What Climate Neutral does

Climate Neutral, operating under the legal name MMII Climate Neutral Technologies Inc., is a privately held Canadian software company headquartered in Windsor, Ontario. Founded by Dr. Kyle Bassett, a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering whose prior role as a Community Energy Planner in Ontario informed the product roadmap, the company develops and sells the CERCA 2050 suite of web-based climate action software tools. The platform is designed for municipalities and local governments in North America and includes GHG Inventory Assessment (Living Inventory), Net-Zero Planning Tools, Climate Action Modelling, Carbon Budget Accounting, Climate Data Portals, and a Climate Plan Database containing over 500 public plans from US and Canadian communities, along with an add-on Greening the Fleet App. The applications run in a standard web browser without installation, store data locally as plain text files to simplify public-sector IT approvals, and perform automated emissions calculations aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology recommended by the EPA and Partners for Climate Protection.

Core offering

Climate Neutral develops and sells a web-based SaaS platform (the CERCA 2050 suite) that enables municipalities and public-sector organizations to measure greenhouse gas emissions, model future emissions to 2050, design climate action and net-zero plans, and manage carbon budgets. The software performs automated calculations based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, runs in any modern web browser without installation, and is designed for non-technical municipal staff.

Product overview

Climate Neutral offers a unified climate action software platform designed for municipalities and public sector organizations. The core portfolio consists of Living Inventory (GHG Inventory Assessment) for measuring and reporting emissions, Net-Zero Planning Tools for emissions forecasting to 2050, Climate Action Modelling for custom reduction plans with cost/benefit analysis, Carbon Budget Accounting for budget tracking, Climate Data Portals for live dashboards, and the Climate Plan Database of over 500 public plans. Additional offerings include the Greening the Fleet App for fleet sustainability, plus free municipal tools (Pathway Calculator, Benchmark Tool, KnowledgeApp) accessible through sign-up. The software is web-based, requires no installation, and calculations are based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology.
