Hyundai, Kia announce system that tracks carbon emissions throughout vehicle lifecycle

Hyundai Motor and Kia have developed a new system, Integrated Greenhouse Gas Information System (IGIS), to monitor and manage carbon emissions throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. This system leverages Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to accurately track emissions from production, operation, and disposal. By integrating with existing systems like SCEMS, IGIS allows for comprehensive data collection from suppliers, production facilities, and even during vehicle operation. This data enables the companies to calculate their carbon footprint, predict emissions, and comply with evolving environmental regulations and certifications.

Furthermore, IGIS utilizes blockchain technology to ensure data integrity and security. By implementing this system, Hyundai Motor and Kia demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and innovation within the automotive industry. The companies aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, and IGIS represents a crucial step towards this goal. This initiative not only enhances their environmental responsibility but also positions them as leaders in sustainable automotive practices.
