En ny tilnærming til livssyklusanalyser for viktige bruksmønstre (SkatteFUNN)

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Variable develops high-impact software for low-carbon hardware - allowing clients to take control of product life cycle emissions by optimizing their sourcing strategies and manufacturing processes. Mirroring an award from Innovation Norway while staying within state-aid- rules, the primary objective of the project is to design, build and test a minimum viable product (MVP, pre-commercial prototype) of a novel software for modeling, connecting and managing Scope 3 emissions that provides input to design choices for manufactured goods based on live LCA estimates. A proprietary modeling engine will cater to emission factors, with connections for actual, product-level data. Simplicity and usability are also key for a highly automated approach. Service design plays an important role when engaging with a large design agency and product developer. Data-driven research methodology forms the basis for iterations in which we assess the use and limitations of new methods and functionality.
