We are excited to announce the latest enhancements in Cycle 16, delivering critical updates to our Shipment API, emissions reporting, and AIS handling.

Here's what's new:

📉 Carbon Report and Carbon Act automated dashboards

We’ve made it easier for users to visualize, report and act on carbon emissions. No more manual scripts or output CSV files — we made it easy and quick to compute and see.

How does it work?

Simply upload your CSV file, and we’ll handle the rest—processing it, calculating emissions and recommandations, and delivering detailed carbon dashboards right within our app. You’ll also be able to download all the data for deeper insights.

To explore our solutions, get a clear understanding of what our APIs can deliver and what solutions you can build with it, please have a look here and request a demo.

🛫 Addition of the flight number functionality to the Shipment API

We’ve added the ability to calculate emissions directly from flight numbers in the Shipment API. This improvement lets us calculate emissions at the aircraft and route level for more accurate data, providing a new emission model called gcd-actual-icao. When the route is found but the aircraft could not be retrieved, the calculation will still be more accurate thanks to the route adjustment. In that case, the model is gcd-actual-emissionfactors.

Here’s an example of the request you can make:

🚧

While the functionality is live and operational in the API, the data quality is not yet up to our expectations. We're actively working on securing a provider that meets our high standards for accuracy and reliability.

📈 Improvement of historical model in the Shipment API

We’ve improved how the Shipment API (shipment/v2/report/co2) handles historical data. Previously, if the scac and imo didn’t match, the fallback was the sfd-direct-imo model, which calculates emissions at the vessel level with a direct route. Now, we’ve removed the scac constraint in the historical model when the imo is valid, unlocking more accurate historical emissions data. This means users get more reliable results even when there’s a mismatch between scac and imo, helping them reduce noise in their data while improving the accuracy in the response.

📕 Yang Ming scac code update

We’ve added support for Yang Ming’s new scac code (YMJA), ensuring smooth emissions calculations. Whether you use YMJA or the previous code YMLU, you’ll get consistent emissions results.

👀 Preview of Cycle C17

In the upcoming cycle, we will focus on:

• Adding biomethanol as a fuel option for sea emissions reporting.
• Supporting hydrogen emissions for road, starting with gaseous hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).
• Continuing work on improving flight route emissions data with enhanced accuracy.
