Important results from the project
FEMTRAC developed and tested a model for real-time LCA and LCC, linked to blockchain-based sustainability verification. Using real factory data, the project showed that environmental performance can be monitored continuously and presented transparently. The model was tested in an actual production setting and visualized for potential end users. Synergies were also formed with ongoing related initiatives.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to strengthen industry capacity for data-driven decisions on energy and resource efficiency. Real-time analysis can be integrated into decision support systems and support compliance with CSRD and EU Green Deal policies. The method is applicable in other sectors and offers potential to reduce climate impact and improve transparency in sustainability reporting and traceability.
Approach and implementation
The project followed the planned structure with data collection from food production, development of real-time LCA/LCC models, and analysis of blockchain data architecture. Collaboration functioned well, with active participation from industry and research partners. Results were refined through workshops. A shift from raw sensor data to aggregated indicators enabled a more user-friendly approach.
