Enables collection of primary data from suppliers, supporting visualization and reduction of CO2 emissions and enhancing collaboration. Asuene Inc. , a cloud service for CO2 emissions visualization, reduction, and reporting operated by Asuene Inc., will implement “Asuene Manufacturing,” a solution that easily supports the calculation of CO2 emissions in the manufacturing industry. It provides functions to solve the unique issues of the manufacturing industry and supports the visualization, reduction, and reporting of CO2 emissions throughout the supply chain.
Issues in Visualizing and Calculating CO2 Emissions in the Manufacturing Industry
Decarbonization of the manufacturing industry is a key issue in achieving the Japanese government’s 2050 carbon neutrality goal. The industrial sector is the largest source of CO2 emissions in Japan, accounting for about 35% of total domestic emissions. In addition, about 94% of total emissions from the industrial sector come from manufacturing, so the manufacturing industry is required to reduce these emissions. In the manufacturing industry, it is said that the majority of CO2 emissions (Scope 3, Category 1) are said to come from the process of manufacturing raw materials, parts, containers, and packaging purchased from the supply chain.In addition, Scope 3 and Category 1 visualization requires the collection of primary data from suppliers. In order to collect such data from the global supply chain, it is said to be difficult to use spreadsheet software for genus-based management methods. To solve these issues in the manufacturing industry, we have launched the industry-specific “Asuene Manufacturing”. Through its industry-specific service “Asuene Manufacturing,” Asuene Inc. will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by helping the manufacturing industry visualize and reduce CO2 emissions.
Main Functions of “Asuene Manufacturing”
- Automatically calculates CO2 emissions from manufacturing sites
- Visualization of CO2 emissions by manufacturing process using the supply chain survey function
- Consulting for reduction and disclosure
- Improvement of efficiency of primary data collection by linking with various systems
- Improvement of calculation precision by linking Bill Of Materials(BOM) of Carbon Foot Print(CFP) function and expansion of various emission factor data such as Catena-X
- Support for reporting operations in accordance with international standards such as the European Battery Regulation
