CNBC.com | 09 Jul 2009 Software Giants Rush to Cash In on Carbon Counting

Like many markets expected to grow quickly to maturity, in the end big players will dominate and niche players will survive and thrive, with the middle tier getting run over. So many ECA software makers are pointing out their differentiation now, to avoid the Microsoft or SAP steamroller while racking up clients. Some focus on broader corporate sustainability goals that go beyond just tracking emissions.

"Once you really dig, you’ll see a very, very large difference (between ECA packages) because the market is so convoluted," says Karen Alonardo, founder of San Francisco’s CSRware. Her firm's package focuses on energy, solid waste, water management and "green" IT, and they've garnered clients like Bloomberg and VMware [VMW 28.60 0.34 (+1.2%) ] . Reducing carbon emissions becomes a byproduct of using their system, she says, instead of the primary goal. "I personally don't think carbon is separate." While CSRware works towards aligning a client's consumption patterns with their sustainability goals, in today's economic climate, the bottom line is always an issue, so they want products like CSRware as an audit to see where savings can be found. "Everyone asks. 'Who is the target?'" says Alonardo, referring to potential clients. "There could be up to 20 titles – chief sustainability officers, chief operating officers – but every company out there wants to save money."

CNNMoney.com | earth2tech | 17 Jul 2009 - 10 Startups Selling Software to Manage Carbon

"When the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, tells (WMT) tens of thousands of suppliers to start tracking and disclosing the environmental impact of their products, odds are they're gonna listen. That means the companies selling carbon management software will be prepping for a wave of new customers looking to find tools to help them dig through their supply chains and unleash data about how much carbon is emitted or water used during the production and shipping of each product."

One of ten selected: "CSRware Software-as-a-service that enables companies to track their use of resources like power and water."

GreenTech Enterprise | 03 Jun 2009 - "Carbon Accounting: It’s All About Appearances"

... The report found that the market for carbon accounting software in the United States today is a relatively paltry $10 million or so, although it's expected to double annually over the coming years, said Paul Baier, vice president of consulting for Groom Energy. That may not sound very promising at first for the raft of carbon accounting software startups like CarbonFlow, Planet Metrics and CSRware looking to carbon cap-and-trade legislation now being debated in Congress to jump-start the market.
