UAE‑ and India‑based Travanleo has unveiled Carbon Xpress, a fast‑track module on its Ecodrisil ESG Xpress platform that uses an AI co‑pilot to generate standards‑aligned, export‑ready Scope 1–3 figures for time‑sensitive bids, supplier assessments and climate‑linked financing — but buyers must still verify emission‑factor sources and Scope 3 coverage.
Travanleo, the UAE- and India‑based tech firm behind the Ecodrisil ESG Xpress platform, has rolled out Carbon Xpress—a lean, fast‑track tool for corporate GHG reporting. Citing the original Zawya notice, the product is designed to let organisations capture, compute and deliver audit‑ready carbon numbers quickly, aimed at firms responding to RFPs, supplier assessments, or requests tied to climate‑linked finance. Honestly, speed really matters here.
Travanleo positions Carbon Xpress as a practical plug‑in for time‑sensitive disclosures. “Many enterprises face urgent requests for carbon data, whether during bidding for large contracts, supplier assessments, or while securing green financing,” said Sandeep Nair, Global Business Head at Ecodrisil, in the company announcement. He added that the tool is meant to “enable organisations to act decisively, present credible climate data, and build trust with stakeholders.”
What Carbon Xpress offers
Carbon Xpress sits atop Travanleo’s Ecodrisil ESG Xpress platform and runs natively on ESGAI®, an AI co‑pilot the company describes as smoothing data collection, validation and automated report drafting. Among the standout features promoted at launch are guided onboarding workflows, built‑in emission factors and calculators for Scope 1, Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 categories, standards‑aligned templates, and export‑ready outputs for audits and submissions. You see, the aim is to streamline the whole process so you can move from data capture to ready‑to‑submit reports faster.
The vendor also highlights early commercial traction. The release notes a European technology company using Carbon Xpress to prepare Scope 1 and 2 figures for a high‑value RFP, and a GCC chemical manufacturer integrating the tool for supplier evaluation and international buyer ESG scoring.
Where the product fits in the reporting landscape
Travanleo’s broader platform is being positioned as standards‑aware. The company has said Ecodrisil ESG Xpress was verified for compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s technical criteria and added to GRI’s Software & Tools Partners, according to a company news release. That endorsement, if it holds, would help users preparing GRI‑aligned sustainability disclosures. It’s a big claim, but one that could matter in practice.
Carbon Xpress’s emphasis on standards alignment mirrors broader market pressure. The GHG Protocol’s Scope 3 standard points out that value‑chain emissions are often the largest slice of a company’s footprint and require careful mapping across fifteen categories. Meanwhile, CDP’s corporate disclosure framework is increasingly aligned with IFRS S2 and EU ESRS obligations, positioning disclosure tools as prep work for mandatory regimes. Taken together, these dynamics mean providers must keep methodological updates and regulatory linkages front and center.
Data inputs and quality caveats
Built‑in emission factors and automated calculators speed reporting, no doubt. But industry users will scrutinise which factor sets a tool uses. Public references such as national inventories, IPCC guidance and the US EPA’s emission factors hub remain common go‑tos. The EPA updated several factors in 2025 — including those for purchased electricity and mobile combustion — and added regional grid loss percentages to better reflect transmission and distribution losses used in Scope 3 calculations. Organizations relying on embedded factors should confirm their provenance and update cadence, especially when disclosures feed finance or procurement decisions.
Keeping editorial distance
Travanleo and Ecodrisil frame Carbon Xpress as a solution to a recurring business problem: the need for rapid, auditable carbon numbers. They claim the AI co‑pilot yields higher confidence disclosures with less manual effort. Independent users and auditors, though, will still need to validate inputs, emission factors and calculation pathways before treating outputs as definitive. In practice, rapid reporting tools offer the most value when paired with governance that documents assumptions and ensures traceability.
Implications for the UAE climate‑tech ecosystem
For climate tech players in the UAE, a fast, standards‑aware reporting product can lower the friction of regional decarbonisation projects. The Gulf’s industrial and petrochemical sectors are facing growing buyer and lender scrutiny, and simpler pathways to compile audit‑ready scopes could speed supplier onboarding and access to green finance. At the same time, the region’s quick uptake of climate frameworks means vendors must support multiple standards and frequent methodological changes. It’s a balance that product developers will need to manage carefully.
What to watch next
Prospective buyers will likely focus on three areas: which emission‑factor libraries Carbon Xpress uses, how the tool handles the breadth and depth of Scope 3 categories, and the platform’s interoperability with upstream systems and supplier data channels. Observers will also check whether the GRI verification cited by the vendor appears in third‑party assessments and whether integrations with CDP, ISSB/IFRS S2 and ESRS workflows follow suit.
Travanleo says Ecodrisil ESG Xpress is trusted by more than twenty organisations and that Carbon Xpress is already live in several implementations. For companies in the UAE weighing rapid disclosure needs against rising regulatory and investor expectations, the offering could be a handy instrument—provided users pair it with careful governance, independent validation and attention to the evolving technical references that underpin credible carbon reporting.
