ARtificial IntelliGence toOl for enviroNmental impact Assessment of bio-based prodUcTs

The main objective of ARGONAUT is to develop an effective and easily accessible AI digital tool that accurately calculates the environmental and climate impact from bio-based products across the entire value chain (from cradle to grave) using language models from global literature based on LCA principles and allows for easy and secure tracking through a digital passport based on blockchain technology.

This tool will also include a decision support tool that uses this data to map out different alternatives for the value chain and their environmental impact thereby facilitating better and more sustainable decision making.

ARGONAUT will contribute to the integration of key emerging digital technologies (AI and blockchain) and an environmental assessment methodology (LCA) to create a reliable tool able to assist small and medium-sized producers to navigate the complex bio-product landscape with enough relevant information, security guarantees regarding the privacy of their data and in a user-friendly way capable of closing knowledge gaps and thereby of reaching to a wider range of producers.

ARGONAUT will contribute to the implementation of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and allow for an accurate depiction of the environmental impact of such bio-based products thereby supporting the development of more sustainable value chains and the transition to a circular bioeconomy across the EU.
