Comprehensive GHG accounting, carbon footprinting, carbon credits/offsetting and LCA/EPD services for organizations committed to reduce
environmental impacts and stay competitive in the green
market. Build trust, avoid greenwashing, and demonstrate real environmental value with expert guidance and transparent reporting.
Decarb LCA Inc. is a consulting company specialized in providing greenhouse gas
(GHG) accounting, product carbon footprinting, life cycle assessment
(LCA), environmental product declaration (EPD) services,
and carbon offsetting.
Robust emissions inventories for transparent, compliant reporting tailored to your business needs.
Thorough product life cycle analysis to identify, quantify, and minimize environmental impacts.
Comprehensive evaluation of environmental impacts across every stage of your product or service.
Independent, third-party verified reports to clearly communicate environmental performance.
Strategic offset solutions to credibly balance emissions and support carbon neutrality objectives.
Our robust GHG accounting brings many benefits for companies. The benefits include
enabling companies to meet regulatory requirements and prepare for future carbon
taxes and cap-and-trade systems, reducing emissions by identifying carbon hotspots,
reducing operational costs through optimizing energy efficiency (e.g., better HVAC
systems, LED lighting, etc.), optimizing supply chains by understanding supplier
emissions and shifting to more efficient lower-carbon suppliers, competitive advantage
over competitors, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, and
avoiding greenwashing. In addition, our rigorous GHG accounting enables companies to
low-carbon transition and map out a realistic, data-driven journey towards net-zero
emissions.
GHG emissions reporting (compliance and OBPS (output-based pricing system)reporting) to federal (Greenhouse gas reporting program (GHGRP)) and provincialreporting systems)
GHG emissions verification
GHG emissions inventory quantification and Scopes 1, 2 and 3 reporting
GHG emissions reduction and offsetting
Quantification of product carbon footprint
GHG hotspots analysis and providing strategies for making improvements withrespect to energy and material inputs and processes.
Third Party Review
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a rigorous scientific evaluation of a product's
environmental impact, from raw material extraction (cradle) to disposal (grave). LCA
enables manufacturers to identify environmental hotspots and reduce environmental
impacts of products and enhance brand reputation by preventing "greenwashing".
Reduction of environmental impacts: LCA can identify significant stages in a product's life and energy and material inputs to manufacturing process (hotspots) where environmental improvements can be made.
Cost Savings and improving efficiency: businesses can use LCA to identifyinefficiencies in production and material use and reduce waste and lower operational costs.
Sustainable Product Design (Ecodesign): using LCA, alternative materials or productionmethods can be compared in producing more sustainable and recyclable products, fostering innovation.
Building brand reputation: LCA provides data-driven transparent evidence of a product's environmental impacts for strengthening stakeholder relationships and appealing to eco-friendly consumers.
Screening LCA: a quick, high-level fast and low-cost analyses to identify environmental hotspots, i.e., material and energy inputs and processes thatcontribute the most to the environmental footprint of a product or service.
Detailed/full LCA: comprehensive in-depth assessments conducted inaccordance with ISO standards (14040/14044).
Comparative LCAs: comparative assertions conducted in accordance with ISO14044 to compare the total environmental impacts of two or more functionallyequivalent products or systems
Third Party Review
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent, third-party verified, and standardized data on a product's environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
EPDs are summary reports of environmental impacts calculated using LCA and used for business-to business, or business-to-consumer communications.
Decarb LCA provides strategic directions for businesses for communicatingenvironmental impacts calculated using country or regional specific methodologies forexpanding markets in the countries and/or regions they are interested in.
Our EPD services include:
Developing EPDs and registering with recognized EPD program operators
EPD verification
Carbon offsets and credits are market-based tools used to reduce GHG emissions.
Credits are reductions of GHGs released into the atmosphere and are typically used in
regulated compliance markets. Conversely, offsets are used in voluntary markets by
companies to compensate for their own GHG emissions to claim carbon neutrality.
Our carbon credits and offsetting services include:
Emission offset project development
Assisting with carbon credit purchase and cost evaluation
Verification - independent third-party validation and verification of reductions

A life cycle assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life, from raw material extraction to disposal. This method provides a data-driven foundation for sustainability strategies and regulatory compliance.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting quantifies emissions across your operations, enabling you to identify reduction opportunities, meet regulatory requirements, and demonstrate environmental responsibility to stakeholders.
An EPD is a standardized document that transparently communicates the environmental performance of a product, based on verified LCA data. It supports credible sustainability claims and helps avoid greenwashing.
Carbon offsets compensate for unavoidable emissions by funding projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases elsewhere. They are most effective when used alongside direct emission reduction strategies.
Science-based targets align your organization’s climate goals with the latest climate science, ensuring your reduction efforts contribute meaningfully to global climate objectives and enhance market credibility.
