Our customers' demand for specialised and sustainable steel products is steadily increasing.
Our long-standing Spanish partner Hiperbaric ordered the first greentec steel Edition plates from voestalpine Grobblech.
Hiperbaric is the world's leading company specialised in industrial equipment for High Pressure Technologies. For over 20 years, Hiperbaric has established itself as an international leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of industrial High Pressure Processing (HPP) equipment for the food and beverage industry and is represented with its machines on five continents. In addition, Hiperbaric has developed a new line of industrial machines for Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) used for critical industrial components in the aerospace, energy, oil and gas, automotive or medical implant sectors.
In 2021 Hiperbaric launched another innovative business line:
high pressure hydrogen compression from renewable energies, to participate in the challenge of the decarbonization of the mobility and the economy.
The long-standing strategic partnership between Hiperbaric and voestalpine reached a new level with the delivery of the first CO2-reduced heavy plates for one of the Hot Isostatic Presses (HIP) machines. Sustainable and high-quality steel products combined with an environmentally friendly logistics are important steps toward climate.
"More than just words"
voestalpine greentec steel Edition is not just words or promises. The ordered CO2-footprint is proofed and declared by the independent auditor LR. The declaration is handed out after delivery and officially confirms the reduced carbon footprint.
greentec steel – our path to green steel
We are continuously implementing measures to reduce the consumption of resources in steel production. With greentec steel, we have a long-term decarbonisation strategy in order to also be able to make our contribution to achieving the climate targets. An important first step is the incremental shift from the blast furnace route to a hybrid-electric steel pathway from 2027. Once an electric arc furnace goes into operation at each of the Linz and Donawitz sites in early 2027, CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced, by up to 30%. The steel and technology Group’s long-term mission is carbon-neutral steel production using green hydrogen, for which it is already undertaking intensive research into promising breakthrough technologies.
