Core competency reflected in their company name and consistent role across all three projects (INTEGROIL, HINDCON, HyperCOG) providing environmental LCA services.
2.-0 LCA CONSULTANTS APS
Danish LCA consultancy providing environmental life cycle assessment for industrial, manufacturing, and digital production projects across Europe.
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.
What they specialise in
HINDCON (3D printing construction) and HyperCOG (cognitive production plants) both required LCA of advanced manufacturing processes.
INTEGROIL focused on water reuse solutions in industrial settings, requiring environmental impact assessment of water treatment technologies.
HyperCOG (2019-2023) brought them into the domain of AI-driven production plants, assessing environmental impacts of cyber-physical manufacturing systems.
How they've shifted over time
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.
How they like to work
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.
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.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HyperCOGMost recent and largest-funded project (EUR 209,178), positioning the company at the intersection of LCA and AI-driven smart manufacturing.
- HINDCONLargest single EC contribution (EUR 215,250), applying LCA to an emerging field — large-scale 3D printing for industrial construction.
