Question 1

Is SB-253 guided reporting available now?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CarbonWise includes guided SB-253 filing preparation, an SB-253 dashboard, review and evidence support, a CARB-shaped draft workbook export, and Evidence Pack + Assurance Bundle exports with decision-trail support when the source-record activity ledger is available. CarbonWise does not submit directly to CARB.

No. You can use the Carbon Calculator without creating an account. Create an account when you want to save records, track history, or export.

Question 3

What scopes does CarbonWise support?

Accepted Answer

CarbonWise supports Scope 1 stationary and mobile combustion plus manual process/fugitive direct-emissions handoff rows, Scope 2 electricity, and Scope 3 records through spend-based screening or supplier-reported actuals with data-quality context.

Question 4

Can CarbonWise verify contracts or supplier claims?

Accepted Answer

CarbonWise stores user-declared market-based and supplier-reported values, but verification still depends on your underlying documentation and assurance process.
