As a central component of the extensive green metals portfolio, Viridis Carbon offers a pioneering real-time platform for precise tracking, analysis, and documentation of the corporate carbon footprint (CCF) and product carbon footprint (PCF).
The TÜV-certified platform relies on verifiable calculations based on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067 and creates transparency on emissions at all levels – from the factory as a whole through individual production lines right down to units and devices, including auxiliary equipment such as motors and pumps. This enables companies to minimize the risks associated with reworks, disputes, and regulatory challenges in connection with the quality and traceability of emissions data.
Sustainability made visible – Real-time CO2 management
The metals industry is under growing pressure to meet sustainability and regulatory requirements. Viridis Carbon provides a data-driven solution that not only facilitates compliance with the relevant regulations but also supports and accelerates decarbonization strategies. By integrating operating data and standardized emissions factors in real time, Viridis Carbon facilitates the immediate identification of emission-related priority areas of action and the correlation with production data. In this way, product-specific CO2 balances can be calculated for monitoring scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Certified sustainability – A competitive advantage
The TÜV Rheinland certification of Viridis Carbon is a testament to the platform’s high quality and transparency. This certification gives manufacturers a crucial competitive edge by enabling them to meet stringent regulatory requirements such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). In addition, Viridis Carbon makes companies attractive to sustainability-focused investors and allows them to differentiate products for environmentally conscious customers while providing access to green financing opportunities.
“With Viridis Carbon, we are making sustainability measurable and transparent,” explains Thiago Maia, Executive Vice President Automation, Digital, and Service Solutions at SMS group. “Our solution empowers companies to meet legal requirements and actively contribute to reducing their carbon footprint.”
