Environmentally Friendly Products

Yokogawa has developed products, by setting design and assessment standards concerning aspects such as long-term usability, energy conservation, etc. of the product, in order to promote production of environmentally friendly products.

• Guidelines for Environmentally Friendly Design

Yokogawa sets design and assessment standards with regards to aspects such as long-term usability and energy conservation, etc. to promote environmentally friendly product making.

In developing a product, the following are evaluated by using lifecycle assessment (LCA) standards: energy use, carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission, and sulfur oxide (SOx) emission.

The results, based on the LCA standards for "GS200," a DC voltage/current source released in 2009, achieves a 47.8% reduction in the CO2, a 48.7% reduction in NOx, and a 46.3% reduction in SOx, compared to previous model.
