ASUENE Acquires 100% Shares of US-based NZero
ASUENE has acquired 100% of the shares of NZero, a US-based climate tech company providing real-time GHG emissions visualization and AI energy management cloud services.
In the United States, which is experiencing a policy transition period, the collaboration between NZero, working on balancing energy costs and emissions, and ASUENE will accelerate decarbonization promotion and the provision of integrated solutions from visualization to reduction of CO2 emissions in both Japanese and US markets.
Through this acquisition, ASUENE will accelerate the visualization of CO2 emissions and implementation of reduction measures for US companies. By combining ASUENE's achievement as Asia's No.1 in CO2 emissions visualization business with NZero's top-class AI-powered energy management system technology implemented by US state governments, ASUENE will build a world-class decarbonization platform.
Background of NZero M&A
In 2025, the US climate tech market is being affected by policy changes under the Trump administration, including re-withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, reduction in renewable energy investments, relaxation of environmental regulations, and increased support for the fossil fuel industry, resulting in a declining commitment to decarbonization at the federal level.
However, in contrast to federal government movements, states, local governments, and the private sector are accelerating their own decarbonization efforts due to heightened concerns about climate change and economic rationality. In fact, many states including California and New York, as well as major cities, are setting ambitious emission reduction targets and promoting renewable energy implementation plans regardless of federal government policies.
NZero is a climate tech company that provides one-stop solutions for automatic hourly collection of utility data such as electricity and gas, and real-time, high-precision data visualization and reduction measure simulations and proposals through AI utilization. NZero's technology, which simultaneously supports optimization of energy costs and GHG emissions, has been implemented primarily by Nevada and Michigan state governments, and in large energy-consuming public facilities and data centers. It has been highly recognized in the US, including being selected in the "Accurate Emissions Data" category of TIME magazine's "Best Inventions 2022."
ASUENE provides global multi-products in the decarbonization and ESG fields, such as the CO2 emissions visualization, reduction, and reporting cloud service "ASUENE" and climate change consulting. By providing sustainability solutions in a one-stop manner, ASUENE has supported the decarbonization and ESG management of many companies, with over 10,000 companies using "ASUENE" and over 15,000 companies using "ASUENE ESG," boasting the industry's No.1 track record in CO2 visualization business.
NZero's joining the group has high complementarity with ASUENE's strengths in terms of NZero's global service deployment capabilities and high engineering skills. By combining the strengths of both companies, ASUENE aims to build a system that can provide one-stop decarbonization support and realize a world-class decarbonization platform.
What will be achieved through this group joining
Leveraging the high-precision GHG emissions calculation systems and energy management technologies of ASUENE and NZero, as well as their implementation track records with US state governments, public sectors, and companies, ASUENE will strengthen further business expansion in the US market.
Under the mission of "A better world for the next generation," ASUENE will accelerate the realization of a decarbonized society with a focus on Japan, the United States, and global markets.
