Tokyo-based classification society, ClassNK has conducted third-party certification for the CO2 emissions reductions of ‘JGreeX’, green-steel products provided by JFE Steel Corporation.
‘JGreeX’, green-steel products
For each JGreeX product, JFE Steel uses the mass balance approach to determine the level of CO2 emissions reductions. Under this approach, the environmental values of CO2 emissions reductions across entire manufacturing processes are aggregated to any products considered to have low CO2 emissions intensity.
This is expected to contribute to the decarbonisation of society by accelerating CO2 emissions reduction across its entire supply chain.
ClassNK conducts conformity assessment of calculation report
ClassNK conducted a conformity assessment of the calculation report, prepared by JFE Steel Corporation
ClassNK conducted a conformity assessment of the calculation report, prepared by JFE Steel Corporation, related to CO2 emissions reductions associated with JGreeX products. This assessment was done in accordance with ISO 14064 and relevant standards.
Upon confirming the calculation report’s compliance, ClassNK issued a conformity assessment statement to this effect.
ClassNK will continue its involvement in third-party certification related to the proper management of JGreeX as green-steel products.
Third-party certification for CO2 emissions reductions
In anticipation of the growth in manufacturing and utilisation of green-steel products, ClassNK will strengthen relevant certification services, in addition to the third-party certification for CO2 emissions reductions conducted this time, and strive to contribute to proactive efforts toward decarbonisation.
