greentec steel Edition
The greentec steel program is our ambitious phased plan for the long-term decarbonization of steelmaking. In a first step, we now also offer all flat steel products manufactured by our Linz-based Steel Division in a CO2-reduced version (greentec steel Edition). They include electrical steel, which is used in wind turbines, and high-tensile steels for lightweight automotive construction. As a result, we can offer a high-quality and transparent solution for all customers looking for an instantly recognizable, traceable and, above all, significant reduction in their carbon footprint.
We plan to reduce carbon emissions by adjusting the production process, such as by partially replacing coke with reducing agents containing hydrogen. The emissions saved are then recorded and collected as CO2 credits in a CO2 balance. Both the CO₂ savings achieved during the production process and the current CO2 balance are externally validated and verified with a certificate.
