IC+ Database: Launch Webinar and Q&A

The IC+ Database marks a new chapter in Circular Ecology’s work on embodied carbon data. Developed for professional and commercial use, the first release provides 500+ material carbon factors, alongside supporting information designed to help users select and apply the data appropriately.

In this webinar, Jon Burrow, Edwin Lowe, and Liam Seprini introduced IC+ and explained how it differs from the ICE Database. The team explored what’s included in the new database, the reasons behind the move to a commercial licensing model, and the intended direction of future development.

The session also provided guidance on IC+ licensing, including who counts as an End User, the distinction between internal use and an externally accessed tool, how protected project outputs can be shared, and how pricing changes across different use cases.

The webinar concluded with a Q&A covering questions arising during conversations with new IC+ users as well as those raised by attendees about the database, licensing arrangements, definitions, and the transition from professional use of ICE to IC+.
