Ready to use carbon data that drives decisions?
Accurate emissions data for chemicals is just the start.
We help you map your emissions, identify reduction hotspots, and turn data into action.
Need data on your chemicals? We’ve got it.
With cm.chemicals, you get access to:
1,500+ chemicals and plastics — and growing
200+ regions — global, national, and site-level detail
ISO 14040/44 & 14067-compliant data, built on a TÜV-certified methodology
Production and consumption mixes + technology-specific insights
But data alone isn’t the finish line.
It’s where effective emissions strategy begins.
That’s why our customers choose the Emission Factor Mapping Service.
We take your supplier or product list and match it with credible, certified PCF and LCI data from cm.chemicals. Then we map, analyze, and deliver:
- Your Scope 3.1 emissions hotspots
- A coverage map: which of your chemicals are in our database
- A strategy brief: where to engage, reduce, or collect better data
And yes — you keep the data for your internal reporting or sustainability claims.
(the best way to understand your emissions landscape)

You leave the call with clarity — and a plan.
How it works
Our Emission Factor Mapping Service helps you close data gaps and address inconsistencies in Scope 3.1 emissions reporting by automatically mapping chemical substances using CAS IDs. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual matching, providing you with consistent and accurate emissions data. If certain chemicals are missing from the database, we focus on closing those data gaps: we offer our modeling on demand services or, alternatively, provide similar chemical substances (proxys) with the support of our automated proxy suggestion tool.
Emission Factor Mapping
Automated Mapping Based on CAS-IDs
First, we identify all products in your Scope 3.1 inventory that have emission factors available in the Carbon Minds database. This mapping is based on CAS IDs, numerical identifiers for chemical substances. Remaining data gaps are addressed in the next steps.
Prioritization of data gaps
Invest in data quality where it matters most
Prioritize data gaps based on their expected impact on your Scope 3.1 results. High-priority data gaps are filled using our on-demand modeling service leading to higher data quality, while low-priority gaps will be filled with proxies
Modeling On Demand
Higher quality
With our Modeling on Demand service, we model the missing emission factors for you using our third-party certified methodology, allowing you to fill data gaps with representative data.
Proxy Mapping
Lower quality
For less critical data gaps, our proxy suggestion engine identifies the substances in our database most similar to your target based on molecular structure, quantifying the similarity. You can use these suggestions to select suitable proxies.
Success Story
If you want to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the first thing to understand is the carbon footprint of your products to have a solid baseline. Based on the Carbon Minds database, Avient managed to calculate certified Carbon Footprints for all its products.
