Solid Forest

What Solid Forest does

Solid Forest S.L. is a privately held Spanish environmental technology company founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid. The company operates a hybrid model combining proprietary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and corporate carbon footprint software with expert environmental consulting services. Its two core products are Air.e LCA, a visual, real-time LCA modeling platform supporting methodologies including EF 3.1, ReCiPe, CML, IPCC, and EN 15804, with native integration of the Ecoinvent 3.12 database; and CCMetrics, a modular corporate carbon management tool covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3 with multi-company consolidation capabilities for corporate groups.

The company's revenue is generated through three streams: SaaS subscriptions for Air.e LCA and CCMetrics priced publicly in euros (Air.e LCA at €3,800/year, CCMetrics ranging from €1,600 to €3,200/year depending on tier), custom software development for organizations with specialized needs, and professional consulting services for LCA studies, Environmental Product Declarations, carbon footprint registration, and decarbonization strategy. Solid Forest targets a mix of segments including environmental consultancies and LCA analysts, manufacturing and industrial companies subject to regulations such as CSRD, CBAM, and Spanish Law 11/2018, large corporate groups requiring consolidated multi-entity reporting, SMEs needing accessible carbon footprint tools, and academia.

Notable enterprise engagements include custom software projects for Holcim España (concrete carbon footprint calculator), Trouw Nutrition (MyFeedPrint and MyMilkPrint platforms serving nearly 400 European users), and Ferroglobe (LCA validation for industrial decarbonization at the Sabón silicon plant under the PERTE PERTEDI program). The company employs between 1 and 10 people, operates without external venture capital or private equity funding, and is recognized as an Innovative SME by the Spanish Ministry of Economy. Its technology stack incorporates a recently launched AI Assistant for emission factor discovery and a stated roadmap toward AI-driven process automation in LCA modeling.

Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Trouw NutritioncoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 30 March 2026Solid Forest developed MyFeedPrint, an LCA and environmental impacts tool for Trouw Nutrition (global leader in animal feed) to accurately quantify the carbon footprint and environmental footprint of feed and farm products. MyFeedPrint is a multi-user web application available across Europe with nearly 400 users. MyMilkPrint was subsequently developed as a complementary tool for dairy farm environmental footprint per unit of milk produced.
• CCPA GroupcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 5 March 2026Solid Forest collaborated with CCPA Group (France) and Cavala to calculate and monitor the organizational carbon footprint of CCPA's three companies in Spain (NUTEGA, NOVATION) and Portugal (DIN). Work included detailed emission source identification and development of evidence-based reduction plans. Results were structured in Bilan Carbone format and consolidated at group level.
• ACODEA FoundationcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 3 March 2026Solid Forest developed a free circularity index calculator for the ACODEA Foundation, based on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Circularity Indicator methodology. The web-based tool allows organizations to calculate product and organizational circularity, with guided data entry and automatic index calculation. Additionally, Solid Forest conducted an LCA study of pig manure management systems for ACODEA.
• FerroglobecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 February 2026Solid Forest collaborates with Ferroglobe, world leader in silicon production, on an ambitious decarbonization project at the Sabón plant under the PERTE PERTEDI industrial decarbonization framework (Next Generation EU funded). Solid Forest provides scientific rigor for LCA validation of a new production model that replaces fossil coal with biochar. The project aims to measure current environmental footprint, analyze biochar impact, and validate 'Sustainable Production Silicon' emission reductions.
• LakTis Network (AGACA, Central Lechera Asturiana, CapsaFood, Clun)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 16 October 2025Solid Forest serves as technical partner in the LakTis strategic network, providing calculation software and specialized support so that AGACA technicians can accurately measure carbon footprint on dairy farms across northern Spain. Solid Forest's role includes connecting LCA technical analysis to farm-level reality, standardizing measurement under scientific criteria, optimizing methodologies, and contributing knowledge on carbon farming and circular bioeconomy models.
• Holcim EspañacoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024Solid Forest developed a custom web-based carbon footprint calculator for Holcim Spain's concrete sector. The tool enables companies in the concrete sector to calculate the carbon footprint of concrete produced from Holcim cements using LCA methodology and certified plant emission data. The project required integration of real industrial data with robust calculation models for consistency, traceability, and reliability.
• MOSOEX Project ConsortiumminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2023Solid Forest served as the environmental assessment partner in the MOSOEX Project, which demonstrated that improved agronomic management (increased soil organic matter, crop rotation, reduced tillage) improves long-term productivity and reduces environmental impacts of extensive agriculture in Spain. Solid Forest developed LCA for major crops across dozens of farms, assessing up to 14 environmental impact categories.
• IMIDRA (Community of Madrid)minorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2019Solid Forest participated in the SOLES Project coordinated by IMIDRA (Community of Madrid agricultural research institute) from 2019-2022. The project assessed viability of replacing conventional phytosanitary treatments with soil dust application in vineyards. Solid Forest provided independent environmental LCA analysis and satellite-based foliar monitoring using SENTINEL-2 imagery across three agricultural campaigns.
