Life Cycle Associates analyzes the energy and environmental impacts of fuels and energy systems. We work with clients around the world to further the reduction of harmful emissions and negative impacts on the environment and climate. Our qualifications are based on over seventy years of cumulative experience in alternative fuels, fuel production processes, fuel certification and environmental impacts. We have worked with a broad range of fuels and processes, and have extensive expertise in model development. A significant portion of our work in biofuels and other alternative fuels concerns the evaluation of new fuel production technologies, their energy balance, and economics.
Life Cycle Associates is an expert in life cycle analysis studies, including those to establish fuel pathway carbon intensities (CI) for the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), EPA RFS2, and EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED). We developed software tools and methods that allow these assessments to be completed quickly and accurately. These tools include a system to analyze complex pathways from a variety of feedstocks; therefore, supporting multiple production pathways. We have a wealth of experience in registering and updating fuel pathways with government agencies, work with fuel producers to monitor compliance under the LCFS regulations, and determine applicability of the IRA provisions.
