Frequently asked questions

Questions about getting started with Aentscope, calculating emissions and preparing disclosures.

Getting started

What is Aentscope?

Aentscope is an AI carbon accounting platform. It collects the activity data you need, calculates Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions automatically, keeps evidence for verification and generates disclosure reports from the same dataset.

How long does implementation take?

A basic setup covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 visibility and a data pipeline can be in place in as little as two weeks. Depending on size and scope, mid-sized companies typically take two weeks to two months and large groups three to four months.

How much does Aentscope cost?

Aentscope is a cloud subscription, so there are no servers or systems to build. Pricing depends on the modules you use and the size of your organisational boundary. Book a demo and we'll give you an exact quote.

How is our data protected?

Data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS/TLS, and access is controlled by role-based permissions at the entity, site and department level. Aentscope also supports OTP-based multi-factor authentication and IP access control, and logs every change with the user, time and reason. Aents is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management.

Is Aentscope aligned with international standards?

Yes. Calculations follow the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1, so the emissions you calculate in Aentscope can be taken straight into third-party verification.

We've never done carbon accounting. Can we still start?

Yes. During onboarding we help you set a base year, define your organisational boundary and emission sources, configure data collection and calculation methods, and assign roles, so the process keeps running after go-live.

Emissions calculation

What are Scope 1, 2 and 3?

The GHG Protocol splits a company's emissions into three scopes. Scope 1 is direct emissions from sources you own or control. Scope 2 is indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam. Scope 3 is all other indirect emissions across your value chain, grouped into 15 categories.

Can Aentscope calculate Scope 3?

Yes. After screening which categories are relevant, you set up data collection, methods and emission factors for each category. Aentscope supports spend-based, average-data and supplier-specific methods, with licensed emission factor databases included.

How does data collection work?

Purchasing, energy, logistics and production data can come from your ERP, from standardised upload templates, or directly from suppliers through the supplier portal. Aentscope turns that data into Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions automatically.

We already have a spreadsheet inventory. How do we move over?

Send us your existing spreadsheets or system exports as they are. We migrate them into Aentscope, so you don't have to reformat anything first.

Reporting and assurance

How does third-party assurance work?

You can work with the assurance provider of your choice directly inside Aentscope. Evidence and change history are already attached to each figure, which shortens preparation. Aents is a software provider, not an assurance provider.

Which frameworks does Aentscope support?

Aentscope calculates emissions in line with the GHG Protocol and supports disclosure aligned with CSRD (ESRS E1) and ISSB (IFRS S2). If you also face national rules built on these standards, tell us about your requirements in the demo.

A customer has asked for our emissions data. Where do we start?

Start by building a Scope 1 and 2 inventory under the GHG Protocol, then add the Scope 3 categories your customer cares about. Aentscope lets you answer that request and reuse the same data for the next one.
