Supporting supply chains in adapting to stricter global environmental regulations

Asuene Inc. has launched the English version of its PCF/LCA calculation software, “ASUENE LCA.” In response to tightening environmental regulations, particularly in Europe, this software was developed to support PCF/LCA calculation and disclosure in global markets.  With this English version, PCF calculation becomes more accessible both domestically and internationally, while the collection of activity data and PCF data from overseas suppliers is streamlined. 

Background of the ASUENE LCA English Version Development
In recent years, environmental regulations have been tightening, particularly in Europe. The EU plans to fully implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) from 2026, and from 2024, the EU Battery Regulation mandates PCF calculation and LCA data disclosure for batteries. In this evolving regulatory landscape, companies with overseas operations or global suppliers must urgently adapt to these requirements.

Once CBAM is enforced, Japanese companies exporting regulated products to the EU may be required by importers to calculate and disclose PCF/LCA data. To comply, companies must establish a robust PCF calculation framework. However, PCF/LCA assessment requires collecting activity data across extensive domestic and international supply chains.

In response to these challenges in PCF/LCA calculation, we have developed the English version of “ASUENE LCA.” This enables businesses to overcome language barriers, supporting PCF/LCA calculation and disclosure in global markets while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and enhancing international competitiveness.

Details of the English Version
“ASUENE LCA” is designed for ease of use, allowing even those without extensive expertise to operate it intuitively. The platform enables PCF/LCA calculations in as short as one minute. With the ability to quickly and easily disclose reliable data, it provides strong support for companies in their decarbonization efforts.

Key Features of the English Version
・PCF Calculation: A refined UI/UX ensures a seamless process from data input to report generation.
・Template-Based Calculation: Supports PCF/LCA calculations for a wide range of products.
・Data Integration: Enables seamless PCF data exchange between buyers and suppliers.
