Project brief
The brief records the business question, intended use of the model and people who need to take part.
LCA MODELLING AND FUEL DEVELOPMENT
How the models are built.
Manufacturer data goes into Minviro XYCLE, where the scope, sources and assumptions remain open to inspection. Gasol combines completed TEA and LCA work with agronomy trials at Langford, Bristol, to inform its planned pilot.
LCA+ · DECISION METHOD
What goes into the Minviro XYCLE model.
We begin by agreeing the part of the organisation that the work needs to cover, which may be a site, one production line, a process or a wider supply chain. The client then provides the operational records that are available for that boundary.
Minviro XYCLE combines those records with suitable background datasets. LCA+ covers Scopes 1–4: direct emissions, purchased energy, value chain emissions and avoided emissions. Scope 4 is an emerging concept and is presented separately from the Scopes 1–3 inventory.
LCA+ · DECISION METHOD
How the LCA+ model takes shape.
Available data
We examine coverage, time period and source quality before deciding where estimates or background datasets are required.
Baseline model
Production and supply chain information is assembled in Minviro XYCLE, with the relevant functional unit and system boundary applied to the calculation.
Hotspot analysis
The model locates significant emissions and relates them to resource use and cost within the operation.
Options under review
We compare the likely carbon effect with the client's costs, implementation work and operating constraints.
Written recommendation
The final document sets out the modelled pathway, practical opportunities and the implementation plan agreed for the project.
LCA+ · DECISION METHOD
What the client can inspect and challenge.
The project record includes the model boundary, data sources, significant assumptions and the reason each opportunity was carried forward. This gives the client enough context to question an input or update the analysis when better information becomes available.
We are still formalising our standard protocol for baseline adjustments, measurement periods and verification after implementation. TBC · T04Confirm baseline adjustments, measurement periods and verification protocol
GASOL · UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Field data changes the Gasol model.
ORE has completed techno economic and life cycle assessments comparing broomcorn with wheat straw and corn stover. Agronomy and precision compost trials at Langford, Bristol, are adding field evidence to the programme, with Aminu reporting higher yield and lower carbon intensity in the early results.
The current evidence chain runs through feedstock specification, conversion, cost and policy review before a final pilot decision at Langford.
GASOL · UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Work between trial and pilot.
Field record
Langford, Bristol, is the site of agronomy and precision compost trials. Early results show higher yield and lower carbon intensity, as reported by Aminu.
Feedstock specification
ORE still needs a feedstock specification covering the composition and handling requirements of the selected ethanol process.
Updated analysis
Actual trial and conversion evidence will replace assumptions in the techno economic and life cycle models.
Pilot decision
The final scope will reflect the conversion route, policy position, buyer requirements and cost case established through the earlier work.
GASOL · UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The Langford pilot is still being scoped.
ORE is working through the conversion process, the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation position and the commercial assumptions behind its buyer case. TBC · T12/T14/T15Complete conversion, RTFO and buyer validation
