(https://certscape.earth/), known for its automated emissions-intensity and sustainability-certification technology, and Minviro, a specialist in lifecycle assessment ( LCA
(https://www.minviro.com/resources/blogs/what-is-life-cycle-assessment-lca)
) for raw-material and energy projects, have formalised their collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The agreement lays the groundwork for a unified digital ecosystem that will make it simpler for developers of renewable-gas, low-carbon-fuel and critical-materials projects to meet, and prove, they meet demanding environmental standards.
Today, project teams often lose valuable time assembling evidence for each certification scheme they encounter, while simultaneously trying to generate robust lifecycle data to back their climate claims

. By combining their respective strengths, Minviro and Certscape intend to remove that friction.
Certscape’s cloud platform already keeps pace with shifting regulations and automates the generation, transfer and surrender of Guarantee of Origin certificates across supply chains. Minviro’s LCA technology ( XYCLE
(https://www.minviro.com/xycle)
) complements this by supplying high-resolution cradle-to-gate data that quantifies the environmental footprint of raw materials and energy infrastructures. Together, the two systems can offer a single, continuously updated source of truth, from a project’s first feasibility model through to routine audits in full operation.
The partners have tested this approach once before. On the HyPACT initiative
(https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/press/news-2025/developing--a-sustainable-hydrogen-supply-chain), delivered under the Australia-UK Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership, Minviro’s impact modelling fed directly into Certscape’s certification workflows
(https://www.minviro.com/resources/blogs/navigating-regulatory-landscape-sustainable-materials)
. The exercise proved that pairing accurate lifecycle data with automated certificate management can accelerate compliance while maintaining audit-ready transparency, benefits that both companies now aim to replicate and scale through their MoU.
Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on integrating the two technology platforms so that developers can onboard new projects into relevant certification schemes without duplicating data entry. Building unified, scalable digital tools that serve both early-stage project modelling and ongoing operational compliance
By committing to this collaboration, Minviro and Certscape signal their intent to help the renewable-energy and materials sectors move faster, meet stricter standards and document their achievements with confidence, setting a clearer path toward credible, measurable decarbonisation.
