Level 3

This introductory workshop helps to define life-cycle analysis (LCA) as a process, what drives the need for an LCA, and what boundaries the different models use. Once the baseline is set, trainers introduce a specific model and walk through the steps used to calculate a carbon intensity score of a product or pathway as it’s needed for participation in a low-carbon fuel regulation or overall carbon reduction goal.

Modules available

  • LCA with Argonne GREET and CA-GREET
  • LCA with GHGenius
  • LCA with SimaPro
  • LCA with OpenLCA
  • LCA with Sphera/GaBi

Market Outlooks

We’re passionate about educating our clients on their journey to clean energy. The experts on our EcoUniversity team have worked in the regulatory landscape for decades. We have analyzed data from two of the most influential low carbon fuels programs in the United States — the U.S. federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Our two annual outlooks and periodic updates throughout the year on both programs give your business an advantage regarding regulatory changes occurring in your markets.
