Your LCA methodology determines whether carbon credit applications succeed or fail, whether your investors and customers view your claims as credible or dismiss them as greenwashing. The technical decisions you make—how you handle allocation, incomplete datasets, biogenic carbon—can shift your carbon footprint by 50% or more.

In this webinar, Boundless experts will walk you through the most frequent LCA pitfalls we see across industries and discuss actionable solutions that we use in our third-party validated reports.

You’ll learn how to:
-Navigate allocation challenges when your process generates multiple products or co-products; understanding when to use mass, energy, or economic allocation and why choosing the wrong method can swing your carbon footprint by 50% or more
-Handle incomplete or imperfect datasets without compromising accuracy using our proven tiered substitution hierarchy and data quality scoring criteria
-Apply biogenic carbon accounting correctly to avoid compliance issues with carbon credit standards like VERRA, Gold Standard, and Puro.Earth
-Choose the right databases, proxies, and impact factors for your specific technology and avoid mixing methodologies that lead to incompatible results
-Understand manufacturing boundaries, comparison requirements, and circular economy considerations that trip up even sophisticated technical teams

Real-world examples included: Detailed case studies from food production, energy generation, and bio-agriculture showing how proper methodology selection dramatically changed results and strategic decisions.

Who should attend: Advanced tech founders, R&D teams, sustainability managers, and anyone using LCAs for grant applications, carbon credits, customer acquisition, or regulatory compliance.

Walk away with: Clear frameworks for identifying and correcting common mistakes, plus practical guidance on when to invest in baseline vs. ISO-compliant LCAs for your business goals.
