Carbon Footprint Analisys Certification & Life Cycle Assessment

RDT’s Carbon Footprint Program is the quantitative backbone of our ESG and investment strategy. We use Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools to measure emissions rigorously, then turn those numbers into concrete investment solutions across energy, water, Eco-Agro, ESG metals and forest carbon.

Our methodologies are aligned with leading international standards, including ISO 14067, ISO 14040 and 14044, ISO 14064-1, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and TCFD climate-risk guidance. This gives investors, lenders, buyers and regulators a common language and verifiable results.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculates the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a defined unit of product or service over its life cycle, expressed in CO2-equivalent. A PCF study can cover anything from a kilowatt-hour of electricity or a cubic meter of water to a box of bananas, a tonne of shrimp, or a gold ounce.

RDT works with clients to define the system boundary, collect data, run the analysis following ISO 14067 and GHG Protocol, and deliver a verified PCF value that can be used in export negotiations, sustainability reporting and investor communications.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) extends beyond carbon to examine the wider environmental footprint of a product, service or project. Following ISO 14040 and 14044, an LCA can assess impacts on energy use, water, land, air quality and other categories across the full life cycle.

For LCAs that will be used externally, we coordinate an independent critical review. This ensures that assumptions, data quality and methods are robust enough for public disclosure, green financing frameworks or impact reporting.
