SUMMARY:Green steel: The future is electric
DESCRIPTION:Global climate change is due to the very sharp increase in CO2 emissions over the past 60 years. The steel industry, being one of the largest CO2 emitters, must therefore significantly reduce its CO2 emissions, in order to meet the 1.5° Paris Climate Agreement' s target.  The GMH Gruppe is already playing a pioneering role in the decarbonization of the industrial value chain. For more than 25 years, this medium-sized group of companies has relied on steel production in electric arc furnaces. By using this technology, the CO2 emissions of crude steel are already significantly below the industry average, at 0.4 tones per 1 tone of steel. Their long-term goal is to produce steel in a climate-neutral way by 2039. As an interim step, emissions are to be halved by 2030. There are a number of decisive steps for achieving climate neutrality in electric steel production, such as the use of green electricity in production which can significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Other measures include, the use of biogenic carbon carriers as well as the use of hydrogen instead of natural fossil gas. The use of by-products such as slag or waste heat also makes a decisive contribution to decarbonization. In the long term, it is crucial to look at the entire supply chain, which is why the focus on upstream emissions (so-called Scope 3) is also becoming increasingly relevant.
