One of the most exciting recent developments is the launch of Hyundai and Kia’s Supplier CO2 Emission Monitoring System (SCEMS), an AI-enabled, blockchain-based platform designed to compute, monitor, and manage carbon emissions throughout their supply chain.

SCEMS reflects a significant leap forward in our industry’s sustainability practices, pioneering a fresh and effective approach to addressing the urgent global issue of climate change. But what does this mean for us, a Hyundai dealership in Twin Falls, Idaho, and our valued customers? Let’s delve deeper into the story.

The heart of the SCEMS is high-performance blockchain technology. This new Ai-infused system computes carbon emissions at every stage of the partner’s supply chain, providing data transparency. Verified for its effectiveness, this technology empowers Hyundai and Kia to promptly and securely collect carbon emissions data. The result? Suppliers are relieved from the time- and cost-intensive task of manual data collection, allowing them to focus on managing their carbon emissions more accurately.

By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology, Hyundai and Kia have provided a tool for business partners to efficiently monitor and manage carbon emissions at their respective workplaces. This is not only a monumental achievement but also a crucial tool to combat climate change by meeting local and global environmental regulations and creating sustainable supply chains.

This development, however, transcends mere compliance with regulations. It’s about leading a transformative journey towards a sustainable future, shaping a greener and brighter tomorrow. As Seung Hyun Hong, Head of Materials Research and Engineering Center at Hyundai Motor and Kia, put it: “Supplier CO2 Emission Monitoring System unlocks a revolutionary approach to managing carbon emissions and combating climate change, ushering in a new era of sustainable supply chain within our cooperative network.”

The SCEMS covers all facets of suppliers’ operations, from raw material procurement and manufacturing processes to product transportation. The integration of AI and blockchain technology enables accurate future carbon emissions predictions, promoting effective climate change mitigation efforts.

The impact of this innovation is not confined to the boundaries of Hyundai and Kia. It paves the way for the entire automotive industry, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. Through this initiative, Hyundai and Kia affirm their dedication to mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability in the automotive industry.
