Climatiq licensing

While many of our emission factors are free to browse in Data Studio, most users require a license to use Climatiq data and software as part of their work. We offer various licensing options for businesses, consultancies, academics, and non-profits.

The type of license you need depends on whether you're using Climatiq for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Here are some examples:

Sustainability manager persona
Sustainability manager

Anna is responsible for creating emissions reports at her organization. She uses Climatiq to calculate their carbon emissions. 

She is using the data for internal purposes, and therefore doesn't need a commercial license. For full metadata and exports, she can upgrade to Data Pro.

Consultant persona
Consultant

Marie is a consultant. She creates sustainability reports for her clients using emission factors from Climatiq.

This is commercial use. She therefore needs a commercial license, such as Data Pro with consultant licensing.

Researcher persona
RESEARCHER

John is a researcher from a university. He uses emission factors from Climatiq for his project. 

This is non-commercial use, so he does not require a commercial license. He does, however, need to give attribution.
