Development Background
Efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 are accelerating worldwide, and Europe is leading the way in carbon neutral-related activities by implementing PCF solutions that use measurement data and other primary information to evaluate the impact of climate change over the entire product life cycle. With the passing of regulations such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) tariff and the introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) tool, the need to support these policies is particularly urgent. To give process manufacturers the ability to calculate CO2 emissions for individual products, Yokogawa Digital, a Yokogawa subsidiary, has leveraged the company’s wealth of information and operational technology (IT and OT) to develop OpreX Carbon Footprint Tracer. By linking with the SAP Sustainability Footprint Management service, this solution enables the visualization and management of PCF based on carbon-neutral standards.
