Professor Kate Simonen launches the POD|LCA Project with a webinar October 28, 2026. Details below.
Did you see our carbon sink?
While the carbon-storing potential of a cat in the sink may be difficult to assess with LCA, the challenge of evaluating carbon-storing materials and buildings is very real.
Researchers, manufacturers, designers, and policymakers are increasingly interested in carbon storage. But understanding the full climate impacts requires transparent data, methods, and life cycle assessment tools.
That’s why the POD|LCA Project exists.
Supported by funding from Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), the University of Washington team is releasing an open-source ecosystem of screening-level LCA methods, models, data, and tools designed to accelerate research and innovation.
Join us on October 28 at 9:00 AM Pacific to see the tools in action and learn how they can support the evaluation of novel building materials and systems.
