Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation have unveiled the Integrated Greenhouse Gas Information System (IGIS), a groundbreaking platform designed to efficiently monitor, quantify, and manage carbon emissions across their entire global operations.

What is IGIS and How Does it Work?

Hyundai Motor and Kia's Integrated Greenhouse Gas Information System (IGIS) provides an innovative solution for tracking and managing carbon emissions throughout the vehicle lifecycle. By utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, IGIS enables precise and systematic quantification of carbon emissions from every stage of a vehicle's production and operation.

This cutting-edge platform not only tracks emissions within the production facilities but also gathers data from suppliers, components, and logistics. This holistic approach ensures a comprehensive overview of the carbon footprint, which helps in predicting and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain.

Blockchain Technology for Secure and Transparent Data

One of the standout features of IGIS is its integration of blockchain technology, ensuring data integrity and transparency. By leveraging this advanced technology, Hyundai and Kia guarantee that the data is tamper-proof and can be securely shared across multiple stakeholders.

This feature enhances the credibility of the carbon emissions data collected and fosters trust in the companies' commitment to environmental sustainability. Blockchain also allows for seamless collaboration and sharing of emissions data with suppliers, regulators, and other partners, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Hyundai and Kia's Commitment to Carbon Neutrality

In line with their goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, Hyundai Motor and Kia are taking a giant step forward with the introduction of IGIS. “This platform represents a significant milestone in our journey toward carbon neutrality,” said Eunsook Jin, Executive Vice President and Head of ICT Division at Hyundai Motor and Kia. “IGIS will further enhance our efforts to build a responsible, sustainable value chain while setting new standards of innovation in the automotive industry.”

Building a Sustainable Value Chain

The IGIS system is designed to streamline carbon emissions data management, enhancing operational efficiency across Hyundai and Kia's global operations. Following the introduction of the Supplier CO2 Emission Monitoring System (SCEMS) in 2023, IGIS now offers an integrated approach that aligns with the companies' sustainability strategies.

By leveraging IGIS, Hyundai and Kia are better positioned to respond to evolving international environmental regulations and fulfill certifications such as CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) and RE100 (Renewable Energy 100). The system empowers the companies to proactively address carbon-related challenges and remain compliant with global sustainability initiatives.

The Future of Sustainable Mobility

Through the development of IGIS, Hyundai and Kia are not only enhancing their own carbon management efforts but are also setting a precedent for the broader automotive industry. By adopting a comprehensive, data-driven approach to carbon emissions management, the companies are paving the way for a more sustainable future in mobility.

With a commitment to continuous innovation and environmental responsibility, Hyundai and Kia are shaping the future of sustainable transportation while leading the charge in reducing global carbon emissions.
