Spherity joins Chem-X to drive sustainability and digital transformation in the chemical industry

We are excited to announce our participation in Chem-X, a groundbreaking project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). On January 14-15, 2025, project partners and BMWK representatives came together to celebrate the official kickoff of Chem-X, marking the start of a two-year journey to enhance sustainability and competitiveness in the chemical industry.

What is Chem-X?

Chem-X is a forward-thinking initiative that aims to create an open, collaborative data space for the chemical and material supply chain. This digital infrastructure will enable seamless exchange of sustainability data across the entire value chain, supporting the transition to a circular economy. By leveraging digital product passports (DPPs) and standardized data models, Chem-X will empower stakeholders to track attributes like product carbon footprint (PCF), recycled content, and biogenic material content, ensuring transparency and compliance with European regulations.

Spherity’s role in Chem-X

As a proud beneficiary participant in Chem-X, Spherity will contribute its expertise in Digital Product Passports and Enterprise Wallets to:

- Develop enterprise identity wallets that ensure secure and interoperable digital identities for actors in the chemical industry.

- Design Digital Product Passports to facilitate reliable and automated data exchange within the Chem-X ecosystem.

Our goal is to enable trustworthy, efficient communication across company boundaries, enhancing transparency and competitiveness in the chemical sector.

Why Chem-X matters now

The kickoff of Chem-X comes at a pivotal time for the chemical industry. As the backbone of many value chains, the industry must meet increasing demands for sustainability and transparency. Attributes like "low-PCF," "recycled content," and "biogenic content" must be documented across the supply chain, making digitalization and standardized data exchange essential for:

1. Streamlining supply chain efficiency through standardized chemistry-specific data points and calculation guidelines.

2. Enhancing transparency and sustainability with an open-source data model for seamless communication of key attributes.

3. Improving industry resilience by enabling real-time responses to market changes.

Join the journey toward a sustainable future

The Chem-X project celebrates collaboration and innovation. As we embark on this exciting initiative, Spherity invites stakeholders in the chemical industry and the broader dataspace projects community (e.g., Gaia-X, Energy Data-X, Manufacturing-X) to join us in shaping the future of sustainable industry practices.
