This is a Request for Proposals from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) Climate Action Office for an update and expansion of Vermont's life cycle greenhouse gas emissions analysis. The contractor will update existing life cycle emissions factors, add pathways for Renewable Diesel and expanded biofuel categories, reevaluate wood and wood pellet emissions using Northeast-specific data in collaboration with the Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation, and calculate life cycle mass of emissions (CO2e) for each energy source. Proposals are due September 21, 2026, and all work must be completed by May 31, 2027. The contractor must develop, present, and refine the analytical methodology based on State feedback and produce a detailed methodology report documenting assumptions, data sources, calculations, and results. The final deliverable will be a publication-ready life cycle GHG analysis to supplement Vermont's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Forecast and support future updates to the Vermont Climate Action Plan. No pre-bid meeting or site visit date has been specified.
