To achieve this goal, company initiated ‘green tubes’ program in 2020, which focuses on reducing the CO2 footprint in tube production.
The “green tubes” program is specifically concerned with the avoidance of CO2 emissions. Where this is not possible, the company tries to reduce or compensate. The metal processing specialist’s Steel/Tube division plans to halve its total CO2 emissions by 2030 and become CO2-neutral by 2045.
To achieve this goal, BENTELER Steel/Tube aims to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2030 for direct emissions (Scope 1) generated in production and for indirect emissions (Scope 2) generated through the purchase of energy. Emissions on the procurement side will be reduced by 30% in the first step.
By 2045, BENTELER Steel/Tube also wants to become CO2-neutral on the procurement side and thus have greened the supply chain, production and products. Important measures on this path are, for example, the purchase of electricity from renewable energies and the use of CO2-neutral raw materials in the manufacture of welded tubes.
