The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) recently awarded SSAB Alabama Inc., a $361,100 grant to complete a scrap tire derived crumb rubber study in the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process. Funding for this project will be used to purchase the crumb rubber and the specialized equipment for injecting this material into the EAF. This funding will also be used to work with a third-party engineering company to conduct an off-gas emissions study and subsequent report. Liberty Tire and Recycling is providing the crumb rubber for the trial.
SSAB’s near- and long-term carbon emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Approval means that the targets are scientifically based and in line with the SBTi’s raised requirements for companies to deliver on the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
SSAB has entered an agreement with K-Tec, Canada’s first original equipment manufacturer of heavy-duty earth scrapers to pilot SSAB Fossil-free[™] steel in its earthmoving product line.
