The industry in 2026

Your customers want carbon data tied to your operation, not the industry average

Cell manufacturers, OEMs, traders and refiners use site-specific carbon data to compare suppliers and prepare their own product footprints. Minviro models your orebody, process route and energy mix rather than relying on an industry average. Lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earths are not currently CBAM goods. Battery supply-chain due diligence is a separate requirement: applicable obligations for in-scope battery economic operators have been postponed to 18 August 2027 under Regulation (EU) 2025/1561. An LCA can support environmental evidence, but does not replace the wider due-diligence process.

Site-level LCAs built from primary operational data

We model the variables that actually determine your footprint: ore grade, recovery, reagent inputs, energy supply, transport routes and waste management. The result is a cradle-to-gate LCA that captures what's specific to your operation — and updates when those inputs change.

Customer disclosure outputs your buyers can defend

We produce documented ISO 14067 product carbon footprints, EF 3.1-aligned data where appropriate and PACT exchange outputs to support buyer requests. Where data is used to prepare for EU battery carbon disclosure, we distinguish draft methodology from adopted rules and scope the evidence to the customer’s product and applicable timetable.

Comparison and benchmarking against the industry

Once your operation is modelled, the most valuable next step is often a comparison — against the regional average, against alternative process routes, against the LCA your competitor just published. We benchmark transparently, with full methodological documentation, so the comparison holds up to scrutiny.

Stop letting industry averages undervalue your operation

Stop letting industry averages undervalue your operation

If your operation runs cleaner than the regional benchmark — better grade, cleaner grid, more efficient process — the public databases your customers use are costing you. A site-specific LCA isn't just a customer requirement; it's the document that proves your concentrate deserves a premium over the lower-cost, higher-carbon alternative. We've built that argument for producers across more than 40 countries.

Become the supplier your customers actually want to disclose

Become the supplier your customers actually want to disclose

Battery cell manufacturers, OEMs and refiners may use verified supplier footprints to compare sourcing options and prepare product assessments. A credible LCA makes the evidence easier to review and reuse. It does not, by itself, establish compliance with every customer or regulatory requirement.

Turn decarbonisation capex into a defensible business case

Turn decarbonisation capex into a defensible business case

A switch to renewable electricity, a reagent substitution, a process intensification project — each has a carbon impact and a capital cost. We quantify the carbon reduction per pound spent, so your decarbonisation roadmap stops being a sustainability team wishlist and becomes a board-approved investment plan.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Ready to model your operation properly?

Whether your priority is a buyer request, an investor report, supply-chain due-diligence evidence or a decarbonisation plan, the right scope depends on your operational data and the decision due next. A 20-minute call will tell us both.
