Enter them once a month and the inventory, analytics and reports build themselves.

Why Paspira

Built differently. Priced fairly.

Five capabilities that set Paspira CarbonLedger apart — from the world's only double-entry carbon ledger to projected credit cost savings.

⚖

The double-entry carbon ledger

Every tonne of CO₂ is recorded the same way accountants record money. Emissions are debits. Credits are credits. Your net position is always live, always auditable.

  • ✓Emissions recorded as liabilities — never lost or forgotten
  • ✓Credits recorded as assets — full provenance trail
  • ✓Running balance visible at all times — no end-of-year surprise
  • ✓Auditor-ready double-entry format — defend every number

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

How accurate are your emission factors, really?

All 255 DESNZ 2026 factors in our library were individually checked cell-by-cell against the official government spreadsheet, not copied from a secondary source. Where we found unverifiable figures (some spend-based multipliers, a few freight categories), we removed them rather than guess — you’ll see that flagged in our methodology page.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You retain full ownership of everything you’ve entered. You have 30 days after cancellation to export your complete emission history as CSV before it’s deleted from our systems — no lock-in, no holding your data hostage.

Do I need a sustainability background to use this?

No. The platform is built for whoever ends up owning carbon reporting at a small-to-mid business — often finance, operations, or a founder — not a dedicated sustainability team. Most customers enter their first month of data in under 30 minutes with no prior carbon accounting experience.

Is my data secure?

Data is stored on Supabase infrastructure hosted in the EU, transmitted over HTTPS/TLS, and access is restricted by row-level security policies. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use your emission figures for benchmarking or research without your explicit consent.

Can my suppliers submit data without creating an account?

Yes — the supplier portal generates a unique link per request. Your suppliers fill in a short form and submit Scope 3 data directly, with no login, password, or account setup on their end.

What happens when DESNZ updates their emission factors?

We re-audit and update the factor library annually against the new DESNZ publication, the same cell-by-cell process used to build it. You’ll see the version and last-updated date on our methodology page.
