}Karboncheck for material carbon estimation
Karboncheck helps AI agents estimate and compare the carbon footprint of materials such as steel, aluminium, plastics, concrete, and stainless steel to support low-carbon decisions.
Use Cases
2. Estimate a material
POST /api/estimate
{
"query": "aluminium",
"quantity": 1,
"unit": "tonne"
}3. Agent use case
"Which material should I use to reduce carbon footprint?"
Use /api/compare-materials to rank the options and keep the
lowest-carbon one for the same quantity and unit.Why materials first
Scope 3 relevance
Materials sit at the heart of industrial purchasing and embodied carbon decisions.
High variance
The same material family can have very different emission factors depending on source and process.
Decision-ready
The goal is not only to expose data, but to support compare-and-decide workflows in AI tools and product software.
