# ClimateGrid

> ClimateGrid provides the technical data foundation for operational decarbonization: automated CO₂ footprint per manufactured component, directly from machine data.

## What we do

ClimateGrid automates Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation at the component level for industrial manufacturers. We connect machines and production assets via edge gateways (CarbonTrace), capture real-time energy consumption data, and automatically allocate CO₂ values to individual parts produced — without Excel, without manual data entry, without estimates.

Our approach: start at the machine — where actual CO₂ emissions originate — not at the ERP or reporting layer.

## Key capabilities

- Plug & play asset integration via OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus (hardware-agnostic CarbonTrace Edge Gateway, DIN rail mount)
- Automated PCF calculation per manufactured component (Cradle-to-Gate)
- Audit-ready output compliant with CSRD and ISO 14067
- ERP/MES data linking for process-level allocation

## Industry blueprints

- Laser cutting & metal processing (Trumpf, Siemens PAC)
- Injection molding (Arburg, Engel — OPC UA, cycle-level metering)
- Food & beverage bottling (Krones — batch-level, CIP allocation)
- CNC machining (DMG Mori, Siemens SINUMERIK — spindle-level, IMDS-compatible output)

## Background & milestones

- 2022: Founded in Elchingen, Germany
- 2024: Climate Impact Manager launched; integrated into VERSO Climate Hub
- 2026: Strategic exit of Climate Impact Manager to osapiens (global ESG software market leader); ClimateGrid refocuses on upstream operational data capture at machine level
- Today: Blueprint scaling — standardized integration modules for industrial standard processes

## Strategic context

ClimateGrid is a strategic partner of osapiens, the German sustainability unicorn. The 2026 deal demonstrated validated go-to-market; the company now targets the earlier, harder problem: making machine-level CO₂ data available, connected, and auditable before it reaches any reporting layer.

Target customers: German and European industrial mid-market (Mittelstand) with real energy/emissions footprint, facing CSRD reporting obligations, and demanding PCF data from their supply chain.
