SUMMARY:Viridis carbon: Emissions tracking in industry 4.0
DESCRIPTION:Seeking to meet the environmental agreements and climate conventions, a lot of effort and resources have been made to decarbonize industrial sectors. The steel sector alone is responsible for 7% of global emissions and 5% of emissions in Europe.
However, besides the energy crisis, base industries in Europe are facing unfair competition with industries from countries that do not have the same level of ambition in climate matters.
Despite the huge challenge, key factors are helping to drive the transition towards carbon-friendly steel products and maybe the most powerful and effective aspect is the change in customer requirements. There is an increasing trend in the steel-consuming industries, such as the automotive industry, of eliminating carbon emissions from their entire value chains and these customers are even willing to pay more for the steel produced under reduced emissions.
In order to help steel industries to manage their emissions and create added value by differentiating their products, Vetta®, an SMS group company, has developed a digital solution for the management of emissions. This work presents Viridis Carbon, a digital solution for the management of gaseous and particulate emissions applied to the steel industry, from scopes 1, 2, and 3. The tool is able to issue reports on CO2 and GHG emissions in real time, generating transparency for stakeholders, policymakers, and competent authorities for taxation. It is also capable of tracking the emissions generated by each billet of steel produced, issuing emission certification seals, which makes it possible to differentiate products and increase added value for an increasingly demanding market with environmental commitment.
