What We Do

"Well-to-wheels" (fuel cycle) analysis

Calculation of lifecycle greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions from the production and use of transportation fuels.
  • Net energy balance
  • Emissions of greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants, and toxics
  • Customizations to established LCA models such as GREET and GHGenius
  • Analyses of specific and novel fuel pathways
  • Development of custom user interfaces and other software tools
  • Economic modeling of displacement effects and co-coproducts
  • Analysis of land use impacts

Process analysis

Detailed analysis of energy systems and processes provides the basis of life cycle and economic analyses.
  • Mass and energy balance
  • Process flow analysis
  • Process waste recovery
  • Emissions and economic impacts of fuel switching

Economic analysis

Our life cycle and economic modeling can help guide your capital investment decisions to compete in a carbon constrained economy. We provide economic analyses of energy systems, including:
  • Process analysis improvement
  • Co-product markets
  • Pro-forma investment analysis
  • Cost-effectiveness analysis
  • Investment strategy

GHG strategy

Development of strategies to lower emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants from your production process.
  • Strategies for meeting carbon regulations
  • Evaluation of compliance opportunities and costs
  • Development of carbon finance options
  • Renewable offset strategies
