Project description
Sustainable decision-making for bio-based products
Despite novel innovations and solutions, transitioning to cleaner practices and methodologies has been challenging for many due to the inherent uncertainties associated with adopting and integrating new approaches. This situation has created a demand for innovative solutions that provide accurate decision support and assessments. With this in mind, the EU-funded ARGONAUT project will develop an efficient and user-friendly AI digital tool to calculate the climate and environmental impacts of bio-based products throughout their value chain. Additionally, the project will deliver a decision-support tool to recommend alternative, more sustainable actions and decisions. Through these efforts, it will support small and medium-sized producers while significantly assisting in the implementation of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation.
Objective
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.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
