How to minimize fossil CO2 emissions

Top six reasons to switch to SSAB Zero™ steel.

SSAB Zero™ has the same strength and quality as traditional steel – but is produced with virtually zero fossil CO2 emissions. You and your customers will not notice the difference, but the planet will. Here are six compelling reasons to be part of the shift towards a fossil-free future.

1. Lead the way in industrial decarbonization

Steel production accounts for around 7% of global CO2 emissions, making it one of the biggest contributors to climate change. By choosing SSAB Zero™ steel your business becomes a trailblazer in reducing greenhouse gas emissions – setting an example for many industries.

2. Seamless integration into your existing applications

Switching to SSAB Zero™ with less climate impact requires no compromises. SSAB Zero™ offers the same high-quality performance as traditional steel, ensuring your products maintain their strength, durability, and reliability – just with a significantly lower environmental footprint.

3. Meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions

Customers and businesses alike are prioritizing sustainability. Companies investing in green technologies gain a competitive edge, as your customers (consumers or other businesses) increasingly prefer more sustainable products. By adopting SSAB Zero™ steel, your business aligns with this shift, future-proofing its offerings.

Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, pushing industries toward more sustainable practices. Early adoption of steel with lower climate impact, such as SSAB Zero™ helps your business stay ahead of compliance requirements while reinforcing its reputation as an industry leader in sustainability.
