EU ETS, CBAM, CSRD and customer demands for product footprints raised the stakes. Dcycle turns your plant data into operational and financial decisions.
Pull from your ERP and MES, DCS and SCADA historians, energy and steam meters, lab and LIMS systems, and supplier feedstock data, across every production site and legal entity. Electricity, gas and steam invoices are read automatically, including the total amount and currency. Every figure stays versioned and traceable, from the corporate number down to the individual meter reading or invoice.
Process and combustion emissions from crackers, reactors and furnaces are Scope 1. Purchased electricity and steam are Scope 2. Feedstocks, raw materials, outbound logistics and the use of sold products are Scope 3, which dominates the footprint in chemicals. Dcycle calculates all three with GHG Protocol or ISO 14064 methodology, per site, per product line or at group level.
Energy intensity per tonne produced, emissions per product line, steam and water consumption per site, and progress against reduction targets, all calculated and visualised. Spot the highest-intensity assets and processes, and give plant managers, EHS teams and the board the operational KPIs they actually use to run the business.
Leia is Dcycle's built-in AI. It works directly on your data structure, so you can describe a decarbonisation or reporting flow and let it handle the steps, or ask for a custom chart or a report in a format we don't ship and have it built from your existing data. It surfaces gaps and patterns across your sites, so your team manages by exception instead of chasing spreadsheets.
Model abatement cost per tonne, quantify your EU ETS allowance exposure and the CBAM cost on imported feedstocks, and compare reduction scenarios by payback. Dcycle turns environmental data into the capex, procurement and pricing decisions your finance team can defend, not just another report.
The same data feeds CSRD and ESRS double materiality with XBRL output, EU ETS verified reports, EU Taxonomy, EcoVadis and ISO 14064. Dcycle also runs product-level LCAs aligned with ISO 14040 and 14044, so you can give automotive, packaging and other downstream customers the product carbon footprints and EPDs they increasingly demand. Audit-ready, not audit-panic.

This is the sector where the carbon price is already a line in the P&L rather than a disclosure. Scope 1 is priced directly under the EU ETS, CBAM is extending that price to imported feedstock, and everything downstream wants a footprint per product before it buys.
The one obligation in this list that is already money. Verified Scope 1 emissions convert into allowances you buy or hold, so a measurement error is a purchasing error. The verified report and the corporate footprint come from the same meters, and keeping them in one place is what stops the two diverging before an audit.
Chemicals is in CBAM scope on both sides: as an importer of feedstock and as a supplier to sectors that are. The declaration needs embedded emissions per consignment and per supplier, which is the same supplier data your Scope 3 already asks for, in a different output format.
No legal threshold, and it arrives before any of the others. Your customer needs a figure per product for their own Scope 3, and increasingly for an Environmental Product Declaration. A corporate footprint does not answer it; a cradle-to-gate LCA per product line does.
Many chemical groups clear this threshold comfortably, which makes CSRD a real report rather than a reason for questionnaires. Double materiality under ESRS, with XBRL output, drawn from the same site data that already feeds the ETS report.
Environmental and human rights risks per site and per input, documented. In chemicals the awkward part is upstream: feedstock origin is often several tiers away, and the structure that answers it is the same supplier portal that collects Scope 3.
Activity by activity, eligible and aligned, with the technical screening criteria and the do-no-significant-harm test. For chemicals this decides how a site is classified in a lender's book, so it belongs with the capex case rather than with the sustainability report.
