GREET Model & Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
We specialize in performing Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for biochar using the GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies) model, developed by Argonne National Laboratory. The GREET model is essential for evaluating the environmental impacts of biochar production, quantifying carbon intensity reduction, and determining carbon credit eligibility.
By leveraging the GREET model, we provide valuable insights into the life cycle stages of biochar, ensuring compliance with regulations while supporting your efforts in achieving significant environmental benefits and maximizing carbon credit opportunities.
As experts in Conservative Practice Standard 336, we assist Biochar producers and farmers in maximizing the benefits of government grants and financial incentives.
Carbon Intensity Reduction
By conducting LCAs using GREET, we can help biochar producers quantify their contribution to carbon intensity reduction.
ISO Compliance
All assessments adhere to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, ensuring globally recognized environmental management practices.
This commitment to ISO compliance ensures the integrity and credibility of our Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for biochar, providing producers with reliable data to support their sustainability initiatives and enhance their reputation in the market.
