Overview
Earthchain is a UK-based climate technology company, headquartered in Leeds, that automates Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting for organisations of all sizes. The platform turns the unstructured operational data businesses already produce — invoices, energy bills, travel records, freight manifests, recipe and purchasing data — into activity-based, audit-ready emissions reports aligned to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Scope 3 Standard.
Founded by CEO Dan Graf, who holds an MSc in Sustainable Development from the University of Sussex and brings a background spanning sustainability, carbon accounting and climate fintech, Earthchain was built to close the gap between the data businesses generate every day and the carbon reports they are increasingly expected to produce. Where many tools rely on spend-based proxies and consultancy-led data collection, Earthchain delivers automated, primary-data emissions accounting at activity level, with full audit trail and support for all 15 Scope 3 categories where data exists.
The platform is in production with customers across higher education, real estate, manufacturing, construction and consumer sectors, including Dulwich College, Huckletree, Galliard Homes, Elis, Andel and Dryrobe. It draws on Agribalyse v3.1.1 (ADEME) for food LCA, Ecoinvent v3.12 for non-food materials and processes, and DEFRA conversion factors for energy, transport, water and waste. As a member of Project Perseus (Icebreaker One's Smart Data Scheme), Earthchain is architected to consume half-hourly UK smart meter data for time-matched Scope 2 emissions — the direction of travel for the GHG Protocol's Scope 2 guidance.
Development is wholly UK-based. All customer data is hosted within the UK and EU, encrypted at rest and in transit, and processed by UK-resident personnel only.
