Air.e LCA is Solid Forest’s life cycle assessment software for consultants, manufacturers, laboratories, and public organizations seeking product and organizational impact results. Built around process-based LCA modeling, it lets teams map materials, transport, and end-of-life flows, and recompute impacts as assumptions change. Air.e LCA is positioned for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), eco-design comparisons, and footprint studies where reviewers expect traceable datasets and standard-aligned reporting. It includes databases such as ecoinvent and supports factor customization for Spain and Latin America. Solid Forest also pairs the software with training and consulting for teams that need methodological support.

Core Features

Air.e LCA is built for process-based, standards-driven LCA work: users structure studies around life-cycle system modeling and then apply the required impact methodologies and reporting rules for the intended declaration or footprint context. Some of its main features are:

  • Visual life-cycle modeling — Build process maps and nested life cycles, including co-products and attached documentation.

  • Instant recalculation engine — Impacts update immediately when data or methodology changes.

  • Multi-Standard Compliance — Includes pre-loaded methodologies such as ILCD, CML 2001, ReCiPe, and the specific rules for ISO 14067 and PAS 2050

  • Integrated Databases — Ships with the full Ecoinvent 3 and ELCD databases, allowing users to disaggregate datasets down to elementary flows for maximum transparency.

  • Automated reporting and exports — Generates verification-ready reports complete with graphics and comparative tables to support EPDs.

  • Corporate data connections — A corporate module is provided for integrating with ERP/Back Office sources for more complete analyses.

Closing Insights

Air.e LCA comes from Solid Forest, a Spanish firm founded in 2009 that combines environmental consulting with software development. The platform is packaged with practitioner support—training, remote help, and consulting for LCA and EPD work. The company also reports recognition by Spain’s Ministry of Economy as an “Innovative SME.” Major use cases include Ferroglobe using Air.e LCA in a decarbonization-focused life cycle study of silicon production.

Regulatory fit is strongest where ISO 14040/14044 studies, UNE-EN 15804 construction EPDs, and EU Environmental Footprint/PEF-style reporting are needed, and where Spain/Latin America emission-factor adaptations are useful. In February 2026, Air.e LCA v3.21 added ecoinvent 3.12, faster dataset search, and one-click “Detail in CSV” exports for inventory reports and external verification, with data shaped for Excel, Power BI, or Looker Studio. Pricing is published at €3,800/year (single-user) or €5,800 (multi-user permanent).
