What they do

Their core work

2.-0 LCA Consultants is a Danish SME specializing in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) — the systematic evaluation of environmental impacts across a product's or process's entire lifespan. In H2020 projects, they serve as the environmental assessment partner, providing LCA methodology to industrial research and innovation actions across manufacturing, construction, and water treatment. Their core value is translating complex industrial processes into quantified environmental impact data, helping consortia demonstrate sustainability credentials and optimize resource efficiency.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Environmental Life Cycle Assessmentprimary
3 projects

Core competency reflected in their company name and consistent role across all three projects (INTEGROIL, HINDCON, HyperCOG) providing environmental LCA services.

Industrial sustainability assessmentprimary
2 projects

HINDCON (3D printing construction) and HyperCOG (cognitive production plants) both required LCA of advanced manufacturing processes.

Water and resource efficiency analysissecondary
1 project

INTEGROIL focused on water reuse solutions in industrial settings, requiring environmental impact assessment of water treatment technologies.

Digital manufacturing environmental impactemerging
1 project

HyperCOG (2019-2023) brought them into the domain of AI-driven production plants, assessing environmental impacts of cyber-physical manufacturing systems.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Industrial process LCA
Recent focus
Smart manufacturing sustainability

Their early H2020 work (2016-2019) centered on traditional industrial LCA — assessing environmental impacts of water reuse (INTEGROIL) and advanced construction methods (HINDCON). Their most recent project, HyperCOG (2019-2023), moved them into the digital manufacturing space, where they assessed the environmental footprint of AI-driven, hyperconnected production plants. This signals a shift from conventional industrial LCA toward evaluating the sustainability of Industry 4.0 technologies.

Moving toward environmental assessment of digitalized and AI-driven industrial systems — a niche that will grow as manufacturers face pressure to quantify the sustainability of their digital transformations.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European10 countries collaborated

2.-0 LCA Consultants operates exclusively as a specialist participant, never leading consortia. With 35 unique partners across 10 countries from just 3 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia where they fill a specific methodological role. This makes them a reliable, low-friction partner to bring in when a consortium needs credible environmental assessment expertise without leadership overhead.

Broad European network of 35 partners across 10 countries built through large Innovation Action and Research consortia. Their connections span manufacturing, construction, water treatment, and digital industries — giving them cross-sector reach unusual for a small consultancy.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Their name is their brand: LCA is not a side service but their entire business. Unlike engineering firms that offer LCA as an add-on, 2.-0 LCA Consultants brings dedicated methodological depth in environmental impact quantification. For consortium builders, they are one of the few SMEs that can slot into any industrial project and deliver rigorous, independent environmental assessment without competing for technical leadership.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • HyperCOG
    Most recent and largest-funded project (EUR 209,178), positioning the company at the intersection of LCA and AI-driven smart manufacturing.
  • HINDCON
    Largest single EC contribution (EUR 215,250), applying LCA to an emerging field — large-scale 3D printing for industrial construction.

Analysis note: Profile based on only 3 projects with limited keyword data for early projects. The LCA specialization is highly confident given the company name and consistent role pattern, but the evolution analysis relies heavily on a single recent project (HyperCOG).
