Climate change and stricter regulations are driving the construction industry to develop solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing the life cycle impacts of buildings calls for active parties and enablers of the transition across the industry. Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB, is transforming the industry with innovative building products made with more sustainable next-generation steels. New products and a holistic approach to life cycle impacts enable customers to build more sustainably.
The HYBRIT initiative now presents the results of six years of research in a final report to the Swedish Energy Agency. The report shows that direct reduced iron produced with the HYBRIT process has superior characteristics compared to iron produced with fossil fuels. HYBRIT has applied for and received several patents based on the successful results, and the project is now continuing in the next phase where the process is to be implemented on an industrial scale.
Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB, has signed an agreement with real estate investor Nrep’s logistics arm Logicenters to deliver a unique logistics center in Tampere. The lifecycle emissions of the building will be significantly smaller than usual, as the walls will be made of innovative Ruukki[®] LowCarbon products.
