We assist you in evaluating the environmental impact of your products and production processes, including the carbon footprint, in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards.

Description of center’s facilities and equipment

Fraunhofer IGCV has been researching the design of sustainable production systems and lightweight components for 15 years. We evaluate the environmental impacts of products and processes in numerous publicly funded projects as well as through direct industry assignments. Additionally, based on our expertise in composite structures and additive manufacturing, we have developed commercial LCA databases, which are marketed through the company Sphera.

We have access to the LCA for Experts (GaBi) software and the Sphera Professional database (incl. additional databases). Additionally, we have the ability to use our own LCA-databases developed for the composites industry and the additive manufacturing of metals. If you have no knowledge about your energy and material streams or need of a detailed analysis, we can utilize our own measuring equipment to determine electricity consumptions, gas consumptions, compressed air and more. Furthermore, to efficiently analyze the collected measurement data, we have created our own tool, DATo, which allows for a semi-automated analysis.
