BASF has developed an application solution for the exchange of product carbon footprint (PCF) for its products, now available in the Catena-X Automotive Ecosystem in the Cofinity-X App Store. BASF customers can now register for the application, called PACIFIC, a joint development of BASF and CircularTree.
After three years of intensive collaboration within the Catena-X consortium in the field of sustainability, important milestones have been reached with the development of various standards. These include, among others, a PCF rulebook, a PCF kit and a PCF data model, to name just a few examples. The standards aim to facilitate the exchange of PCF data within the Catena-X data ecosystem and thus make a targeted contribution to sustainability.
The PCF Rulebook provides guidelines and best practices for calculating, reporting and sharing PCF data in the automotive industry. The PCF Kit is a tool kit that provides practical tools and resources for the implementation of PCF standards. The PCF Data Model establishes a standardized structure and format for the presentation of PCF data and ensures compatibility and interoperability between different systems and stakeholders.
