What it is

Tellus Markets is an enterprise decarbonization SaaS platform positioned around connecting emissions data and climate strategy with digital marketplaces for clean power, carbon credits, and RECs. Its product suite consists of Tellus Sustain, Tellus PPA, and Tellus Carbon, covering a decarbonization loop from “inventory—analysis—procurement—reporting.” It targets sustainability teams, CFOs, clean power buyers, and carbon credit buyers.

Core features

Tellus Sustain collects emissions data, analyzes carbon footprints, and generates compliance-ready reports. It currently covers operational data in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, with the text specifically noting support for climate disclosure requirements in California and Australia. Tellus PPA is a clean power procurement marketplace that helps companies move from load forecasting through to signing a PPA. The website says it can reduce reliance on traditional RFP and broker-led processes, though it currently operates only in the United States. Tellus Carbon provides procurement for carbon credits and U.S. RECs, with filtering by project type, location, attributes, and quality standards, as well as support for online negotiation and contract signing.

Pricing and deployment

The website does not disclose specific plans, unit pricing, transaction commissions, or minimum purchase amounts. It only provides entry points for booking a demo, registration, and login. The terms of service indicate that registration or use of certain regions or services may require payment. Buyers therefore need to request pricing directly and confirm subscription fees, marketplace transaction fees, and any consulting-service charges before procurement. Based on the website description, deployment appears to be a cloud platform accessed via web login; no private deployment option is mentioned.

Pros and cons

Its main strength is combining carbon accounting with marketplaces for decarbonization actions, reducing enterprise dependence on brokers and manual processes when procuring clean power and carbon credits. Carbon credit filtering emphasizes quality standards, which may help reduce greenwashing risk. The weakness is the lack of key SaaS procurement information: there is no public detail on a free trial, permission model, third-party integrations, API, security certifications, or data compliance. In addition, PPA and Tellus Carbon are currently mainly limited to the United States, with Australian expansion planned for 2026.

Best fit and access from China

It is better suited to mid-sized and large enterprises with operations in the United States, Canada, Australia, or the United Kingdom that need climate disclosure support, PPA procurement, or carbon credit purchasing. Access from China cannot be determined from the available text, and payment methods are not disclosed. If a China-based team is considering procurement, it should focus on evaluating network accessibility, cross-border contracting and payment, data export requirements, and alignment with local disclosure standards. Comparable options include Persefoni, Watershed, Sweep, Salesforce Net Zero Cloud, as well as local ESG and carbon management service providers in China.
