Ecoengineers and LRQA Launch LCA Academy 2025

Houston Forum, Oct. 7-8, to Show How to Unlock Revenue Streams Through Life-Cycle Analysis

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EcoEngineers (Eco), a clean energy consulting, auditing, and advisory firm recently acquired by leading risk management partner LRQA, is hosting the Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) Academy 2025, October 7–8 at the Petroleum Club in Houston.

EcoEngineers launched the LCA Academy in 2024 to help energy producers, product manufacturers, carbon removal developers and corporate sustainability teams turn business risk into opportunity, by using LCA not only to meet global regulatory requirements but to unlock new revenue opportunities.

This year, Eco is teaming with LRQA to bring together expertise from both organizations. LRQA offers connected risk management solutions to help clients navigate the constantly evolving global landscape. Building on unrivalled expertise in compliance and certification, LRQA helps clients mitigate risk across operations and supply chains, advancing technologies, cyber threats and sustainability demands.

“The LCA Academy shows participants how small, data-driven changes to their models can translate into outsized financial impact, sometimes millions of dollars per year, while reducing risk and positioning their companies as industry leaders,” said Shashi Menon, CEO of EcoEngineers. “As governments and trading blocs roll out stricter requirements, businesses must adopt robust LCA methodologies to stay competitive.”

LCA is increasingly central to compliance with a fast-evolving web of regulations across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and other international markets. Given this evolving regulatory landscape, the LCA Academy delivers a hands-on, forward-looking curriculum that empowers participants to understand LCA methodologies and regulatory requirements in both a decarbonizing and de-risked policy environment.

The forum will address the latest regulations in the U.S., including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations, along with the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED), Emissions Trading System (ETS), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), FuelEU Maritime, ReFuelEU Aviation, Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and others. By linking these incentives directly to LCA outcomes, regulations elevate accurate carbon intensity modeling to a financial imperative.

LRQA adds decades of experience in climate performance and sustainability to the event. They bring global reach, deep sector expertise, and independent authority – helping organizations turn ambition into measurable progress. From experience from large-scale renewable projects to corporate climate programs, LRQA will offer participants a chance to deepen their understanding of supply chain integrity under shifting U.S. policy paradigms.

The program begins with sessions that lay the foundation for understanding LCA methodologies, data quality, and policy applications, followed by four hands-on technical tracks:

• Low-Carbon Fuels – Carbon Intensity (CI) scoring for renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and hydrogen, including hands-on training with Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET), 45V/45Z calculators, and international models.
• Product Supply Chains – Integrating LCA with Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure, including the implications of regulations like California’s SB 253.
• Biogas – Applying the California (CA)-GREET Tier 1 calculator and the American Biogas Council’s Biogas (ABC) Carbon Accounting Tool (CAT) for renewable natural gas (RNG) pathways developed with EcoEngineers.
• Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) – Exploring practical approaches to biochar, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), enhanced rock weathering, and marine CDR, along with registry requirements from Puro.earth and Isometric.

In addition to technical learning, participants will engage in interactive panels, peer-to-peer best practice exchanges, and networking with leaders from industry and government. Attendees will leave with not only a certificate of completion, but also a clear roadmap for using LCAs to meet compliance obligations and seize opportunities in voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
