“The volume of steel we purchase varies year to year, but it stands for approximately ten percent of our measured emissions,” says Elisabet Stadler. “We see that within certain steel segments we will be able to half our carbon emissions already within five years, and that reduction will be the result of using lower emission steel.”
Peab plans to start using SSAB Zero™ during early 2024 with around half of the initial 300 tonne delivery ordered being used for micro piles for foundations and the other half in construction work. This will not only help Peab one step closer to its climate targets, but also those of their customers.
“To illustrate – when evaluating the environmental footprint of a typical office building, it becomes evident that steel alone account for about 30 percent of the overall climate impact,” says Elisabet Stadler. “By offering alternatives to traditionally produced materials, such as SSAB Zero™, we help our customers meet their targets of reduced climate impact while still receiving the same quality of product.”
By continuing to replace traditional building materials with low emission alternatives, such as SSAB Zero™, Peab hopes to pave the way towards a more sustainable construction industry.
