PCFs are becoming a standard supply chain request. Enterprises with net zero targets need credible product-level carbon data, and many already treat it as a sourcing requirement.
When one supplier can provide clear, reliable product carbon footprints and another just gives excuses, it can mean the difference between winning and losing a contract.
Preparations for the Digital Product Passport has already started, and the gap between those who move early or react late is shaping up.
Climatiq powers PCF solutions for platforms including Celonis and IntegrityNext, delivering fast, reliable emissions insights at a global scale.

Get in touch with our team to book a demo of the Climatiq PCF calculation tools and API.
Yes — Climatiq is certified under ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Full details are available at trust.climatiq.io.
The PCF API is proven at enterprise scale, supporting platforms such as Celonis in delivering PCFs across complex, multi-tier global supply chains.
Yes — every API response includes a source trail documenting the methodology and emission factors used.
PCF Studio calculates emissions expressed in CO2e, accounting for GWP100. Currently, no other environmental impacts are covered, but this may come in the future.
PCF API draws from Climatiq’s database containing hundreds of vetted datasets, including sources such as Agribalyse, Circular Ecology, OEKOBAUDAT, Plastics Europe and more. Premium data sources including ecoinvent, Carbon Minds and Sustamize can also be added on a per-customer or overall basis.
Users will soon also be able to incorporate their own supplier-specific data where available.
PCF APIcalculations are aligned with, and currently in the certification process for GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard and ISO 14067. We are currently in the ISO 14067 certification process and expect to complete this in Q2. and the GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard. Transport emissions are calculated using Climatiq’s GLEC-accredited freight calculation engine, and energy estimates are already certified according toby ISO 14067.
PCF API provides data quality indicators (DQIs) in accordance with the PACT framework. All results come with a full audit trail for transparency.
The API requires a bill of materials (BoM) for the product being calculated, along with manufacturing energy consumption and logistics data where available. Component names can be submitted in any language, and our AI-powered Autopilot feature maps them automatically to the appropriate emission factors.
The API supports both cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave calculations, including automated end-of-life calculations.
The PCF API is currently in preview. We need the ability to iterate quickly on preview versions, so we offer fewer guarantees of stability. Read more about API versioning at Climatiq here.
Yes — full API documentation and reference examples are available at climatiq.io/docs/api-reference/pcf.
The API is a standard REST API and can be integrated with any programming language. Climatiq provides full API documentation, code examples, and guides to help development teams get started quickly: climatiq.io/docs/api-reference/pcf
The PCF API enables SaaS platforms and ESG solution providers to embed automated product carbon footprint calculations directly into their products. It is designed for development teams who need to deliver PCF functionality quickly and at scale by handling the complex calculation logic and compliance of PCFs.
