Set targets that matter.
Science-based targets are carbon reduction goals aligned with the latest climate science — specifically the Paris Agreement's aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Noissime's target-setting module helps you define near-term and long-term reduction pathways following SBTi methodology, then tracks your progress against those targets with real-time data.
Targets grounded in science, not guesswork
Noissime generates target recommendations aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) methodology. Choose a 1.5°C or well-below 2°C pathway, set your base year, and the platform calculates the annual reduction rate required for each scope. Every target is traceable back to the science.
- 1.5°C and well-below 2°C pathway options
- Separate near-term and long-term targets
- Scope-specific reduction rates
- Customisable base year and target year
Year-over-year comparison at a glance
See exactly how your emissions have changed from one year to the next. Noissime breaks down the comparison by scope, by category, and by site, so you know precisely which actions are driving reductions and where more effort is needed.
- Multi-year trending with base year comparison
- Scope-level and category-level breakdowns
- Proactive alerts when you drift off the pathway
- Intensity metrics (per employee, per revenue, per unit)
Targets that drive real reduction
SBTi aligned
Every target is generated using SBTi-approved methodologies, including sector-specific decarbonisation approaches where applicable. Ready for formal SBTi submission.
Trajectory modelling
Visualise your pathway to net zero. Model different scenarios, compare 1.5°C versus 2°C trajectories, and see exactly what annual reduction rate is required.
Progress alerts
Receive notifications when your emissions deviate from the target pathway. Monthly progress reports go to your team automatically, keeping everyone accountable.
Science-based targets grounded in proven methodology
Setting carbon reduction targets requires more than picking a percentage. Noissime follows the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard to ensure your targets are credible, validated, and achievable.
Near-term and long-term science-based targets
The SBTi framework requires organisations to set both near-term carbon reduction targets (typically 5-10 years) and long-term science-based targets aligned with reaching net zero by 2050. Noissime calculates the required annual reduction rate for each timeframe based on your chosen pathway -- whether 1.5°C or well-below 2°C. Near-term science-based targets address your most urgent emission sources, while long-term carbon reduction targets chart the full decarbonisation journey.
Scope-specific reduction pathways
Science-based targets are not one-size-fits-all. Scope 1 and 2 carbon reduction targets follow absolute contraction pathways, requiring the same percentage reduction regardless of business growth. Scope 3 science-based targets can use either absolute or intensity-based approaches, depending on your sector and value chain structure. Noissime models both options and recommends the approach most aligned with your organisation's growth trajectory and industry benchmarks.
Sector-specific decarbonisation
For sectors with published SBTi decarbonisation pathways -- including power, transport, buildings, and cement -- Noissime applies the sector-specific approach to your carbon reduction targets. This ensures your science-based targets reflect the unique decarbonisation challenges and timelines of your industry, rather than relying on a generic cross-sector pathway.
Base year selection
Choose any year with complete data as your baseline. Science-based targets are calculated relative to this base year, with adjustments for structural changes.
1.5°C pathway
Model carbon reduction targets aligned with limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the most ambitious pathway under science-based targets.
Intensity metrics
Track science-based targets per employee, per revenue, or per unit of output, allowing fair comparison as your organisation grows.
Validation readiness
Carbon reduction targets generated by Noissime follow SBTi criteria, making formal validation straightforward when you are ready to submit.
AI-generated carbon reduction plans to hit your targets
Setting science-based targets is the commitment. Carbon reduction plans are the roadmap. Noissime generates both, free with every paid account.
Impact-ranked actions
Your free carbon reduction plan ranks every recommended action by tCO2e savings, ensuring you focus on the changes that make the biggest difference toward your science-based targets.
Cost-per-tonne analysis
Each action in the carbon reduction plan includes estimated cost per tonne of CO2e avoided. Finance teams can prioritise carbon reduction targets investments that deliver the best return.
Adaptive planning
As new data enters Noissime, your carbon reduction plan updates automatically. If you commission solar panels and your Scope 2 drops, the plan recalculates remaining actions needed to hit your science-based targets.
Monitor carbon reduction targets in real time
Science-based targets only drive change if you track progress rigorously. Noissime's target dashboard shows exactly where your organisation stands against both near-term and long-term carbon reduction targets, updated automatically as data flows in from scope tracking, document intelligence, and supplier outreach.
The trajectory chart visualises your actual emissions against the science-based targets pathway. When you drift above the line, proactive alerts notify your team and the carbon reduction plan updates with corrective actions. When you are ahead of your carbon reduction targets, the platform highlights which initiatives are delivering the greatest impact so you can double down.
Monthly and quarterly progress reports are generated automatically and can be shared with your board, investors, or compliance team. These reports connect your carbon reduction targets performance directly to the actions in your carbon reduction plan, showing a clear link between strategy and results. Combined with the broader Noissime platform, science-based targets become a living, operational tool rather than a static commitment.
