Your buyers are asking what the embedded carbon is in the specific product they're purchasing — not your annual total, not an industry average. Sesame helps you answer with confidence, and improve the number.
Carbon intensity is the same per-unit, first-principles math Sesame has always used for levelized cost — applied to carbon. Sesame traces it through every step of production and supply — electricity, fuels, feedstocks, upstream materials — so a product's carbon intensity reflects how it was actually made. That turns a reporting figure into a planning tool: compare interventions, evaluate suppliers, and find the lowest-cost path to the number your buyers and programs require.
Carbon capture cuts direct emissions ~56% — but the product's true carbon intensity only emerges once electricity supply and upstream flows are counted. From our BF-BOF case study with the EFI Foundation ↗
First-principles models of your processes and supply chain compute carbon intensity for the specific product and route — not a generic benchmark.
CCS, electrification, fuel switching, supplier changes — see what each does to product carbon intensity and what it costs, before committing capital.
Optimize toward the thresholds that matter — border adjustments, tax credits, procurement standards — at the lowest cost per ton avoided.
Sesame's product carbon intensity methods are developed in the open, through published case studies with the EFI Foundation — pathway by pathway.
