Underutilization of Biogas from Waste Streams
Operators of landfills, farms, and wastewater treatment plants produce biogas as a waste product, which is often flared or underutilized. They lack cost-effective, modular solutions to convert this low-value gas into higher-value chemicals on-site, missing out on revenue opportunities and environmental benefits.

[Feature]: Whole-Life Embodied Carbon Engine for Home Renovation (EN 15978 A1-A5 / B4 / C)
# ✨ Feature Request ## 📝 Description `carbon_payback.py` and the home energy features tell a user how much operational carbon a retrofit saves. None of them count what the retrofit **costs to build**. Insulation, triple glazing, a heat pump, a new floor slab — all of it carries upfront manufacturing and installation……

[Feature]: Reactive Nitrogen & Phosphorus Footprint with Eutrophication Accounting
# ✨ Feature Request ## 📝 Description EcoBuddy AI measures everything a household does in kg CO2e. Climate is only one of the boundaries a diet or a garden pushes on, and for food it is frequently not the binding one. The nutrient cycles — reactive nitrogen and phosphorus — are the boundary that agriculture……

SUSCONXIII_Industrial Climate Impact Analytics: GHG Dynamics, Air Pollutant Risks, and Carbon Intensity Profiling.
1.0 INTRODUCTION:This study evaluates Corporate Climate Impact Factors (CIFcorp) across 13 industrial sectors using empirical ESG metrics from corporate sustainability disclosures (2020–2024). Missing values in the 37×41 multidimensional dataset were addressed via Markov Chain Imputation. Results reveal skewed……

Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls
Hi HN! I’m Cole Ashman, founder of Pila Energy. I’ve spent my career working on home energy systems—first as an engineer on Tesla’s Powerwall, where I focused on the Backup Gateway, Solar Inverter, and metering systems. More recently, I led Product at SPAN, where we built the Smart Electrical Panel and integrated with……

FEAT(kg_co2): Use `Decimal` instead of `float` for emission values in DB (#410)
**Description:** Currently, emission values (`kg_co2eq`) are handled as `float` before being persisted. This can introduce precision errors, which is problematic for carbon accounting and reporting. We should standardize on `Decimal` for all emission-related values at the persistence boundary, with explicit rounding……

[Feature]: Time-explicit (dynamic) LCA — cumulative radiative forcing instead of a fixed GWP horizon
# ✨ Feature Request ## 📝 Description Two modules in this repo already know *when* emissions happen, and then throw that away. `src/environment/landfill_methane.py` implements the IPCC first order decay model. Its whole purpose is to say that the methane from food waste buried this year comes out over the following……
