Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data sharing enables transparent and standardized CO₂ reporting across the Catena-X ecosystem, helping companies meet sustainability, compliance, and supply chain requirements through secure exchange via the EDC.

The PCF use case distinguishes between calculating PCF data and exchanging PCF data across company borders. The Data Space Accelerator only requires participants to demonstrate PCF data exchange to receive financial compensation. Participants are welcome to explore PCF calculation further, but it's not required for this program.

Certified PCF App: Follow your application provider's instructions to complete the PCF exchange with Cofinity-X, then continue from Step 2 (Notify Cofinity-X) below.

Step 1: Create your PCF Exchange Endpoint

Create an Asset with <code>semanticId</code> referencing PCF v9.0.0 and <code>dct:type</code> set to <code>cx-taxo:PcfExchange</code>.

Your usage policy must reference <code>FrameworkAgreement: DataExchangeGovernance:1.0</code>, <code>Membership: active</code>, and <code>UsagePurpose: cx.pcf.base:1</code>.

Create a Contract Definition linking your Asset to this policy.

See the <a href="https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/tractusx-edc/blob/main/docs/usage/management-api-walkthrough/01_assets.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Asset Management API walkthrough</a> for syntax.

Send an email to <a href="mailto:support@cofinity-x.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">support@cofinity-x.com</a> with subject line "DSA PCF request", including:

The Product ID for which you want to share PCF data

- Your EDC URL
- Your BPNL
- The Product ID for which you want to share PCF data

Prepare PCF data for the specified Product ID, complying with the <a href="https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/sldt-semantic-models/blob/main/io.catenax.pcf/9.0.0/gen/Pcf-schema.json" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catena-X PCF JSON Schema v9.0.0</a>. Schema-compliant test data is also accepted.

Step 4: Respond to the incoming PCF request

Cofinity-X will send a formal PCF request via contract negotiation. Respond using:

EDC URL: <code>https://pcf-dsa-2025-edc.dataspaceos.svc.cofinity-x.com/api/v1/dsp</code>

BPNL: <code>BPNLCOFINITYEZFA</code>

- EDC URL: <code>https://pcf-dsa-2025-edc.dataspaceos.svc.cofinity-x.com/api/v1/dsp</code>
- BPNL: <code>BPNLCOFINITYEZFA</code>
- Asset ID: PCF

Cofinity-X will consume and check your data for correctness, completing the validation process for Dataspace readiness. Upon successful validation, you'll receive your Data Readiness Certificate in the DSA portal.

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
