Congrats, Ligna Energy’s first EPD is live

What Ligna published

Ligna Energy’s debut EPD arrived in September 2025. It covers a single supercapacitor component for electronics, described as an ultrathin 2.7 V unit aimed at rapid charge and discharge use cases. The declaration is verified and published by EPD Hub under the EN 50693 rule set for electronic and electrical products. The EPD title references the S‑Power line, and the scope reads as a single component rather than a broad family.

If you track authorship, LCA and authoring support are credited to Greenstep Oy in Ligna’s public materials. Verification is by EPD Hub’s program operator, consistent with the electronics PCR path.

Why this matters now

Electronics inside buildings are multiplying. Badges, occupancy sensors, asset beacons, and micro‑controllers all show up in specs. When one part in that stack carries a verified EPD, it reduces friction for device brands that want to publish their own declarations or simply keep project carbon accounting clean. It also signals supply chain readiness on traceability and data quality, which procurement teams increasingly request.

Quick company background

Ligna Energy develops bio based, non toxic, ultra thin supercapacitors built in Sweden for low power electronics. The S‑Power series targets energy‑harvesting and battery support in IoT hardware, smart cards, wearables, and building‑scale sensor networks. That puts Ligna squarely in the component layer that influences whether a device maker can document impact with confidence.

Competitive snapshot

Closest peers for supercapacitors in electronics include Skeleton Technologies, TDK, and Murata. As of today, we did not find published supercapacitor component EPDs for those brands in common public listings used by spec teams. Large electronics players do publish EPDs for lighting drivers and fixtures, yet supercapacitor declarations remain rare. Net effect, Ligna enters the transparency arena with an early mover edge in this component niche.

Program operator choice, at a glance

The declaration sits with EPD Hub, a program operator recognized across European markets and aligned with EN 15804 and ISO 14025. For electronics, EN 50693 is the fit rulebook, and it is what Ligna used. If your hardware portfolio spans both electronic modules and enclosure materials, a mixed‑operator strategy is common, but keeping components under one operator simplifies renewals and version control.

Where to find it on the web

Ligna has already highlighted the verification on its site, including a summary of the EPD and verification path. See the announcement on their news page here: Ligna verifies CO₂ footprint of its sustainable supercapacitors. If the full PDF is not yet linked from every relevant product page, adding a clear EPD button on the S‑Power pages will improve discoverability for engineers and specifiers who scan fast. Visibility is key.

What this signals for bids and specs

For device makers, a component‑level EPD can shorten cycles when end customers ask for cradle‑to‑gate documentation. It helps avoid conservative generic factors that can penalize products without a verified declaration. It also gives marketing teams honest proof points. If more S‑Power variants get covered next, that portfolio will definately make life easier for OEMs standardizing on one supplier.

The takeaway

This first EPD plants a flag. Ligna Energy has entered the transparency arena with a verified declaration for a workhorse supercapacitor. It is a smart opening move that helps device brands document impact, keeps options open across regions, and raises the bar for rivals that have not yet published. Next steps worth watching are portfolio coverage and linking the EPD directly on every S‑Power product page so spec teams can find it in two clicks.
