Company TypeESG Reporting & Disclosure
Life Cycle Associates is an independent business and environmental consulting company with over sixty years cumulative experience in alternative fuels, fuel production processes, fuel certification, delivery logistics, and environmental impacts. The company’s experience combined with its expertise in model development and process design allow Life Cycle Associates to analyze the complex nature of energy and environmental issues in a transparent manner.
Life Cycle Associates has supported over fifty fuel providers through fuel certification under several programs including the California LCFS, the U.S. RFS2 and the European RED. Life Cycle Associates performed feasibility and process analysis studies, including LCA analyses for a variety of renewable fuel developers, including producers of ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel and other renewable and synthetic fuel processes. California Air Resources Board (ARB) employs Life Cycle Associates for GREET model and LCA work for the 14+ renewable fuel pathway carbon intensity (CI) calculations currently published by ARB.
Since its formation in June 2007, Life Cycle Associates has developed a post-processor to GREET to examine future trends in corn ethanol production technologies and agricultural practices based on a thorough understanding of the strengths and limitations of the GREET model, the range of energy inputs and emissions for all fuel pathways, and enhanced analysis methods for a WTW assessment.
