The brief

Challenge

Most LCA tools assume European industrial contexts. African farms and processors needed assessments that fit their realities and unlock global markets.

The build

Approach

Country-specific factors for Ghana and Nigeria (with continental expansion planned), eight midpoint and three endpoint impact categories, and a Rust core delivering sub-100 ms calculations.

Capacités

What it does

  • Farm assessments in 15–20 minutes
  • Processing assessments in 10–15 minutes
  • Africa-specific impact factors with global fallbacks
  • Designed for EU CBAM, EUDR, and AfCFTA alignment
