Want to leverage your data to increase the value of your green products or services?

You've come to the right place.

With our API solutions you can enable your customers to do climate footprint calculations, reporting or engagement, directly in your existing system.

That’s forward thinking!

Get started with Ducky API

1


Get access to our API

Contact us for free demo access and get started right away. We'll help you select the right endpoints for your use case and to get started with your API application.

2


Integrate valuable climate data into your own applications or services

You own or manage a software application. It could be anything from a banking app to an enterprise inventory system, or a retail webshop. By sending anonymous data to Ducky API, for example the amount of money spent on a category of goods, you get valuable climate data in return that you can store and use for any purpose.

Ducky Insights

3


Deliver increased value to your customers

Estimate the climate footprint of items in your inventory, let users compare climate footprints and produce personalised tips. Boosting the sales of your sustainable products and services and strengthening your customer relationships. Our climate data can even be used for GHG reporting straight from your systems.

86% of the world’s population say they want the world to change significantly and become more sustainable and equitable.

4


Engage your team by running a climate challenge

Do you want to build an internal culture for sustainability, but don't quite know how? The climate challenge is an engaging and simple team building exercise. For two weeks you compete internally as a team and externally against other companies.
You'll practice the same climate actions that are made available for customers through Ducky API, backed by the same rigorous data.

GHG emission reporting

1


New regulations requires companies to report their scope 1-3 GHG emissions

The new CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) regulation under the EU taxonomy has broad qualifying criteria, meaning tens of thousands of large companies will need to document their Scope 1-3 emissions from January 1st 2024. Hundreds of thousands of small companies are indirectly affected and will have to make efforts to stay competitive, to get better financing conditions, to be eligible for tenders and to fulfill supplier requirements.

Automate GHG reporting from data in the IT systems you use or manage

Why do double work? Through our simple API implementations you can calculate emissions (scope 1-3) through the systems you already use or manage, like ERP and accounting platforms. Ducky delivers continuously updated data, high accuracy, quick implementation, guaranteed maintenance and a lower cost than comparable solutions. Ducky doesn't require sensitive information about the users and we don't store any data permanently on our side, so you retain full control of your own data.

Climate impact is on track to be as readily available as financial information - where and when decisions are made!

Our ambition from this collaboration is to work towards the UN’s sustainability goals. We must help our customers to contribute every day at home and at work, and we must collaborate with other businesses and the public sector to create a real social change.

Finally, a concrete and very effective climate measure that we as a bank can implement together with our customers. It is consent-based and through our customers’ behavior change we can contribute towards meeting our climate goals. I have great faith that the rest of Bank Norway will join us so that together we can create change and spread this knowledge to the rest of the world!

Data is the fuel that drives our mission

OUR METHODOLOGY

We create a high-quality carbon footprint by gathering data from many sources. Input-output analysis data are the basis, with lifecycle assessment data to fill in the important details. Statistical data from private and public sources is collated to obtain behavioral patterns. All this is gathered and run through our Calculator, to provide you with the best possible footprint for all applications.

Our Applied Research experts stay on top of the cutting edge of consumption-based emissions accounting - so you don't have to.

The science of calculating climate footprint is constantly evolving. It's getting more accurate and detailed every day, and so we work to keep delivering the most up-to-date data possible. We partner with relevant research organisations like RISE, and private partners like Telia who help us get the best possible data. On top of this data comes our state-of-the-art model for converting emissions multipliers and habit data into a uniquely complete climate footprint.

Our mission is to steer the world towards data-driven climate action, so delivering the best data is our highest priority.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Ducky measure greenhouse gases in CO₂-equivalents?

Chevron

In order to look at the effect of different greenhouse gases as a whole, we convert the amount of different gases to CO₂ equivalents, or kg CO₂e. This is a unit that takes into account both how much a type of gas contributes to warming and how long it stays in the atmosphere. Methane for instance has a much stronger heating effect than CO₂ but also breaks down relatively quickly in the atmosphere. In sum, 1 kg of methane emitted corresponds to 25 kg CO₂e emitted.

What is the problem with focusing on direct emissions?

Chevron

Through international agreements, the countries of the world have set great ambitions to reduce direct emissions. The risk is that the measures taken in rich regions may be ineffective, and in some cases lead to an equivalent increase in emissions in regions where industry is growing rapidly. Especially if control and reporting systems are weak. This is why we must also set up consumption-based climate accounts, especially for rich regions.

What is a footprint and what does it have to do with emissions?

Chevron

A footprint is a number that describes how much a person's lifestyle affects the planet. Ducky focuses on climate footprints, where we measure people's contributions to global warming. Other footprints, such as land use and water consumption, are also important when it comes to sustainability.
Climate footprint is the sum of direct and indirect emissions associated with a person - a personal and consumption-based climate account. You must first understand your own footprint in order to find out which climate measures you can do that might have a great effect.

Why is the footprint on Ducky different from what I've seen before?

Chevron

Since there is no industrial or academic standard for climate footprints, other calculations will vary from ours. The databases and the reference year of the data used in the calculations can also affect results. Fortunately the world is moving in the right direction and newer data often gives both higher precision and lower footprints.

Why doesn’t Ducky offer carbon offsetting services?

Chevron

There are many schemes where you can pay someone in exchange for promises of emission cuts. Documentation and regulation of such promises are generally lacking. Read more about carbon offsetting and renewable energy guarantees of origin.

Which countries is Ducky available in?

Chevron

Datasets are currently available for Norway, Japan and the UK. This means that our calculations are based on country-specific emissions and local statistical data. For Norway we also have fine-grained footprint baseline numbers and some additional output options.
We can quite add coarse-grained data sets further up in the hierarchy. This means if we add for instance averages for Europe, this will be used for all countries in Europe except where we have more details (currently Norway and UK).
