对无化石,绿色钢说是!
一家瑞典公司的SSAB在制造了世界上第一个“无化石”钢并将其交付给沃尔沃以供电动卡车使用时,实现了脱碳的绿色里程碑。This environmentally friendly steel was created using green hydrogen instead of coal and coke as the reductant to combine iron ore and limestone together and was made in an electric arc furnace instead of the conventional coal-fired blast furnace so that’s killing two birds with one stone or in this case, two steps towards a greener future!
该公司的目标是“不使用化石燃料或化石原材料”来创建材料。无化石钢是不产生二氧化碳排放和使用无化石能源的而制造的。”为此,他们确保氢电解器和电弧炉全都在“无化石”可再生能源上运行,并且该工艺中使用的铁也来自“无化石”采矿作业。结果是坚固的钢,其质量与普通钢的质量相同,尽管贵贵一些。但是,看到它如何有助于消除有害气体及其对环境的影响,更多的钱值得材料。
Volvo, along with SSAB are committed to making a climate-neutral business by 2050. SSAB sells more than 7 billion dollars’ worth of steel each year and is aiming to start producing this “fossil-free” steel on an industrial scale in 2026 and convert the entire business to “fossil-free” by 2045.
当涉及到环保选择时,瑞典始终取得领先,这次旨在在2024年开始在世界上最大的绿色钢铁设施中生产,为其他国家提供了一个很好的榜样。
