REGION: EUROPE
INDUSTRY: Automotive Components Manufacturing
A leading producer of steel is paving the way in the European industry with their ambitious carbon reduction goals. Committed to addressing climate change, they’re targeting scope 1 and 2 neutrality by 2030 and aspiring for total net-zero by 2045.
With upcoming regulations such as the CBAM heavily impacting the steel and aluminum industry, the company wants to offer low-carbon products as a part of its portfolio and leverage it to gain a competitive advantage in the market. However, with around 1 million products sold every year, this is a challenge that needs to be solved with automation technology to understand the carbon performance of their products and make smart and strategic decisions to reduce carbon footprint at the highest efficiency.
With the Environmental Intelligence System (carbmee EIS™), they gained carbon transparency on their product carbon footprints, identified hotspots across the value chain, and implemented targeted reduction strategies.
Leveraging carbmee EIS™ for Remarkable Results
in the Steel Industry, Faster than the Competition
With carbmee EIS™, the steel producer has achieved significant milestones in their net-zero journey in only a few weeks of partnership. Here’s a summary of what we achieved together:
Four Times Faster PCF Calculation
In less than 21 days, the company calculated the Product Carbon Footprint of their most strategic components available in the market, multiple times faster than doing it manually which took 3 months to deliver only one PCF before. With carbmee EIS™, they were able to swiftly integrate operational data and Bill Of Materials data into the platform and get them calculated in an automated way, saving hundreds of hours of manual work.
Unlocking Hidden Hotspots Materials, Processes and Suppliers
With the EIS™, the manufacturer gained a holistic view over their entire product carbon footprint performance, uncovering emissions hotspots within their entire value chain. From material-related emissions (Scope 3) to production-related emissions (Scope 1 and 2), no carbon-intensive area remained hidden. The comprehensive and rapid calculation of the PCFs provided tangible, scalable, and comparable results, granting the company invaluable insights into their environmental impact. Moreover, carbmee has facilitated the identification of strategic items and production processes that played a pivotal role in the emissions profile, allowing the company to join forces with them in implementing targeted reduction strategies.
Assertive Reduction with High-Impact Scenarios
In less than 21 days, the company calculated the Product Carbon Footprint of their most strategic components available in the market, multiple times faster than doing it manually which took 3 months to deliver only one PCF before. With carbmee EIS™, they were able to swiftly integrate operational data and Bill Of Materials data into the platform and get them calculated in an automated way, saving hundreds of hours of manual work.
