Compare carbon intensity with confidence

Commodity Insights currently covers hydrogen, ammonia, and cement - with consistent methodology across all of them - plus global offtake tracking. We will also soon be adding steel and oil as of Q1 2026.

These commodities represent major sources of industrial emissions and are at the centre of decarbonisation policy. By covering them in one platform alongside offtake data, users can compare carbon performance, track market activity, and identify where low-carbon supply is emerging and where demand is strongest. We are adding additional commodities, please let us know if there is a specific commodity of interest.

Sylvera calculates facility-level carbon intensity using their own framework and also under key schemes such as CBAM.

We use facility and cargo-specific data to generate standardised carbon intensity for multiple frameworks and schemes from a single data input. This means developers can prove compliance across schemes, and buyers can compare facilities using the appropriate methodology - regardless of where production is located. You can also compare ‘apples to apples’ using Sylvera’s framework and carbon intensity.

Mechanism eligibility shows which regulatory schemes, compliance markets, and certification standards a facility qualifies for - along with estimated value potential.

Each mechanism and scheme has different reporting and LCA requirements and eligibility depends on carbon intensity thresholds, production methods, and regional requirements that vary by scheme. Sylvera digitises this assessment for multiple mechanisms so users can see exactly which pathways a specific facility or cargo is eligible for.

Sylvera Ratings assess the quality of carbon credits from offset projects. Commodity Insights evaluates the carbon intensity of physical commodities and their eligibility for regulatory mechanisms.

Both products apply the same independent, science-led approach, but they serve different parts of the decarbonisation landscape. Ratings help buyers avoid low-quality offsets; Commodity Insights helps producers, investors, and buyers navigate carbon-differentiated physical supply chains. Some users rely on both to manage emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3.

Commodity Insights serves developers proving carbon performance, investors conducting due diligence, and corporate buyers comparing supply options.

Developers use it to attract offtakers and demonstrate eligibility for premium markets. Investors use it to assess facility-level carbon risk and ROI potential across mechanisms. Buyers use it to defend procurement decisions with standardised metrics and track delivery risk across offtake agreements. See how our customers use it.
