Better decisions.

Documented impact.

We build decision models that make it possible to compare choices, document impact and improve over time.

ABOUT TERRAVERA

We make choices measurable.

Many decisions about climate and resources are still made without the ability to document their impact. Terravera Foundation is an independent, non-profit foundation that builds research-based decision models – together with a growing network of researchers, students and businesses.

OUR MISSION

We combine research with your operational data in decision models that show the impact of different choices – a better basis for your decisions.

Our process

WHAT WE DO

Digital modelling

We build digital models of value chains, products and systems.

Research factors

Climate, nature, energy and resource use, each with a named source.

Scenario analysis

We compare alternatives with the baseline, on the same terms.

Decision support

We turn complex data into a decision basis you can use.

Documented impact

Figures you can share, with the sources and assumptions behind them.


The impact of a decision is a difference: between what happens and what would otherwise have happened. We combine your operational data with research factors to document it.

How we document impact

From your operations

Your operational data

Volumes, consumption, routes and operating conditions – the data only you have.

×

From research

Research factors

Factors from published research and life-cycle assessments, each with a named source.

The result

Documented impact

A result you can have checked, challenged and re-run.

Our methodology

Event
Terravera on stage at Trondheim Tech Festival 2026

Terravera made the case for data modelling over assumptions, using a live Fremtind example to show decision support in practice.

Case
Is recycling always the best choice for e-waste?

RENAS and Terravera are modelling where repair, reuse and recycling of electronics cut the most environmental impact.

Thought leadership
Where data modelling fits in the push for a circular economy in Norway

Norway circulates just 3.3% of its materials. Terravera argues circularity decisions need documented data, not assumptions.
