What’s included in the Mobius 14-day free trial?

The free trial allows you to find out how Mobius works. Scenarios can be built, impact datasets can be found in the LCI databases (e.g. Ecoinvent 3.8), questions can be asked to experts, and you can learn how to model and adjust a full life cycle for you product. The trials functions as a free training to learn more about LCA and environmental impact measurements. Start creating LCAs in an easy way.

The features are the same as for the paid Mobius version(s). The only difference is the #datasets you can take from our impact (LCI) database Ecoinvent. This holds a maximum of 25 datasets in the free trial.
What kind of support can I get during the trial?

Each trial includes 2×30 minute calls with one of our experts. Additionally, we have recorded several tutorial videos that give our users more information about how the tool works- and what exactly you can do with it. You can find them in our Help Center.
How can Mobius be purchased after the free trial?

Both monthly and yearly subscriptions can be purchased via credit card or SEPA Direct Debit.

This can be done online in Mobius or by contacting mobius@ecochain.com

Yearly subscriptions can also be paid via bank transfer by contacting mobius@ecochain.com
Does Mobius include all LCA life cycle stages?

Yes! Ecochain Mobius has the ability to include and measure impact in all life cycle phases (or stages). From production, use to end-of life. Mobius provides templates to model your specific product’s life cycle. They range from 2 up to 7 phases and even all the EN15804+A2:2019 modules and stages are available.
Which life cycle inventory (LCI) databases are included with Mobius
Mobius supports many LCI databases. The use of the following LCI databases is included with Mobius:
- EcoInvent: world’s most consistent and transparent life cycle inventory database
- NMD: environmental data that is used to calculate the environmental performance of construction works
- EF: data designed to support EF-compliant calculations according to the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs)
You can read more about Lice Cycle Inventory databases in our Help Center.
Which impact categories are available in Mobius?

All the impact categories relevant for your LCA. Some examples are:

Abiotic depletion, Abiotic depletion (fossil fuels), Acidification, Eutrophication, Freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity, Global warming, Marine aquatic ecotoxicity, Ozone layer depletion (ODP), Photochemical oxidation, Terrestrial ecotoxicity, Climate change, Climate change – Biogenic, Climate change – Fossil, Climate change, Land use and LU change, Ecotoxicity, freshwater, Ecotoxicity, freshwater – inorganics, Ecotoxicity, freshwater – metals, Ecotoxicity, freshwater – organics, Eutrophication, freshwater, Eutrophication, marine, Eutrophication, terrestrial, Eutrophication, cancer, Human toxicity, cancer – inorganics, Human toxicity, cancer metals, Human toxicity, non-cancer, Land use, Water use, Ozone depletion.

The impact categories can be changed by adjusting the LCIA method in your workspace settings. Find out more about selecting the right LCIA methods for your specific LCA need.
