A REAL HOT DEAL: OSO HOTWATER RELIES ON greentec steel WELL INTO THE FUTURE
voestalpine and OSO Hotwater, a Norwegian manufacturer of heat pump boilers, storage tanks and smart boilers, have one thing in common: the sustainable pursuit of decarbonization. With an agreement on the future use of premium colofer® steel strip as a greentec steel edition product, the longstanding partners have come one step closer to this goal. The two companies are high-profile role models in the industry and worldwide.
MAXIMUM QUALITY, LESS CO2
Behind the innovation of greentec steel, voestalpine is pursuing an ambitious step-by-step plan in the long-term decarbonization of steel production. The company is now in the initial stage of the project. In plain language, this means adaptations to the manufacturing process, maximization of scrap content and using electricity from renewable energy sources in order to achieve a 10% reduction in direct CO2 emissions. With further optimization measures, this share is set to rise even further in the coming years before new technologies pave the way by 2050 for fully green steel production. The foundation has now been laid and, as the example shows, has been met with a great deal of acceptance on the market. Sigurd Braathen, Product & QVE Manager, Domestic, OSO Hotwater, explains the green alternative like this: "A decision to buy greentec steel from voestalpine is based on the responsibility of every sustainable company contribute even more to energy-efficient solutions. We strongly believe that partnering and collaborating with suppliers is the best way to achieve measurable results on our path toward a carbon-free future."
A SHOWCASE COMPANY FROM THE INNOVATIVE NORTH
Market-leading providers of environmentally friendly heating solutions have relied on the diversified portfolio of OSO Hotwater for many years. The quality of the products is highly convincing, as is the company's clear focus on protecting the environment. By choosing to buy CO2-reduced premium steel from voestalpine, the company underlines its position as a sustainable pioneer and earns green plus points with its customers and partners.
The environment shouldn't leave us cold. And, as you can see, even a warm shower can make a sustainable difference.
