Hyundai Motor and Kia have launched the Integrated Greenhouse Gas Information System (IGIS), an advanced platform aimed at managing carbon emissions throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle.

Using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, IGIS quantifies and tracks carbon emissions across a vehicle’s entire lifecycle, providing systematic and accurate data collection.

The system monitors energy consumption at global production facilities and records carbon management activities.

It also collects LCA data from suppliers and components to calculate carbon footprints and predict supply chain emissions.

Furthermore, IGIS employs blockchain technology to ensure data integrity and security, enhancing the transparency and reliability of carbon emissions management.

Hyundai Motor and Kia executive vice president and head of ICT division Eunsook Jin said: “In our mission to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, we are taking a significant leap forward with the development of IGIS.

“Through IGIS, we are intensifying our efforts to build a responsible value chain, demonstrating remarkable innovation in the automotive industry.”

The introduction of IGIS marks an advancement in Hyundai Motor and Kia’s pursuit of carbon neutrality.

It is based on the Supplier CO2 Emission Monitoring System (SCEMS) launched in 2023.

SCEMS is an AI-powered, blockchain-based system designed to track carbon emissions at each stage of a cooperative partner’s supply chain, ensuring transparency and data integrity.

IGIS will help the companies adapt to international environmental regulations and achieve certifications like CDP and RE100, the companies said.

In November last year, Hyundai Motor announced plans to invest up to $480m in Malaysia over five years to boost production and expand its presence in Southeast Asia’s second-largest vehicle market.

Starting in 2025, it will launch local assembly of the Staria minibus at the Kulim facility, in partnership with Inokom, to upgrade the plant and introduce new models.
