Optimize LCA frameworks to advance global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) initiatives and reduce GHG emissions. Learn about key regulatory programs and incentives.

Stefan Unnasch leads course for Sustainable Aviation Futures on Carbon Markets for Aviation and Aviation Fuels. The course provides industry leading expertise on the sustainable aviation landscape.

Several international low-carbon fuel markets offer incentives for reduced-CI biofuel. Life cycle analysis and technoeconomic research can help ethanol producers identify markets that offer the best value for their product.

The Bioeconomy 500 list celebrates individuals who have made outstanding leadership contributions to development and deployment of the bioeconomy. Their dedication to advancing sustainability and driving innovation has truly made a significant impact.

California generates millions of tons of wood waste from its farms and forests annually, but less than 20% is repurposed for commercial use. Converting wood waste into biofuels can reduce overall emissions to the atmosphere.

Life Cycle Associates is excited for the California Biomass Workshop, which tackles California’s pressing wood waste crisis and explores sustainable solutions for reducing wildfires, supporting rural economies, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.

We are excited to announce that Stefan Unnasch presents on Life Cycle Analysis and Carbon Accounting at the Sustainable Aviation Futures North America Congress, a significant event in the sustainable aviation field.

Life Cycle Associates developed a credit supply curve depicting the 2022 alternative fuel portfolio in California under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) based on the most recent California Air
Resources Board (CARB) data release.

Join Life Cycle Associates and Christianson PLLP on June 7th at 9am PDT for an informative webinar on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), and GREET model fundamentals, farming CI compliance, maximizing incentives, and more. Register today!

Stefan Unnasch is widely recognized as an expert in life cycle assessment and sustainability and has worked for many years in the biofuels and renewable energy industry.

Life Cycle Associates most recent study confirms the RFS has resulted in aggregate GHG reductions from the use of biofuels that exceed the EPA’s original projections.

Stefan Unnasch will present the findings from the update of the study “GHG Emissions Reductions due to the RFS2” at the National Ethanol Conference on March 2, 2023.

Kathleen Dailey will be speaking about Low CI Hydrogen at the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Seminar on February 9, 2023 in Long Beach, California.

Stefan Unnasch speaks at the Sustainable Aviation Futures North America 2022 congress, which covers insights on North America’s sustainable aviation landscape.

Stefan Unnasch of Life Cycle Associates will be speaking about low carbon strategies for aviation fuels on October 27, 2022 at 2pm/Track B in San Francisco. Listen to his talk to find out what’s the best way to fly with hydrogen.

SAF created from renewable biomass and waste resources has the potential to deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel but with a fraction of its carbon footprint.

Hydrogen is now gaining attention as a possible sustainable aviation fuel alternative. Although promising, hydrogen won’t be able to deliver net-zero carbon emissions on its own.

Life Cycle Associates has been hired to create the Washington GREET model for the Washington Clean Fuel Standard.

The “Life Cycle Analysis of Renewable Fuel Standard Implementation for Thermal Pathways for Wood Pellets and Chips” study, released today, found that biomass fuels from wood pellets and chips reduce GHG emissions by 65-100%.
