We are thrilled to announce the latest update to the Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT), an innovative solution developed within the INNOBIOVC project. Designed to help companies achieve greater sustainability in bio-based processes or products, the SAT now includes assessments for three new products: biochar, bioethanol, and acetic acid.
Why Choose SAT?
- Comprehensive Sustainability Evaluation: The SAT offers a thorough assessment, covering all three dimensions of sustainability—environmental, social, and economic. This ensures a holistic understanding of your product or process’s impact.
- Benchmarking for Improvement: By comparing your innovative product or process with established benchmarks, the SAT helps identify key areas for improvement. This feature enables you to adopt industry best practices and address hotspots in your value chain.
- Strategic Decision-Making: Utilizing Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Analysis (MCDMA), the SAT provides structured and informed decision-making support. With visual representations and an overall performance score, you can strategically enhance your sustainability efforts.
Wide Product Range
The SAT is currently tailored for value chains targeting bio-based products such as:
– Lactic acid
– Succinic acid
– Glycerol
– Polymers (mainly PLA)
– Amino acids (mainly lysine and glutamate)
With our latest update, the SAT now includes assessments for:
– Biochar
– Bioethanol

Comprehensive Support Resources
To support your use of the SAT, we offer a comprehensive set of resources, including an Excel file for calculations, a detailed PDF guide, and a reference file for benchmark products. Our team at LGCA is available for any support you may need.
