Decarbonization

Process industry companies must urgently combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union has stepped up by implementing CO2 regulations that require industries to curb their carbon footprint.

With increasing global emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Yokogawa leverages its expertise in automation, data analytics, and energy optimization to support industries in their decarbonization initiatives.

In the context of decarbonization, Yokogawa partners with various industries to implement energy-efficient practices and technologies. By optimizing energy use and enhancing operational efficiency, Yokogawa assists organizations in reducing their carbon footprint. These efforts align with global goals for sustainability and net-zero targets, where accurate GHG accounting and reporting are crucial.

Looking toward the future, Yokogawa continues to innovate, aiming to provide more advanced solutions for energy optimization and carbon management. Our commitment to supporting industries in the transition to a low-carbon economy not only helps reduce GHG emissions but also sets a benchmark for industrial sustainability practices. By collaborating with industry partners, Yokogawa ensures that its solutions are practical and effective in real-world applications, making a significant impact on the global decarbonization effort.

Decarbonization in reality?

One of Yokogawa's notable contributions to the decarbonization effort is their Visual Mesa Energy Management System. This advanced platform facilitates real-time monitoring and optimization of energy consumption, enabling industries to minimize waste and enhance energy efficiency. The system's success in providing accurate carbon accounting and emissions monitoring has been validated by TÜV Rheinland, a leading provider of testing and certification services. TÜV Rheinland certified Visual Mesa's calculation methods as compliant with ISO 14064 and ISO 14068 standards, as well as the GHG Protocol, which are critical frameworks for GHG accounting and verification. This certification underscores Visual Mesa's reliability in supporting industries to accurately quantify and report their carbon footprint.

The Road to Net-Zero

Yokogawa's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions reflects a broader vision of a sustainable and resilient future. The company's journey towards net-zero involves a multi-faceted approach, including reducing their own operational carbon footprint, innovating technologies that enable clients to cut emissions, and participating in global sustainability initiatives.

Internally, Yokogawa has implemented a series of measures to reduce emissions from their operations. This includes optimizing energy use in their facilities, investing in renewable energy sources, and improving energy efficiency across their manufacturing processes. By setting ambitious targets for reducing their own GHG emissions, Yokogawa demonstrates a commitment to leading by example in the corporate world.

Externally, Yokogawa's innovations in automation and control systems empower industries to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption and emissions. For instance, their advanced measurement and control technologies enable precise monitoring of industrial processes, helping clients identify inefficiencies and optimize resource use. This not only contributes to reducing operational costs but also significantly lowers the carbon footprint of industrial operations.

Moreover, Yokogawa actively participates in global initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development and climate action. They align their strategies with international frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 13, which focuses on combating climate change. Through partnerships and collaborations with other organizations, Yokogawa contributes to a collective effort towards achieving global net-zero emissions.
