The Climate Impact Calculator measures, in just a few steps, the potential for reducing CO2 emissions and other climate indicators of your product or service.
CALCULATE YOUR IMPACT!
To start calculating your potential climate impact, you will need to provide some basic information about your organization, such as: name, email, location and area of activity.
Each key sector has its impact factors that are considered so that the calculation can be made with a specific approach to its area of activity.
After entering all the necessary information, the calculator will provide data, in indicators such as CO2 equivalent, about the climate impact of your solution.
The calculator is aimed at organizations that have projects with the potential to generate a positive climate impact, regardless of the maturity stage of the solution. It was created based on the opportunities matrix of the A Onda Verde Study. See the image below to see the sectors for which we have available methodologies.
CALCULATE YOUR IMPACT!
The calculations are made based on the methodology developed in technical partnership with WayCarbon and using internationally recognized standards, such as IPCC, GHG Protocol and GPC. Still in Beta version, the tool will incorporate new indicators and generate even more accurate results for each key sector.

The calculator aims to calculate the potential for reducing CO2 equivalent emissions and other climate impact indicators.
In this sense, it is possible to use it for a series of applications, such as:
1) Carry out simulations and projections of the impact of a given project.
2) Compare the potential impact of different projects.
3) Strengthen the organization's positioning through impact indicators.
The calculator is aimed at organizations that have projects with the potential to generate a positive climate impact, regardless of the maturity stage of the solution.
The calculator will cover all key sectors of the green economy mapped in the Green Wave Study, that is:
1) Forests and Land Use
2) Agriculture and Food Systems
3) Water and sanitation
4) Logistics and Mobility
5) Energy and Biofuels
6) Waste Management
7) Industry
8) Financial Sector
The sectors will be launched in a phased manner. Currently, for 2023, in addition to the Forests and Land Use sector, already available, the Agriculture and Water and Sanitation sectors will also be launched.
To use the calculator, it is necessary to provide the organization's basic identification data, such as name, base state and document (CNPJ or CPF of the founder).
You also need to provide specific information about the projects in which your solution works. Such information varies according to the selected impact factor. If your organization has a reforestation project, for example, the information requested will be the project area, biome, phytophysiognomy, expected growth of the area. If your project's impact is related to reducing the use of agricultural inputs, the information requested will be different, and so on.
For each key sector, there is a list of impact factors covered by the methodology. For each impact factor, there is a specific set of assumptions and calculation formulas. For the Forests and Land Use sector, for example, there are 4 impact factors:
- Reduction in the use of agricultural inputs
- Reduction in the burning of agricultural waste
- Prevention of deforestation
- Forest restoration
As the tool evolves, the idea is to include calculations for more and more possible impact factors.
For most impact factors, the result is expressed in terms of CO² equivalent removed or avoided. However, the tool's evolution plans include other economic and impact variables, such as jobs created, hectares preserved, among others.
Yes! To do this you need:
1) Inform the organization's CNPJ when filling out the calculator
2) Register on the platform with the same CNPJ
3) Authorize the incorporation of calculator information into your profile
