Companies that want to decarbonize their value chain usually face two challenges. They need to determine the emissions data for their purchased products and then identify potential for optimization.
With the Nexigen® PCF Algorithm, we took the first step towards helping our customers do just that, because the solution can calculate individualized product carbon footprints for nearly all of Klöckner’s 190,000 products.

Smart, digital management of product emissions with Nexigen® Data Services
This is how the Product Carbon Footprint facilitates decisions by our customer

What our PCF Declaration contains:
The product carbon footprint from raw material extraction to production and transport emissions from our warehouse to the customer's factory gate
Our calculation method is officially certified (ISO 14067, ref. ISO 14040 and 14044)
Detailed product information such as batch, order number, and delivery number

The next milestone – Nexigen® Data Services
With Nexigen® Data Services, our customers can actively manage the CO2 emissions of their Klöckner products so they can reach their reduction targets.
To ensure Nexigen® Data Services are easy and convenient to use, we focused on three core functionalities when we developed the technology solution. Nexigen® Data Services brings the CO2 emissions history of all products procured through Klöckner & Co together in one place to provide a clear and transparent overview. Customers also receive specific suggestions for greener alternatives and directly see ways to potentially reduce CO2 emissions compared to previous orders.
Blockchain technology is revolutionizing CO₂ emissions tracking
The use of open blockchain technology allows for a high degree of data integrity as well as seamless transparency along the entire value chain, while at the same time raising the bar for CO2 emissions tracking in the steel industry and enabling customers to take targeted steps to reduce emissions on the basis of a reliable and precise analysis.

Real solutions, not just visions
How we help you reduce CO₂ emissions

Categorizations for CO₂-reduced products
Our Nexigen® categorizations create complete transparency by classifying the CO₂ footprint of our steel, stainless steel, and aluminum products into five clearly defined categories.
This provides customers with reliable guidance and enables them to make better informed decisions for more sustainable procurement.
