June 2026

17 June 2026 — Spend-based emissions: source currency preserved for audit

For finance and auditors. Invoices in USD, EUR, GBP, NZD, CAD and SGD now flow through Carbonly with the original currency intact. Conversion to your reporting currency happens at report-render time, with the FX rate source disclosed in the report footer. This keeps spend-based emissions aligned with NGER section 22XB methodology disclosure and AASB S2 paragraph B22, and means your stored emission ledger is reproducible years after the fact.

17 June 2026 — More accurate fuel and material matching against the NGA library

Unleaded petrol, ULP, gasoline, biodiesel and a hundred-plus other common materials now route to the correct NGA emission factor on first upload. Specialty-fuel lookups (aviation, marine, kerosene) no longer mismatch with their generic counterparts. A new "Search NGA library" button lets reviewers override the suggestion on the spot when the source document uses an unusual product name.

16 June 2026 — Auditor Workspace, locked reporting periods, and the Evidence Pack

For auditors, finance and NGER reporters. Your external assurance team now has a dedicated read-only workspace. They can step through any reporting period, see the lock state and submission framework (NGER, AASB S2, Safeguard Mechanism, Climate Active, or internal), and one-click generate an Evidence Pack: a single ZIP that traces every kilogram of CO2-e back to source documents, with content fingerprints and the audit-event trail. Built for ASSA 5010 limited assurance and ISAE 3410 engagements. How this maps to ASSA 5010.

16 June 2026 — NGER compliance view: threshold tracking and per-gas breakdown

For NGER reporters. A live view showing where each facility sits relative to the 25 ktCO2-e and 100 TJ facility threshold, and where the corporate group sits relative to the 50 ktCO2-e and 200 TJ group threshold. Tracks every greenhouse gas separately under both AR5 (NGER) and AR6 (AASB S2) global warming potentials. NGER threshold rules explained.

16 June 2026 — Email Inbox: forward dockets from the field straight to the project

For site and ops managers. Site managers and subcontractors can forward fuel dockets, utility bills and supplier invoices to a project-specific email address. Carbonly identifies the sender, ranks trust (registered user, whitelisted domain, or unknown), extracts data from every attachment in turn, and surfaces failures in a drill-down drawer with one-click retry. The 10,000-receipt construction story.

16 June 2026 — Per-page visibility across Word, PowerPoint, RTF, scanned and image-only PDFs

Multi-page invoices, slide-deck reports and scanned dockets now extract with explicit page boundaries. The system no longer flattens a 15-slide PPTX or a six-page invoice into one undifferentiated text blob. Every line item carries its source page, completeness checks fire when expected items go missing, and reviewers can jump from any extracted record back to the exact page it came from.

16 June 2026 — Review Copilot answers questions inline during extraction review

For data reviewers. While reviewing an extracted document, ask Carbonly Co-Pilot "is this Origin or AGL?", "should I use this material or that?", or "is this Scope 1 or Scope 2?" without leaving the review screen. Copilot answers the question directly rather than demanding you propose an action you did not intend.

May 2026

28 May 2026 — Joint venture consolidation: operational, financial and equity-share methods

For finance and NGER reporters. Three consolidation methods run in parallel. Operational control is the NGER default. Financial control is often used for AASB S2 alignment with the financial statements. Equity share supports proportional reporting where shareholders expect it. Switch the boundary on a report and the numbers reconcile. How JV consolidation works.

21 May 2026 — Reporting periods with lock, submit and restate workflow

For auditors and finance. Open, locked, submitted and archived states for every reporting period. Locking freezes the ledger against new writes inside the period window. Submitting captures the framework and an optional reference. Restating requires written justification that becomes load-bearing audit evidence under the NGER seven-year retention rule.

14 May 2026 — Targets module: science-aligned and operational targets in one view

Set absolute targets, intensity targets and net-zero pathway targets with baseline, target year and interim milestones. Variance from trajectory is computed on the live ledger and surfaced on the executive dashboard.

7 May 2026 — MACC: marginal abatement cost curves for capital planning

For finance and sustainability leads. Plot every emission-reduction action against its cost per tonne avoided. The MACC view feeds capex prioritisation directly — at the current shadow carbon price, which interventions clear the threshold under each scenario.

April 2026

23 April 2026 — Material library learning loop

Every accept or reject of an emission-factor suggestion teaches the matcher. The first time a reviewer confirms a supplier-specific name to a NGA factor, the next document that lists the same product lands on the right factor automatically.

16 April 2026 — EPD library integration with Australasian provenance flagging

Environmental Product Declarations from EPD Australasia surface alongside generic NGA factors. When a supplier provides a verified EPD, Carbonly preferences it over the regional average and flags it on the report so the auditor sees the data quality lift.

9 April 2026 — Anomaly detection across the emission ledger

For data reviewers and auditors. A scan that surfaces line items that look wrong: fuel consumption ten times the site average, a refrigerant top-up the size of the original charge, a Scope 2 figure that flips sign. Findings are ranked by confidence and link straight to the source document.

March 2026

26 March 2026 — All fifteen Scope 3 subcategories tracked separately

Categories 1 through 15 each get their own ledger, methodology label (spend, average-data, hybrid, supplier-specific), and disclosure tile. AASB S2 paragraph 29(a)(vi) disaggregation by category falls out of the report automatically. The 15 Scope 3 categories explained.

19 March 2026 — Custom dashboards with drag-and-drop tiles

Build a board view for the CEO, a site view for the operations lead, and a Scope 3 view for the procurement team. Every tile points at the underlying ledger query and refreshes as data lands.

12 March 2026 — Custom report builder

On top of the standard NGER, AASB S2 and Executive Summary templates, build your own report with the sections, charts and disclosures your audience expects. PDF and Excel export, with the source-document references attached.

February 2026

24 February 2026 — MCP server: connect Claude, GPT and compatible AI assistants to your carbon data

A Model Context Protocol server that lets external AI assistants read your emissions, run anomaly scans, generate reports and (with explicit permission) take actions inside your tenant. OAuth-gated, scoped per role, and audited end-to-end. MCP integration details.

17 February 2026 — API keys with scoped permissions and IP allowlisting

Generate API keys per integration with the exact permissions that integration needs and optional IP allowlists. Every API call is logged against the key for revocation and forensics.

10 February 2026 — Outbound webhooks for emission events

Push events to your downstream systems when emissions are created, an extraction completes, a period is locked or an anomaly is flagged. Signed payloads, retry semantics, and a delivery log.

January 2026

28 January 2026 — Carbon planning module: scenarios, action library, cost-benefit

For sustainability leads and finance. Model 1.5°C, 2°C and 3°C pathways against your actual ledger. The action library starts with sector-specific levers (electrification, renewable PPAs, fleet transition, refrigerant retrofits) and you add your own. Each action carries a cost-per-tonne. Scenario modelling walkthrough.

21 January 2026 — Three Copilot autonomy modes: Shadow, Co-pilot, Trusted

Shadow mode logs Copilot suggestions without acting on them — useful for the first few weeks. Co-pilot mode proposes actions for human approval. Trusted mode lets Copilot post emissions directly when its confidence clears your threshold. Switch per-project, audited per-event.

14 January 2026 — AR5 and AR6 GWP toggle on report generation

The NGER report renders under AR5 global warming potentials (as the regulation requires). The AASB S2 report renders under AR6. Same underlying activity data, different multipliers, both reconciled. No double entry. AR5 vs AR6 explained.

December 2025

18 December 2025 — Life Cycle Assessment module: product-level footprinting

Build a cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave footprint for any product in your range. Bill of materials, energy inputs, transport stages, end-of-life — each backed by an emission factor and a source. The output is an EPD-ready document. Product carbon footprinting guide.

11 December 2025 — Incidents module: track emissions-related incidents end-to-end

Refrigerant leaks, fuel spills, flaring events, near-misses. Capture the incident, the root cause, the remediation, the regulatory notification status, and the emissions impact in one record. Surfaces on the audit committee report.

4 December 2025 — Seven-year audit trail retention with content fingerprints

Every emission write, every factor change, every period transition is captured as a typed audit event with the actor, timestamp and content hash. Retention defaults to seven years to match the NGER Determination, configurable longer if your sector requires it.

November 2025

20 November 2025 — Six-role RBAC plus a separate Supplier Portal

Owner, Admin, Manager, Contributor, Auditor and Viewer cover every internal seat. The Supplier Portal is a separate surface for your suppliers to submit primary data without touching your internal ledger. Permissions and visibility scoped per project.

13 November 2025 — Source-document tracking on every kilogram of CO2-e

Click any line in the emission ledger and see the source document, the extraction event, the reviewer who confirmed it, and the emission factor that was applied. The trace works backward from the report number to the receipt.

October 2025

22 October 2025 — OneDrive and SharePoint folder-per-project sync

Point Carbonly at a OneDrive or SharePoint folder per project. Every new document that lands in the folder is ingested, extracted and queued for review. The folder structure your team already uses becomes the data pipeline.

15 October 2025 — Project-specific email ingestion addresses

Each project gets a unique email address. Forward dockets, bills and invoices straight to the address from the field. Attachments are ingested, the email body is captured as context, and the sender is verified against your registered users and whitelist.

1 October 2025 — Carbonly is generally available: AI Document Engine ships

After private pilots through 2025, the AI Document Engine reaches general availability. Eight file formats supported (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, RTF, image, scanned). Five-tier material matching across the NGA library, EPDs and your own factor catalogue. Confidence scoring on every extracted line. This is the moment carbon accounting in Australia stopped being a spreadsheet job. How the document engine works.
