Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint

Was ist der Carbon Footprint?

Beginnen wir mit der Grunddefinition. Der Carbon Footprint – oder CO2-Fußabdruck – ist die Gesamtmenge an Treibhausgasen (vornehmlich Kohlendioxid), die von einer Aktivität, einem Individuum oder einer Organisation direkt oder indirekt erzeugt wird.

Carbon Footprint und die Stahlproduktion

Die Steel Production spielt eine große Rolle beim Carbon Footprint. Bei der Stahlproduktion werden massive Mengen an Energie benötigt, wofür meist fossile Brennstoffe verwendet werden. Dadurch kommt es zur Emission von Treibhausgasen. Der Carbon Footprint der gesamten Stahlindustrie ist enorm.

Carbon Footprint im Stahlhandel

Auch der Steel Trade hat einen Carbon Footprint. Dieser entsteht jedoch nicht durch die Produktion, sondern vielmehr durch die Logistik. Beim Transport von Stahlwaren, egal ob per Schiff, LKW oder Flugzeug, fallen ebenfalls Treibhausgase an.

Reduzierung des Carbon Footprints in der Stahlindustrie

Die gute Nachricht ist, dass es Möglichkeiten zur Reduzierung des Carbon Footprints in der Stahlproduktion und im Stahlhandel gibt. Dazu gehören der Einsatz von grüner Energie in der Produktion, der verstärkte Einsatz von Recycling-Stahl und die Optimierung der Logistik im Handel. Es ist von großer Bedeutung, dass die Stahlindustrie ihre Anstrengungen zur Reduzierung des Carbon Footprints intensiviert, um zur globalen Klimaerwärmung nicht weiter beizutragen.
