    Industrial business with 0% material CO2 emissions
    Metals business 48% climate friendly EAF using renewable energy (green steel)
     
    >> 4 blast furnaces replaced by 3 EAFs

  • 100% net zero CO2 emissions
     
    Industrial business with 0% material CO2 emissions
    Final blast furnace replacement by the most sophisticated technological and economical option:
    + H2-DRI-process
    + Hyfor / SuSteel / CCU/CCS ...

voestalpine's path to net zero CO2 emissions

SBTi has confirmed that voestalpine´s net zero targets are credible and in line with the goal of limiting global warming to 2.0°C

"The Net-Zero Standard gives companies a clear blueprint on how to bring their net-zero plans in line with the science, which is non-negotiable in this decisive decade for climate action. Because we are running out of time." Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Professor in Earth System Science at the University of Potsdam
