Find Out MoreWhat is green steel? While there’s no universally accepted definition, this type of steel is produced using sustainable, environmentally friendly methods. The key features of green steel include a reduced carbon footprint, sustainable production processes, and high strength and durability.
Reduced carbon footprint
One of the most significant benefits of green steel in the UK is its drastically reduced carbon footprint. While traditional steel production relies heavily on fossil fuels, which leads to high greenhouse gas emissions, green steel is manufactured using renewable energy sources, recycled materials, and innovative low-carbon production techniques such as hydrogen-based reduction. This results in a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, which helps businesses meet their sustainability targets.
Sustainable production processes
Green steel is produced through environmentally friendly methods that focus on using resources efficiently and reducing waste. These processes include electric arc furnace (EAF) technology that uses recycled scrap metal and direct reduced iron (DRI) methods that replace coking coal with hydrogen. By adopting these advanced techniques, green steel production reduces water and energy consumption significantly while minimising the amount of industrial waste produced.
High strength & durability
While green steel’s production processes reduce greenhouse gas emissions and industrial waste, they certainly do not lower the quality of this material. Supplied by SPS, this material offers the same, if not better, mechanical properties as conventional steel. High-strength green steel ensures longevity and reliability in a range of applications, making it a superb choice for industries that require robust materials, such as automotive, construction, and infrastructure projects.
