WOLF and ArcelorMittal Steel Service Centres: Green Steel for sustainable ventilation solutions
WOLF GmbH is sending a strong signal for climate protection and resource conservation: With immediate effect, the expert for healthy indoor climate is integrating CO2-reduced steel into a large part of its HVAC product range. As a driver of innovation, WOLF is working closely with ArcelorMittal, one of the world's leading steel manufacturers.
Sustainable steel for future-proof ventilation technology
For its steel-galvanized components, the systems provider uses ArcelorMittal's XCarb® recycled and renewably produced product – a particularly sustainable form of steel production.
The XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel is produced in the electric arc furnace of ArcelorMittal's plant in Sestao, Spain. It consists of at least 75% recycled material and is produced exclusively with electricity from 100% renewable energy. As a result, the hot-dip galvanized steel used for WOLF has a CO₂ footprint of only 877 kg per ton – compared to 2,570 kg for conventionally produced steel. These values are based on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which are based on life cycle analyses in accordance with EN 15804 and ISO 14025.
Partnership as a milestone
With the integration of XCarb® recycled and renewably produced, WOLF is consistently expanding its sustainability strategy: Customers can choose the "Green Steel" option for the majority of air handling units in the quotation process – including the KG Top series. The selection is transparently documented: a technical data sheet shows both the CO₂ share of the material used and the concrete savings achieved. "Our partnership with ArcelorMittal is a milestone on the way to a more sustainable production chain," explains Martin Wendels, Director Air Handling Division at WOLF GmbH. "With the Green Steel option, we are supporting our customers in achieving their own climate targets – with reliable proof of CO₂ reduction."
Holistic approach
Anastasiia Zvorykina, Product Development Manager & Sustainable Steel Coordinator at ArcelorMittal Steel Service Centres, also emphasizes the strategic importance: "With XCarb® recycled and renewably produced, we are not only promoting the circular economy, but also providing a concrete solution to the challenges of decarbonization. The cooperation with WOLF shows how CO₂-reduced steel is used in practice."
However, sustainability means more to WOLF than the use of CO₂-optimised steel: the company relies on climate-friendly solutions along the entire value chain – from the use of green electricity at all locations to natural refrigerants and energy-efficient ventilation technology to e-mobility and the promotion of biodiversity on the factory premises.
