InnoData Silicium Project
The project InnoData Silicium aims to develop an open, consistent, updatable and interoperable life cycle knowledge base on key digital components.
The project InnoData Silicium, winner of the ECONUM 2025 call for projects led by ADEME and funded by France 2030, was officially launched in September 2025. Led by Resilio (B Corp), in partnership with Hubblo, EVEA Scop SA, Terra Nova Développement (TND) and WeLOOP, the project aims to develop an open, consistent and interoperable life cycle knowledge base on key digital components (chips, circuit boards, hard drives, screens, etc.).
Fed by scientific literature and laboratory analyses, this knowledge base will complement existing repositories such as the ADEME Carbon Footprint Database and provide a common foundation for digital stakeholders across Europe. The partners will work on establishing the documentation repository, developing models, integrating results, and building a community of stakeholders around this work.

Our contribution
We are participating in the project by preparing and organising the analysis of electronic components, such as processors, memory modules, hard drives, and screens. We select representative samples, mainly sourced from end-of-life equipment, in collaboration with Resilio and TND. We establish clear testing protocols to ensure that the analyses carried out by TND are standardised and traceable, maintaining precise records of the origin and characteristics of each component.
The analyses consist of verifying the actual composition of the components by measuring the various materials and elements they contain. This information then allows us to correct and improve the models used in the project, ensuring that predictions about component composition accurately reflect the reality measured in the laboratory.
