Translate supply-chain emissions into an estimated carbon cost using a price per metric tonne of CO₂e. Model current exposure, a future price scenario, and the amount attributable to purchased goods, logistics, and other suppliers without assuming a jurisdiction-specific tax or market price.
Current carbon cost = Total emissions × Covered share × Current carbon price. Future cost uses the same emissions and covered share at the future price.
The current cost is a shadow or direct carbon-price exposure for the included supply-chain footprint. The future scenario shows price sensitivity while holding emissions constant.
This is not a tax calculation. Actual liability depends on jurisdiction, exemptions, allocation, contract terms, and the emissions boundary.
For 11,000 t CO₂e with 75% covered, priced at $45/t, the current carbon cost is $371,250. At $80/t, it would be $660,000.
Use the market, regulatory, or internal planning price relevant to the decision and document its source and date.
Coverage lets you model exemptions, limited program scope, or the share passed through by suppliers.
No. It prices the entered emissions only; abatement investment and administrative costs are separate.
Yes. Enter the internal price as the current or future carbon price to estimate a shadow cost.
No. Pass-through depends on contracts, competition, regulation, and supplier decisions.
