Life Cycle Assessment & Carbon Accounting
Know the environmental impact of your product, process or service — and turn that evidence into regulatory standing and market access.
Life Cycle Assessment is our primary methodology for assessing environmental impact across every stage of a life cycle: materials, production, use and end of life. Done properly, it does more than produce a number — it identifies where the impact actually sits and what changing it is worth.
For clients pursuing carbon markets, an LCA is the scientific foundation. It establishes the business-as-usual baseline, quantifies the reductions against it, and does so under ISO 14040 and ISO 14067 so the result survives scrutiny from regulators, buyers and auditors.
Capabilities
What this includes
Life cycle assessment
Cradle-to-grave and cradle-to-gate assessments covering greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and broader environmental impact categories.
ISO standards and Product Category Rules
Green Analytics is well versed in ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14067 and the Product Category Rules that govern comparability in your sector.
Environmental Product Declarations
EPD development that documents the environmental impact of a product across its life cycle — increasingly a condition of entry for public and institutional procurement.
Carbon credit pathways
Baseline setting, emission reduction quantification and offset project documentation, including submissions under provincial quantification protocols.
Carbon modelling
Sequestration and emission modelling across land use, forestry and industrial systems, with the assumptions stated and tested.
Environmental management standards
Practical support navigating the standards, protocols and reporting frameworks your customers and regulators are asking about.
Jeff Wilson
Senior Economist
Jeff specialises in environmental and natural resource economics, with particular expertise in natural capital, ecosystem services, non-market valuation and cost-benefit analysis. He is experienced with complex systems and agent-based modelling tools that better capture the dynamics between social and ecological systems.
