Engineered bamboo
Bamboo strips, laminates and panels for structure and finishing, processed near the plantation to emit less.

From researchto decarbonization.
We turn R&D into sustainable products and measure the abatement potential of every technology.
A NUMATS · COPPE/UFRJ spin-off
What we do
Four fronts,
one method.
We measure emissions rigorously and use that measurement to decide: from tailored services to software, from our own products to other industries' waste.

01 · Consulting
Decarbonization
runs on measurement.
We run the numbers behind the decision: how much a product, a process or a company emits, and where the largest reduction lies.
01
Product LCA
Carbon footprint and other life cycle impacts, from cradle to grave.
02
GHG inventory
Your company's Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, ready for reporting and audit.
03
Avoided emissions
How much a technology, route or material reduces against the baseline scenario.
04
Reduction strategy
Targets, scenarios and investment priorities built on measured numbers.

02 · Platform
The same science,
at scale.
Software that compares decarbonization technologies side by side by the carbon they avoid and the cost of each tonne. Our consulting method, applied to entire portfolios.

The emissions of each operation, organized by scope and by source.

Abatement
How much each technology avoids against the baseline scenario, using the Project Frame method.

MACC curve
The cost of each tonne avoided, so you invest first where each dollar cuts the most.

Traceability
Every number linked to its source, emission factor and underlying assumption.

From the lab bench
to industry.
One of our lines of work is turning R&D into sustainable bio-based products. Each one leaves the lab with its carbon footprint measured.

Bio-concretes
Concretes and mortars with plant fibers and aggregates, for lighter elements with less embodied carbon.

04 · Circularity
Waste becomes
raw material.
We study industrial and agricultural waste as a basis for high-performance materials and measure whether the switch actually cuts emissions.

How we transform it
01
Characterize
Composition, reactivity and variability of the waste.
02
Formulate
Mix designs and performance tests in the lab.
03
Measure
LCA of the switch: how much carbon the substitution avoids.

Got waste sitting in your yard? We assess whether it can become a material and how much carbon the switch avoids.
Assess a waste streamWhere we work
For the sectors
that emit the most.
The same method, applied where each tonne avoided matters most: from the building site to the oil platform.
01
Construction
LCA of materials and building systems, with engineered bamboo and bio-concretes as alternatives.
02
Cement and concrete
Process emission inventories and supplementary cementitious materials that reduce clinker.
03
Oil and gas
GHG inventories, equipment LCA and emissions avoided by new technologies.
04
Industry
Investment priorities from the MACC curve and upcycling of process waste.
05
Agriculture and forestry
Agricultural waste, biochar and planted bamboo as a source of biogenic carbon.
Your sector isn't listed? The method works for any product, process or company that needs to measure and reduce emissions.
