Problem

Emissions reporting isn't a simple data problem

Behind every number are moving targets: emission factors that change by mode, region, vehicle, and fuel; evolving standards and regulation; messy routing and multi-leg edge cases; and audits that demand traceability and accountability. Most teams end up stitching together spreadsheets and scripts that are slow to run, hard to trust, and painful to maintain.

Solution

TerraTwin makes emissions programmable

One consistent API for multi-leg journeys across road, rail, sea, and air. TerraTwin handles the hard parts: sourcing and updating freight emission factors, applying ISO-aligned calculation logic, adjustments for logistics hubs, complex multi-modal routing with accurate distances, and audit-ready results with a clear trace from shipment → legs → assumptions → factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions along with answers and guidance

Technical Resources Product Information Documentation
What is TerraTwin?
TerraTwin is a digital platform for accurately calculating and reporting carbon emissions. It uses a digital twin of real-world logistics networks and is built for freight forwarders, shippers, and logistics providers.
What is the TerraTwin Emissions Calculator?
The TerraTwin Emissions Calculator is a web tool for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollutants, and energy use in freight transport by road, rail, water, or air. It uses an energy-based methodology—modeling fuel consumption and transport activity—rather than simple emission factors.
Which tools and technologies does TerraTwin offer?
TerraTwin provides a range of tools, including a web-based Emissions Calculator, APIs for programmatic access, and SDKs for various programming languages (TypeScript, Python, .NET, Java) to integrate emissions calculations into applications. It also offers an Excel Add-in for easy emissions calculations directly within Excel.
How does TerraTwin calculate emissions?
TerraTwin simulates real-world logistics networks (a “digital twin”) to model both fuel use and transport activity. Because it reflects actual transport conditions, the emissions results are more accurate than those based on generic emission factors.
Which modes of transport does TerraTwin support?
TerraTwin supports road, rail, water, and air transport. You can calculate emissions for any of those freight modes in a single place.
Who can benefit from using TerraTwin?
Freight forwarders, shippers, and logistics providers can use TerraTwin to calculate and report carbon emissions for their operations. It’s a single platform to manage emissions data across all transport modes.
Is TerraTwin suitable for large-scale logistics operations?
Yes. Our digital twin technology scales to any network size. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
How can I access the TerraTwin Emissions Calculator?
Access the TerraTwin Emissions Calculator on our web platform by signing up. You can also use our APIs, SDKs, or Excel Add-in to integrate emissions calculations into your own applications.
What standards and accreditations does TerraTwin follow?
TerraTwin is accredited by the Smart Freight Centre under the GLEC Framework, so our emissions calculations meet international standards for transparency and accuracy. We also follow ISO 14083:2023, the global standard for calculating and reporting GHG emissions in logistics.
Is TerraTwin suitable for regulatory reporting?
Yes. TerraTwin supports regulatory requirements like the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). With accurate emissions calculations and built-in reporting, it helps you stay compliant.
